Great tension prevailed in the Parliament, during the debate on ratification of the Hellenic Hellenic Convention, after a photograph shown by Minister of Development, which the SYRIZA denounced it as a forgery.
The serious complaint was made, initially, by the MP of SYRIZA, Alexander Nicolaides on the occasion of the position of the Minister of Development in the Parliament.
Ο Adonis Georgiadis attempted to respond to his speech Alexis Tsipras, however, according to the deputy press spokesman of SYRIZA used and filed in the minutes a photo that is photoshop product.
In it, the opposition leader is allegedly depicted holding a banner that reads «Hellenic is not for sale». This photo is fake and has been circulating on the internet for some time.
«The vice-president of New Democracy, the Development Minister of the -now- tail of the EU, the “bunch” hunter and fake news complainant Adonis Georgiades, has just submitted a photoshop document to the Parliament. He confused being a minister with being a troll.», notes Alexandros Nicolaides.

In Parliament there was a lot of tension, with MPs from the SYRIZA benches, such as Paul Polakis and Yannis Ragousis, accusing him of vulgarity.
The incident provoked the outburst of Yannis Ragousis who accused A. Georgiades of behaving like «humiliated internet troll».
«Instead of coming to apologize and asking for the photo to be removed from the record. The problem lies with your party and your party's supporters who see a minister coming here and to circulate fake photos.» he said.
Taking the floor again, Adonis Georgiades appeared unrepentant and tried to refute the criticism by making a leap of logic to his own standards.
«Whether the photo is real or not I cannot know. You claim it. For three minutes you have been insulting me. I was not present at the demonstrations and I cannot know. But I can know that what the banner says was said by Mr Tsipras, so your sensitivity is hypocrisy.».
In fact, the Development Minister had previously announced the photo via Twitter, while after the issue took on a larger scale, he said he would respond again to the fake photo.
In a moment I'll answer to the House about this «dear» ...after all this time you should know that I'm not hiding... https://t.co/gl2AdtACHS
