Koufontinas' book causes tension
The recently published autobiography by convicted member of the Greek terrorist organization November 17, Dimitris Koufontinas, has caused a debate.
In his book with the title, "I Was Born November 17," Koufontinas reveals details organization's activities, as well as details about the coordination and implementation of many of the group's operations.
Koufontinas admits, in his book, that the only mistake that they have made was the death of a young passerby, Thanos Axalian, who was killed in July 1992 in a failed rocket attack on the Greek Finance Minister of the time, Ioannis Palaiokrassas.
The book has already triggered massive reactions in the political scene.
Τhe decision of the leader of the radical left group Roza, which is part of SYRIZA, Nikos Giannopoulos, to preface the book, caused tension earlier on Wednesday in parliament, with many MP's from New Democracy asking SYRIZA to denounce its member, claiming that it isn't possible for the main opposition party in a Republic to have ties to a terrorist group.
