The Greek Parliament has voted to lift the parliamentary immunity of Zoe Konstantopoulou, the leader of the Course of Freedom party and former speaker. The decision, reached on June 30, 2026, pertains to three different legal cases related to her role as a lawyer for families of victims in the ongoing investigation into the 2023 Tempe train crash. The vote concluded with 173 members in favor, 36 against, and 27 abstaining.

This decision has been the subject of significant political tension, with Konstantopoulou herself arguing that the charges against her constitute political persecution due to her opposition to government policies. She has firmly denied the allegations that have led to the lifting of her immunity. Additionally, the discussions surrounding the vote were marked by intense exchanges between party members, including with New Democracy's Nikitas Kaklamanis. The legal cases are said to focus exclusively on her actions in her capacity as a lawyer.
