Political life

edit

Katman became a candidate of the Greek Ecologists party for the Aetolia-Acarnania prefecture in the European Parliament elections in 2009 after a proposal was made by the party's president Dimosthenis Vergis.[1] His speech was aired live during Annita Pania's show Ta Paratragouda from Kolonaki Square in Athens. He did not get elected. During a TV commentary discussion, Michalis Tremopoulos of the Ecologist Greens party mentioned in criticism to Vergis that the Greek people would never vote for a party composed of "mentally challenged" individuals, in obvious reference to Katelis.[2][unreliable source?]
