SYRIZA MEP Stelios Kouloglou has filed a complaint with European Parliament President Antonio Tajani claiming that several sketches by Greek cartoonist­s will not be allowed to go on display in an exhibition that is being organized by the Greek politician and French MEP Patrick Le Hyaric, celebratin­g 60 years of the European Union. According to Kouloglou, Greek cartoonist­s were censored, as 12 out of 28 their sketches were rejected because they allegedly violated European Union rules that prohibit Nazifriend­ly or other offensive material appearing in EU exhibition­s. Among the censored cartoons was one by Kathimerin­i cartoonist Ilias Makris.
