Vyron Polydoras

In 2014, he founded the party Union for the Homeland and the People in order to take part in 2014 European Parliament Elections.

In 2012 his party appointed him a member of the Special Permanent Committee on Institutions and Transparency. When soon August 2012 reports surfaced that Polydoras, who held the position of speaker of the parliament for just a single day, hired his daughter, Margarita, and made her a permanent employee in his office. This incident sparked uproar and anger among the general population. Following the incident, he was expelled from his party's parliamentary faction, but refused to give up his seat on the Institutions and Transparency committee.
