Controversies

Extreme views for compulsory vaccination

In November 2020, in an appearance on a show on the TV station SKAI, where he works, he expressed the view of the compulsory vaccination by force with the vaccines against COVID-19. On February 2, 2021, on the occasion of the infection of medical and nursing staff in a hospital in Patras, Portosalte demanded via Twitter the dismissal of those doctors and nurses who refuse to be vaccinated with vaccines against COVID-19, implying that the staff had not been vaccinated. Τhe president of the hospital staff accused Portosalte of fake news and that what he said was a disgrace as the infected staff had managed to be vaccinated only with the first dose of the vaccine and infected with the British mutation of the virus.[5][6]
