The organisers of the Moraitika Carnival chose to ridicule the Leader of the Greek Opposition, Stefanos Kasselakis, for his sexual orientation - rather than his political role - dressing and ultimately burning the SYRIZA president as the "Carnival King".
His effigy, named "Carnavolakis", had clear sexual references, with the photo of his face painted with red lipstick, a long, pink wig, women's underwear, and makeshift "constructions" like male genitalia.
