OR government appears determined not to be blackmailed by teams and permanently discontinue the basketball championship with faulty owners OEM Panathinaikos and Olympic In case They do not come to the scheduled for 15:00 on Wednesday’s appointment with the Deputy Minister Sport Giannis Broutsis.
Speaking to Realfm on Tuesday morning, the Deputy Minister of Sports was clear about his intentions, stating, inter alia, that if the two sides are not with him at 15:00 on Wednesday (4/6, 15:00), that is, Dimitris Giannakopoulos with Panagiotis and Panagiotis Angelos.
Specifically, Yiannis Broutsis said, among other things: ‘On Wednesday at 15:00 I personally invited the owners, Mr. Angelopoulos and Mr. Giannakopoulos in my desk with what purpose? They will not sit at the same table together to solve their personal issues. These will be resolved by the courts. The goal is to send a loud message to violence and toxicity. The invitation to the minister’s table is to send a loud message against toxicity and to keep the league in this way.
If they come separately it makes no sense. The message, if we don’t send it all three, will have no basis. They will not come to solve their own issues, their own differences. They will solve them in the courts. I do not work with the announcements that exist in public dialogue and what is said. If they do not come to three at the appointment, the championship will stop at the Minister of Sports. Why this is not sport, this is not meant sportยป
At the same time, hypertensive executives consider by the present facts that not being the first time in 69 years of champion is at this time the most likely scenario, given the refusal of Messrs. George and Panagiotis Angelopoulos to sit at the same table as the Dimitris Giannakopoulos.
Yesterday’s message of Maximus Grand to the owners of the OEM It was clear: either they will meet with the state representative and will make specific commitments to the smooth completion of the league or they will also take responsibility for stopping it in case of non -attendance. “We are waiting for them until 15:00, at 15:05 there will be no championship,” a government source said after the shameful scenes that unfolded at the SEF on Sunday night.
According to his information protothema.grfrom Sunday night and while the ravines were unfolded in direct transmission, the Kyriakos Mitsotakis He appeared very concerned about what he could follow. “So if the next game becomes what can happen?” The prime minister said to his interlocutors. Hence between the route of non -intervention and intervention, he chose the second path, avoiding the “mid -range” solution of completing the finals with closed door games.
The government is weighing the reactions from the fans of the two popular teams and estimate that the reactions were rather sluggish for the prospect of a padlock. This on the one hand is linked to the fact that The non -completion of the championship has no consequences for the European course of teamson the other hand, it was such a situation that one could hardly consider that the finals could be completed with relative euphoria. Hence the ultimatum, which the teams appear to be ignored, perceived by the consequences, since the government is not going to retreat and appear blackmailing. “We need to protect the fans, both those who go to the stadium and those watching television,” added a central government source.
Hard line on stadiums and universities
As such, the curtain for the basketball championship is expected to fall soon, with the government now following a tougher line on law and order. It actually applies the model of football and to the basketballas he had a padlock on the Super League in previous season, and in this logic he moves to universities, With Mr. Mitsotakis yesterday he was meeting with the Rectors of HEIsrequesting the implementation of the security framework and announcing that any Rector who does not respond to the state’s demands will be faced with a discount.
