In his letter of protest, Panathinaikos AO requires the immediate dismissal of the GG of the Municipality of Chios, stressing that such behaviors underestimate the morality, dignity and contribution of Panathinaikos SA. in Greek sport.
In detail the letter of Panathinaikos SA

13!, Which you can see here: (https://www.sdna.gr/polo/1330759_I-anartisi-toy-GG-toy-doyhioy-gia-ton-agona-me-on-panathinaiko-lage-opoy-se-bro).
This post, with its content and style, not only underestimates our historical club and our athletic substance, but brutally affects the morality, dignity and contribution of Panathinaikos SA. in Greek sport. Such behaviors by a public official who holds a position of responsibility such as that of the Secretary -General, are unthinkable and contradict every concept of ethics and professionalism. We consider it unacceptable for a high -ranking official in your municipality to express himself in a way that not only does not honor his position but affects the image of the Municipality of Chios and creates a negative climate in relations with one of the country’s largest sports organizations. Mr Restemis’ behavior is not in line with the principles of the good and the solidarity of sport, while undermining the attempt to cultivate a healthy sports spirit.
For the above reasons, Panathinaikos SA It requires the immediate removal of Mr. Efstathios Restemis from the position of Secretary General of the Municipality of Chios. Such behaviors cannot and should not be tolerated, especially by persons representing public institutions. We call for immediate investigation of the issue and taking the necessary measures to restore the price of our Association and ensure that similar incidents are not repeated in the future.
We are waiting for your written answer within a reasonable time, as well as information on the actions you will receive, for a employee who wishes to go to the bottom of the pool young children.
We are at your disposal for any further clarification. “
Indeed, Panathinaikos is not willing to leave the matter and continued to the issue by issuing a strongly announcement, notifying that he has sent letters to the JIT, to the North Aegean Regional Governor, Mr. Costas I. Matzouris.
In addition to removing retem, the requirements of the Association are exploring the issue and taking immediate measures, while clarifying that no apology to the Secretary General. will not be accepted.
Panathinaikos’ announcement:
“The Panathinaic Athletic Club informs its members, millions of green fans and Greece’s sporting public about his actions about what happened at the Pan -Hellenic Polo Championship K13.
The Association expresses absolute frustration and indignation at the unacceptable events that took place during the organization of the children of the Mini Children’s Age (K13), under the auspices of the Swimming Federation.
Instead of being a celebration of sport and friendship, the event turned into a spectacle of lawlessness and tramping, with parents and local actors displaying behaviors that defame the spirit of sport and shame the local community. In addition to what happened at the expense of the Panathinaikos team, similar behaviors were presented in another race of the event.
Particular challenge is the behavior of the Secretary General of the Municipality of Chios, Mr. Efstathiou Restmi, who:
He failed miserably in ensuring a safe and fair celebration for children under 13 years.
He showed hatred and prejudice through his public posts, referring to disgusting terms to the children of Panathinaikos (“Lage, where I find you will hurt you” and wishes to find 13 -year -old athletes at the bottom of the pool).
He offered an unacceptable example as a representative of local government, jeopardizing the dignity of the institution he represents.
In this context, Panathinaikos has sent letters to the JIT, to the Northern Aegean Regional Governor, Mr. Costas I. Moutzouris and to the Mayor of Chios, Mr. Ioannis Malafis.
We ask:
-The immediate removal of Mr Restmi from any institutional position as he himself exposes the negative aspect of society and does not express the sports ideals.
– Official investigation by the swimming federation and the authorities responsible for the responsibility of ordering the classroom and the unprofessional behavior observed.
– Immediate measures to avoid similar incidents in the future, based on children’s protection and athletic values.
Sport is not hatred, fanaticism or political exploitation. They are education, solidarity and respect – values that we must pass through the younger generations. We will not tolerate the dignity of any child based on the color of their jersey.
It is meant by Mr Restimi’s public or private apology will be accepted by the Association
Panathinaikos Athletic Club -Our History is Sport, Our Moral Obligation! “
