The president of Pnois Demokratia and professor of the School of Medicine of the AUTH Dimitris Kouvelas spoke on the morning of Wednesday 12 November to StatusFM and emphasized that he has a good relationship with her Maria Karystianou and he met twice with her, while she had conveyed to him that she was thinking of moving politically. Regarding the words of Mr. Karahaliou that he is her advisor in the creation of a party, he replied that “Maybe he misunderstood something».
Regarding whether Mrs. Karystianou will be politically active, Mr Dimiris Kouvelas stated: “When the rumor started that she was going to have a party, I approached her and told her that we are willing if she makes a move to be with her. Provided I know exactly what this political scheme will express because we may not agree. Mrs. Karystianou answered me that she wants to change the situation in Greece. He wants a country with justice, which obviously we all want. He wants a country with national independence. Something we all obviously want. But this term of social independence and justice is controversial. He told me he was thinking of becoming a politician. Whether she would establish it herself, whether she would join, whether she would ask for a wider help, she did not explain to me. I did not share her thoughts, I conveyed to her that we would support her“, said Mr. Kouvelas and added:
«When I met Mrs. Karystianou on the eve of the last big rally of the recent summer, she did not even tell me that she would attend. We let it float that we might all get together with some of my subject matter experts to advise her politically. She couldn’t because she had to go back to Thessaloniki and the meeting never took place.”
Regarding what Nikos Karahalios said, the Professor of Medicine stated: “IYou misunderstood some things I said to him in our conversation, which was nothing secret. There are no contacts with Mrs. Karystianou in the way it was interpreted. I met with her twice and the second time I told her because she is a people-oriented person, if she needs anything I and not myself, with all the Spirit of Democracy that we have created with other people of similar perception, we will stand by her and provide her with what she needs. Since then he has only asked me via SMS if I know any finance experts. I gave her two names and had no further contact with her. Another time we met before the European elections in a large group and we discussed not about politics, but about how the issue of Tempe could be internationalized”.
When asked if Karahalios was lying, he answered: “Mr. Karahalios is not lying, but perhaps he interpreted in another way what I told him that I would support her in her potentially political choices. I didn’t know if he would do anything and I had no idea that Mr. Karahalios would do the WAVE». When one of the presenters of the show mentioned that “Mr. Karahalios stated that you are constantly next to Mrs. Karystianou and advise her”, Dimiris Kouvelas replied: “No, that is not the case. I think he understood more than what I told him. I believe it is very easy for someone to translate a contact into a consulting role».
“I think that Mrs. Karystianou, because she has a huge influence in the world, should capitalize on it”said Mr. Kouvelas, adding meaningfully «Everything is politics. Since there is such a phenomenon, its movement is now political. The “burnt mother” is an unfortunate event, but it has nothing to do with the popular projection and this movement that she seems to present every time she appears in the world. This is purely political. She did not tell me that she is determined to start a movement or a party, but she is obviously thinking about it».
“Karystianou does not want to have anything to do with Konstantopoulou, nor with any other of the existing political schemes. Of course, politics is a matter of circumstances. When we find ourselves in front of a great enemy, some people will need to ally themselves”, emphasized D. Kouvelas. “Why he considers that they are in a political relay race, that in essence they do not want to react”he said.
