PASOK President at events for the 84th anniversary of the Battle of Crete
“Our country is in a critical geopolitical environment. We do not have the luxury of not having historical and collective memory, “said PASOK Change President Nikos Androulakis at events for the 84th anniversary of the Battle of Crete at the Astratic Fighter Monument, organized by Cretan Associations of Attica.
“The Battle of Crete is a unique event in world war history, demonstrating the passion of the Cretan people for freedom. Simple people-men, women, children-with few means gave an asymmetric struggle against the most well-organized war machine at that time, “the PASOK-KINAL President said in his address.
He pointed out that “it is a duty to honor our heroes. Particularly at this time, because it may have been over eight decades, but the Nazi ideas that our ancestors then faced are still present in many countries “, while stressing that they” invest in hatred, inhumanity, divisions and human rights. That is why collective memory is a guard for both our generations and the following. “
