In his case Panos Routsi, who is on the 17th day of hunger strike, the Minister of Health reported Adonis Georgiadisspeaking on ERTnews’ Live Now show.
The minister made it clear that “I do not deny that Rucci is striking a hunger for reasons he considers important. However, doctors have to examine it, human life is non -negotiable. ” He emphasized that EKAB “has a special role and institutional mission, is nowhere to” intimidate “, but to protect the life and health of the citizen”. As he said, he has been sent by EKAB with him, so that he can intervene in the event of a deterioration of his health. As Mr Georgiadis says, he refused to be examined and later denied that he received medical care. “I have been informed by the president of EKAB that Mr Routsi says he has his own ‘doctor’. I have to say clearly that I have no confidence in his doctor, “he said.
Continuing, the minister noted that “Mr Routsi refuses to be examined daily by the doctors of EKAB, who, by order, are on call in the Constitution to prevent any damage to his health” while as he said he was informed by the President of EKAB that he refused. Then, as the minister said, he noted that Mr Rutsi was coming to television and declares that he had never refused examinations by EKAB.

At the same time, he warned: “If he refuses to care for the state because he has been taught to do so, then those who have influenced or guided him are criminal responsibility if something happens to him. If Mr Rutsi’s something happened, and it turns out that he had guided care, then his guides will be legally accountable. We will not allow human life to be tool for political games. ” Concluding, he stressed that “the state did its duty. Responsibility now burdens those who prevent access to health care, and I invite them to stop immediately. ” Mr Georgiadis then stressed that the doctor who is watching him, Ms Kosmopoulou from Nice “is a harsh trade unionist on the left, is the doctor next to Koufodina who strike of a hunger for 66 days. Any hunger strike in recent years has always been next to this lady, all the announcements are identical. This doctor has a political interest, “Mr Georgiadis noted.
