The whole announcement of the Minister of Tourism for Harry Doukas
No answer to Athens
The response to the social media of the Mayor of Athens, Mr. Haris Doukas, is a unpleasant surprise. Not only for the unprecedented anti -disgusting tone and the inappropriate way, but mainly because it dares to answer the essence of the issue.
Our letter concerned a serious subject, affecting the image of the capital. And it closed with two clear positions: the need for cooperation and the common goal of a safe, democratic and hospitable Athens. Unfortunately, Mr. Doukas refused both. Because it just seems to be neither the problem nor its solution.
On the contrary, he is suffering from constant conflicts, away from his duties. Instead of taking responsibility for him, he decided to cheap propaganda, which is incompatible with the seriousness of his institutional role.
I want to be absolutely clear. Athens cannot become a city of fear and abusive slogans. It should not be identified with racism, anti -Semitism and intolerance.
It must be and remain an open, safe and democratic city that respects its visitors and values of our country.
Let us all take over our responsibilities.
What did Harris Duke support
In his response to the first letter of the Minister of Tourism, the Mayor of Athens argued that the Ministry of Tourism “remembered graffiti and Israel with a long delay that he was identified with the views of the Israeli ambassador and cited photos of the Municipality of Athens.
The post of Harry Duke:
“Another ministry is involved in the government front against the municipality of Athens.
This afternoon with a long delay, the Ministry of Tourism remembered graffiti and Israel, completely identified with the views of the Israeli ambassador.
Welcomes and other attacks of the ministries now that it is “turning”.
PS. In the pictures you can see the letter from the Ministry of Tourism and the photos that prove the systematic work done by the Cleanliness Directorate to clean the walls and monuments of Athens. “
Olga Kefalogiannis’ first letter
The Minister of Tourism sent a letter to the Mayor of Athens Harry Doukas, asking him to clean the capital’s streets of the abusive graffiti against the Israelis.
Ms Kefalogiannis is expressing her concern about the negative image that can be shaped abroad for the country’s capital, due to extensive abusive and threatening graffiti against Israel and Israeli citizens.
He stresses that it is particularly critical to “be immediate and meaningful initiative” by Mr Doukas in order to protect the image of the city and to ensure that Athens remains a safe and hospitable capital.
The Minister of Tourism points out to the Mayor of Athens that the image of the capital should be reflected in the values of hospitality and respect that characterize Greece and the Greeks, without leaving room for racism, anti -Semitism and intolerance.
He also emphasizes that everyone and everyone, from his position, must ensure a sense of security and enhance the confidence of visitors to the city.
