In an intense style, she was placed Aphrodite Latinopoulou against teachers who, as he claimed, “ask for the abolition of national holidays”. Speaking to Action24 on Tuesday night, the president of “Voice of Reason” stated that “those teachers who turn against the homeland and national symbols they should have been fired yesterday,” calling them “rubbish.”
“It is not possible to see people who paid for by taxes us to speak against national holidays and post it on social media. This is the responsibility of the state. They had to be fired — sweep away this garbage that insults the memory of our heroes,” he said. Latinopoulou added that “I speak as a Greek woman and I consider it self-evident to honor our national symbols”.
Intervention for the Monument of the Unknown Soldier
Referring to the debate surrounding the Unknown Soldier, Latinopoulou emphasized that “such an issue should not even be raised”. “It is the most sacred monument of the country and we must respect it. The Mitsotakis government it lacks the fortitude to enforce legitimacy — only counters with cotton wool have not been put in front of him,” he said, criticizing New Democracy.
Proposal for a monument in Tempe
The president of “Voice of Reason” also proposed the creation of a separate monument for the victims of Tempe, “in Syntagma Square, where the Christmas tree is placed.” As he said, “the names of the victims have no place in the Monument to the Unknown Soldier, which honors those who sacrificed for the country.”
“The lost victims in Tempe were lost due to criminal negligence of the state and chronic pathologies. We cannot equate them with the heroes who gave their lives for their country. They are completely different things,” he emphasized.
What did he say about Alexis Tsipras?
He did not fail to mention Alexis Tsipras, describing him as “Metaxa”. As Aphrodite Latinopoulou characteristically said: “Tsipras looks like Metaxas in front of Mitsotakis”.
