It took 14 years since the day Manolis Kantaris was assassinated in the center of Athens for a camera.
Andrianna’s daughter, as every year this year, honored the memory of her father, who fell dead on May 10, 2011 at the intersection of Epirus and Fyli streets in Athens.
“It’s not just a date. This is the day when life and death have crossed in the most unfair way, “she writes in her post.
It is noted that her father was assassinated while preparing to take his wife to the maternity ward as he was preparing to bring their child to the world.
“14 years without you, dad. And yet, you still live within us. In our voice. In our memory. And we know that, from there, you see us. And you boast all 4, “he adds.
