Tomorrow, dear students, you will march in front of the monument to the Unknown Soldier.
In memory of the people lost in war grim.
My children, when you turn your head and gaze in the direction of this holy Monument, remember that in front of the glorious warrior, next to the inscriptions that remind of the heroic battles, 57 names are written. They weren’t soldiers (some of them didn’t make it…).
They got lost while returning to the universities, to their homes, to their own. Because nowadays it is a heroic act, to enter the public train. Because nowadays it is a heroic act, to ask for justice.
And in your parade, remember that true honor in the homeland is not the empty and hypocritical pompous statements, but the true love for Greece and the Greeks, responsibility, accountability, dignity, meritocracy and justice.
Tomorrow in your parade, you will be accompanied by the 57 souls who are leading the NO of all of us against the current enemies of our country, who have sunk it in mud, rot and corruption.
Tomorrow your parade is not only for the generations that have passed, but also for your own generation, and for those that follow, for those to whom we all owe a better tomorrow”, she concludes in her post Maria Karystianou.
