Mr. Marinakis emphasized that the Republic is guaranteing the right In the peaceful protest, However, there is clear that there is a clear separation when it turns into a racist attack.
‘There is no man who is not overwhelmed Seeing the images from Palestine, Especially with children and civilians. But there is a red line. A demonstration cannot be transformed into targeting people because of origin, religion or nationality. These are fascist practices and have no place in the rule of law, “he told Real FM.
He made a clear distinction between the slogan “freedom in Palestine“And in the racist targeting of people by Israel or the Jewish community. “Anyone who tells someone that he is not desirable because of his origin is a fascist,” he said.
By criticizing political persons, he pointed out That “many of them are in the House” And he stressed that the phenomenon of fascism, whether it comes from one side or on the other, must be treated by all democratic media.
Referring to recent episodes, he said that “the day in Syros was unfortunate”, and brought as a positive example to observe the legality in Rhodes. “The law applies to everyone. We will ensure the right to demonstration, as well as the security of every citizen, regardless of nationality or religion. Those who do not understand it will face the consequences, always under the law, “he said.
In closing, he addressed a strict message to specific MPs, saying that it is not tolerable to target citizens of other countries. “Our democracy has withstood 51 years and such statements, as the new leftist MP, have no place in public discourse. We will not allow the public dialogue to be poisoned with racist crowns, “he concluded.
