The government and the Yiannis Broutsis are not willing to make discounts if the strong men of the OEM Panathinaikos and OEM Olympiakos do not retreat and find a solution in order to limit the toxicity to Greek basketball and continue the league finals normally.
Speaking to Real FM, Deputy Minister of Sports, Yiannis Broutsis, explained that it makes no sense for Dimitris Giannakopoulos and the Angelopoulos brothers to go to his office on Wednesday (4/6/2025).
If they do not come together and do not sit on the same table, then the finals will be permanently interrupted.
“On Monday morning the whole world woke up disgusted, all of Greece woke up disgusted. The paradox is that in the match between two of Europe’s best teams, while not falling a pin on the pitch, we saw shameful phenomena in the terrain and this is not tolerated by the government.
We were obliged to react and react. The first was postponed to the game, as it was, “Mr Vroutsis initially said of what we saw on Sunday and continued saying:
“On Wednesday at 15:00 I have personally invited the owners, Mr. Angelopoulos and Mr. Giannakopoulos in my office? They will not sit at the same table together to solve their personal issues, they will solve the courts. The goal is to send a loud message to violence and toxicity to continue the championship.
If they come separately it makes no sense. The message, if we don’t send it all three, will have no basis.
I do not work with the announcements that exist in public dialogue and what is said. If they do not come to three at the appointment, the championship will stop at the Minister of Sports. Because this is not a sport. “
