The message of the Minister of Education, Religions and Sports, Sofia Zacharakis for March 25th
Dear students, dear students,.
Dear and dear teachers.
I have the joy, from my new position as Minister of Education, Religions and Sports, to celebrate with you the national anniversary of March 25, which marked the hopeful outbreak of the 1821 revolution, as well as the long and hard struggle that followed.
“It was not so much the victories that gave the Greeks their independence as their refusal to accept the defeat,” writes historian Mark Mazauer for Greek Paligenia. This finding demonstrates the determination of the Greeks to release and succeed against the objective difficulties that seemed to be overcome.
Part of the mission of the Ministry of Education, your teachers and teachers, is to preserve the living of those values who made the “impossible” possible, causing the admiration of the whole world.
The national anniversary is a reason to come again with our heroes. To feel their passion for freedom. To learn from their passions and mistakes. To realize that together with the power of momentum, the great goals require the power of the spirit. Nothing would have begun if great minds and enlightened people such as Rigas Feraios and Adamantios Koras, with their ideas and fiery writings, did not make the ideological preparation and did not throw the seed of freedom. In this way they prepared the soul and mind of the Greeks for the furnace of the revolution.
The anniversary of March 25 is not only a memory of the past, but part of national resilience and power. It is an inspiration for the future we want to create for our country.
Long live March 25th! Many years!».
