“Konstantinos and I feel the need to say a huge thank you to all the people. This whole wave of love is not a surprise for us because we knew very well what kind of person Kostas was, but it is very touching that others also realized it.

He struggled to be a journalist whose name is synonymous with purity and honesty. This is the greatest legacy he can leave to our son after 60 years of militant journalism.”

“Every child who had this dream reminded him of himself. Because Kostas grew up without parents with a wonderful stepfather without tips. He knocked on doors by himself. He wanted the help he was given then to be given to the young children as well,” continued journalist and wife of Costas Hardavella, Maria Panagopoulou.

“If there is an afterlife, Kostas will definitely be a reporter and he will definitely be my husband in the next life as well
Tomorrow is very difficult, it will be the final goodbye. When your man has passed intensive care there is a first goodbye but tomorrow will be the final one.

Anyone who wants to say goodbye to Kostas can come tomorrow to Panagitsa of Palaio Faliro, we will be there from 12 and the Exodus Procession will be sung at 13:30, however, it is our need to do his burial ourselves. Together with people we had chosen to be our family. Our very own people.

Kostas greatly appreciated the journalists who stand in the heat and the cold for a statement. Therefore it is a given that media are welcome in the church but we appeal, we very much ask that they respect our need to take him in a closed circle to his final abode”
