I have stoically received thousands of extreme homophobic messages as well as threats on my life.

Today, entangled media, continuing the dirty war against me, came out and said that “Kasselakis is walking around with three policemen!”, referring to “reasonable questions”.

For his part, Vassilis Chiotis, with his post on twitter, asks the candidate president of SYRIZA the following question: Did he ask for police protection himself or was it provided to him by ELAS. In particular, the director of Sky 100.3 wrote:

I have just been informed that Mr. Kasselakis has resigned from the guard provided by EL.AS. to himself but also to his partner.
Because even though I am a candidate with new ideas, I regurgitated old candies for the media who are fighting him, I ask him: His guard was provided by EL.AS. or did he ask for it himself?
