The Statement of the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on the loss of Marietta Giannakou

“I say goodbye to our Marietta with a crash. A great woman, a good friend and an unpaid fighter. She never bent down, saying that difficulties make her steel. And yet, she lost the most critical, the only battle of the many she gave for her health. It is not easy to accept that this personality, with her calm passion for life and public offering, is no longer with us.

From her village, Geraki, to the Medical School and from the Greek Parliament to the European Parliament, Marietta was a symbol of individual development and advancement. An indomitable and daring spirit, which did not take into account established views and myopic perceptions. She submitted to only one during her many years in science and politics: the best for the place and the citizen.

He combined family with career and public presence with social action. No one forgets her struggles for Education, against drugs and for women’s rights. Its parliamentary initiatives, either in Athens or in Brussels. The battles he fought from wherever he was found. With a reformist vision and an insistence on modernization and progress.

Marietta was an executive who came from the bowels of the party, from ONED and the local organizations. However, she remained in the political arena until the end of her life, gaining the respect of all parties and our entire society. Because, by common confession, he was one of the most dignified and active deputies and ministers who ever passed through Greece.

“I personally mourn a precious friend and rarely a collaborator. And her colleagues in Parliament, as well as her countless friends from every political space and from every corner of the country, a voice that is bold and radical. But always polite and unifying. He will be greatly missed. To her daughter Zoe, to her sister Fani and to her own people, my warmest condolences “.
