The ND MP and former minister Dora Bakoyannis described the Church’s position regarding the call for a test for the unvaccinated as exceptional, speaking this morning at SKAI TV and the show “Today”. “Great and Enlightened Leader, the Archbishop, we are grateful to the Church,” he said characteristically.
“The Church with a different reason and credibility to its own flock entered in front of cooperation with the government” added Ms. Bakoyannis, explaining that “anything that is inapplicable, weakens the decision itself”
According to her, the government could not impose it for practical reasons, while she estimated that with the pressure that will exist, a part of the faithful will be convinced.
“Of those who refuse the vaccine, 50% do not come close. However, there is also 50% who are afraid “, pointed out Ms. Bakoyannis, comparing the fear that some people feel with the fear that she feels about the earthquake and the cockroaches. “There is logic (fear) and irrationality,” he noted meaningfully.
Asked if the obligation should be extended, he replied that we should try by persuasion, explaining that in the obligation you have exhausted your limits.
In fact, he agreed with the proposal of Nikos Filis to expire the vaccination certificate after six months, describing it as a good and constructive proposal, while he invited him to go to any cafe and square to convince for the first and third installment.
Referring to Alexis Tsipras, Ms. Bakoyannis described his attitude as disappointing. As he stated, the opposition need makes him weaken a Committee of Scientists, although – as he said – which has been in favor of vaccination, while according to her, the opposite should be done.
On the issue of Greek-Turkish, the former minister said that Erdogan lowered the tone after the meeting with the American president, pointing out that no one can know how long this will last.
“That is why Greece is moving forward with its defense shield and its international alliances and, above all, remains a monster of composure, such as Kyriakos Mitsotakis,” he stressed.
Regarding her state of health, Ms. Bakoyannis stated that “everything is fine, I am progressing and doing the treatments with optimism and everything will be fine”.
