Today is a day of remembrance for the heroes of ’21, but also a day to remind us of our duty to show ourselves worthy of them, emphasizes the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in a post on Twitter on the occasion of today’s national anniversary.

Specifically, Mr. Mitsotakis mentions in his post

“Today is a day of remembrance and honor for the heroes who fought for the freedom of our country. But also a day that reminds us of our duty to show ourselves worthy of their heritage, handing over to the new generation a stronger homeland. Happy birthday our Greece”.

Earlier today, during his statements after the end of the military parade, Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated that this year’s celebration of national independence and the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary is being held in the shadow of a great tragedy in Tempi.
