Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in a post on social media, repeated, referring to today’s broad meeting on fan violence, that “this ‘so far’ we shout it’s time to give it real substance”.

The Prime Minister added: “Let’s build on the progress that has been made in recent years. But it is not enough. And that is why we are here and I want to thank UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin for his contribution.”

As Mr. Mitsotakis said, “our purpose is to activate not only the national, but also the European mechanisms on the front of preventing violence and punishing those who tolerate, favor and ultimately commit such incidents of violence” and concluded:

“Our reaction must be and will be comprehensive.

We owe it to the memory of Michalis, to the memory of Alkis, other victims, but above all we also owe it to the millions of fans. Of the pure fans who love football, who want to go to the stadium with their children, with their families, for whom sports, and especially football, are a source of joy, they are a source of fun. And these goals that we set together, we pledge to achieve them.”
