Statement by the Minister of Health, Michalis Chrysochoidis regarding publications. In particular, in his statement, the minister emphasizes:

In my political journey, I have been faced many times with malicious comments or completely unsupported publications that brutally abuse the truth. Usually the indirect ones, knowing that the lie has “short legs” and that this type of so-called journalistic approach produces nothing but an insult to the journalistic function. In front of such a publication, which … discovers problems in my relations with Irini Agapidakis and also involves the well-known intellectual and writer Apostolos Doxiadis (!) I found myself yesterday. I have deemed it unworthy of comment as it is completely false and describes a completely fictional reality. I’m coming back though because some are still spreading whispers. To finish: my cooperation with the Deputy Minister of Health Irini Agapidakis was and is excellent, as well as with the two deputy ministers. As for the editor’s choice to involve Apostolos Doxiadis, a creator with whom I share a long and deep friendship and whose work I deeply respect, all I can say is that it is completely ridiculous.
