“After yesterday’s homophobic, racist rant by Achillea Beu against the president of SYRIZA-PS, which was broadcast live throughout Greece, Stefanos Kasselakis called, as of last night, for the Justice to intervene” says today’s SYRIZA-Progressive announcement Alliance .

The announcement continues:

“Today the director of the Office of the president of SYRIZA-PS contacted the Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court and received the information that all the required procedures have been initiated, regarding offenses that fall under the anti-racism law.

We are watching with interest the silence of the government and personally of Mr. Mitsotakis in the face of the unprecedented homophobic attack received by the leader of the Official Opposition.

Perhaps, of course, this silence is explained by the strong presence of active ministers from Mr. Mitsotakis’ close circle, such as Mr. Triandopoulos, in the pre-election activities of Mr. Beu, the candidate they otherwise “do not support”.

We expect a clear position from Mr. Mitsotakis. The representative of the party, Dora Avgeri, called on the government to condemn the Beu atrocities. We hope that the “mud” of Volos does not reach the Maximos Palace».
