“After the announcement of the measures to limit fan violence, some of which were proposed by SYRIZA – PS and are judged as self-evident, we are entering the most difficult phase for the government, the demanding field of application and result, where everything and everyone is ultimately judged »say SYRIZA sources commenting on yesterday’s announcements by the government.

According to the same sources, “the government has a precedent for inefficiency in this particular area as well. Again and again he announces measures, and measures failures, which, unfortunately, involve lost human lives and tragedies. This must come to an end. We remind you of the murders of Alkis Kampanos and Michalis Katsouris, which actually took place outside the stadiums, which highlights the need for wider intervention in the issues of fan violence”.

“That fan violence is a complex problem is recognized by all sides, but from this very admission arises the need for conflicts with entrenched perceptions and interests, which in turn requires the planning of a holistic political intervention, after substantial discussion with the sports bodies and with the society”, add the sources of Koumoundourou.

“It is evident that, unfortunately, the government lacks the political will and stamina to do more than communicate. He invokes the doctrine of “Order and Security”, but in practice he has made a mess of them. Insecurity is widespread, crime is expanding and part of our youth seems defenseless against the worst influences”, they add.

“Government exercises on paper are not enough. The government, moreover, chose with the closed-door events to punish all athletes, sane fans, sports workers and healthy sports as a whole. SYRIZA-PS does not stop here. It will undertake all the initiatives required and in cooperation with all the competent bodies for the adoption of a comprehensive framework of measures that will address the core of the problem. No more bombastic statements, no more meetings upon meetings with supposedly sullen and troubled government officials, which lead nowhere. Citizens expect results. Only SYRIZA PS has the political will to face the problem”.
