“Social justice begins with the future of our society, with our children,” stressed Mr Alexis Haritsis during his visit together with the MPs of the New Left parliamentary group, Efi Ahtsioglou and Nasos Iliopoulos, in the SOS Children’s Village in Vari.

The head of K.O. of the New Left, said in a statement that they visited the SOS children’s villages, to wish happy holidays to the children and to the entire community of people “who carry out a pioneering and socially necessary project”. He emphasized that “the sensitive field of child protection and care requires experience, scientific understanding and an open, modern, look guided by the rights of the child and its best interest”. He thanked them for this and recalled their contribution to the creation and implementation of Law 4538 of 2018 on fostering and adoption. “We are happy, because this law has now affected all child protection agencies in our country. Every child has the right to grow up in a family environment with safety, love, respect and care”, he said, noting that “the New Left will give all its strength to this goal. Because social justice starts with the future of our society. From our children.”

The three MPs of the New Left exchanged wishes with children hosted in the structure (to whom they also distributed gifts) with the teacher and the caregiver and had the opportunity to discuss with them. As reported by K.O. sources. New Left, the talk had it all. From football and the confrontation… Ronaldo or Messi, the daily life of the children, to the meetings of the Parliament, which they described as “a bit boring”. However, they gladly accepted the invitation of Alexis Haritsis to visit and take a tour of the Parliament.

Alexis Charitsis, Efi Ahtsioglou and Nasos Iliopoulos were informed by the president of SOS Children’s Villages and the director of Advocacy, Mr. Antonis Alakiotis and Stergios Sifnios, for the problems, needs and improvements that must be made in the existing framework, with the MPs of the New Left pledging to contribute and bring these issues to the Parliament.
