The reading of yesterday’s announcement of the Permanent Holy Synod, by its president NIKIS, Dimitris Natsios, shortly before the floor of the plenary session, during the discussion of the bill on the postal vote, he provoked the reaction of the parliamentary representative of PASOK, Michael Katrinis.

“The initiative of its president VICTORYby Mr. Natsios, to read it announcement of the Permanent Holy Synod, here in the room, is not only excessive but also unacceptable. It is an attempt by a party and a person to appropriate the Church of Greece in this space, the space of the parliament, which is a space for dialogue, a space for exchanging arguments, a political space that belongs to all Greeks. We should be particularly careful, because the church, orthodoxy and faith, it is not the prerogative of some, nor do we assign it to some in this hall, and neither, I believe, does the church itself consider itself to be represented through a political space for a specific issue. “Well, in this space for the exchange of arguments that belongs to the Greek people, when we position ourselves, we should understand where we are,” said Michalis Katrinis.
