“This mourning, after the death of Giorgos Lyggeridis, must be turned into an act both for the one who “left” and for those who remain behind. We must review the entire legal regime surrounding the protection of victims of violence and terrorism,” said the Minister of Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidis, during a conference organized in the morning by the Panhellenic Federation of Police Employees in memory of the deceased police officer.

The minister emphasized that “for those who leave in this unjust way, there is the rendering of justice, as provided by the Republic and our Constitution. George will be with us every day, to remind us how precious human life is and how hateful, murderous and destructive violence is for every society” and added that:

“For those who remain, George’s parents, the parents of every victim, I want to emphasize that they will not be alone. The Greek Police, but also the whole of Greece, will be by your side, so that every day we can fight, fight and fight not only as a society, but also as a Police, to fight crime”.
