The strong reaction of the spokesman of ND, Tasos Gaitani, was provoked by the unthinkable post of the SYRIZA MEP, Costas Arvanitis, who in his twitter post stated that “it is wrong at this moment for every Democratic citizen to side with one or the other justifying the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It is wrong at the moment for every Democratic citizen to side with one side or the other, at the moment we have to side with the citizen who eats the bombs on the head.

ND’s response was immediate, stating in a statement that at such critical times for Europe, humanity and our country, unity and seriousness are required.
“At the moment when we have Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, violation of its territorial integrity and violation of any rule of international law, SYRIZA MEP K. Arvanitis considers it” wrong “to take a stand. In other words, he asks us to be silent, equating the perpetrator with the victim “, ND points out.
He adds that the bombs do not fall on their own. Someone throws them. “And in parallel with what Mr. Arvanitis says, SYRIZA in its announcement does not talk about sanctions and the need for the international community to react to Russia’s attack,” the statement said.
He concludes that “obviously this is not the time for party confrontations. But there is no room for silence or equal distances. Greece is firmly against revisionism and border violation. It upholds the rules of international law and coordinates with its partners and allies for a joint response. ”
It is noted that Mr. Aravanitis’s post caused a number of negative comments on twitter.
