And once again, I’ll say it here to hear everywhere: down our hands from our ports. Our ports are fighting huge battles here, day and night. The commentary on modern smugglers, for those who tear the boats in the Aegean and drown and kill the world.

Following are the statements by MP Samos, Christodoulou Stefanadi and Tryphon Kontiza:

Christodoulos Stefanadis: “It is, indeed, a good and happy juncture today that we have a leading, literally, executive of our government, Mr. Vasilis Kikilia. I recall that, objectively, wherever he passed, he left an indelible footprint. Fire Brigade, Tourism, everywhere. He is a minister of works rather than the reasons or promises. I personally remind me of Ethnarch Karamanlis who – I say it cooperatively – what he said he did. What he said will do, as he did in the Fire Brigade with the AEGIS program, where the Fire Brigade changed completely, he took off and you will see it in the near future – I believe – will do the same in the Coast Guard and the Ministry of Shipping for the Greek seas. Greece is the nation of the sea – I remember – and therefore the right person in the right place. “

Kontizas Tryphon: “It is a great honor today at the Samos Port Authority, on the island of Samos, an island that is on the border of Greece and at the European border. The Coast Guard guards the Greek and European border, keeps Greek citizens, offers security, security both on the border and maritime transport and to any part of our competence. We save lives in the Aegean and we want to really strengthen, even more, as the Minister said, all the port, especially the acritical islands and the Greek islands. A great “thumbs up” and thank all the Coast Guard executives, Samos and all over Greece who guard borders and give their lives and their souls everyday. “
