As it was announced on Sunday that the monument of the unknown soldier would move on to the protection of the Ministry of National Defense and the safeguarding of the class will remain solely to the Greek Police’s jurisdiction in the opposition beyond that they reacted strongly. The intervention at this time was considered to be a “gift” to minority parties. They interpreted, in fact, several center -left executives that the move was the result of the “fatigue” that the New Democracy has suffered from the six -year stay in power. That is, he can no longer think clearly.
The minority welcomed the position of the President of the Republic, who at his meeting with his prime minister said: “To ask you to give time to the dialogue and, above all, to make this dialogue to be made as far as possible from current political news. The more objectively we see it, the clearer it will be how we all want this monument to be. “ Perhaps the government should have chosen to make this move a more neutral moment. When one could not link the arrangements to protect the space with the positive outcome of the request Panos Rucci for the exhumation of his son and the conduct of biochemical and toxicological examinations. Even the involvement of Nikos Dendiawhich appears as the dominant contender for the next day in the New Democracy, was not left unattended by the opposition. OR Milena Apostolaki Speaking to SKAI he mentioned: “Don’t tell me that the assignment to the Minister of National Defense was accidental, don’t you tell me that it is not related to the intra -party confrontation with K. Denty?”

THE Dimitris Koutsoubasalso from plenary he said that “The popular protest never offended the monument of the unknown soldier. On the contrary, you are the ones who offend it. “ At another wavelength the government moves with the George Floridis to report to SKAI: “It is the supreme monument of our nation. Is not allowed to be deceived by anything else. If we are dealing with a protest or say anything or to write anything or express about anything, thank God Greece and Athens has infinite spaces. “
In a few days in front of the unknown soldier’s monument will take place The established student parade. Will some attempt to erase the names of those who died in the Tempe accident? Respect for the dead and their relatives is a priority. In what one cannot disagree with is that the Monument It cannot be the subject of political purposes. And that when a protest is completed, even as sacred as the request of a father who lost his child, the space should return to the purpose for which he was created. That’s why movements from the state They have to be careful Especially at a time when political debate often goes beyond the limits and becomes toxic.
