The insulting banner that was posted in “Kl. Vikelides”.
His own characteristic answer was also given by Nikos Gavalaswith the Piraeus executive contrasting the actions in his memory Elk but also their names victims of Thira 7.
In detail, the post of Nikos Gavalas:
An internal struggle preceded… Do not let the temper prevail! Let the anger not overshadow the good that the majority of our society represents. Unfortunately, often a small minority makes noise, which sometimes sets the rules of the game. This happened on the night of Agios Gregorios, where before the cross of the rematch of “Kleanthis Vikelidis” two actions unfolded to do the obvious, to honor the memory of Alkis.
Initially, together with (May 19, while Alkis was also) our football player, Konstantinos Chrysopoulos, we escorted three blind people into the playing field to reach the monument of Alkis. We traveled together with the ten-time Paralympian, Charalambos Taiganidis (he was a swimmer of Aris and Olympiacos), Christos Koromilas with world honors in the open sea swimming competitions, who is a member of the Greek Lighthouse for the Blind and Stratis Englesos, who is an executive of Hellenic National Football Team for the Blind. They were guided by guide dogs for the blind, these wonderful creatures. Afterwards, the football players of the two teams entered the field wearing t-shirts with a message for Alkis.
This very day was chosen by “people” who live among us, to slander in a mean way, what is most sacred to each of us. Despite our repeated appeals, the EPO observer as well as the television observer allowed, for two whole hours, this ugliness to enter homes through the television broadcast. Trust us, that’s the kindest description.
In response, we feel the need to recall the names of the 21 victims of Gate 7, as February 8 marks 42 years since the tragedy on the steps of the old Karaiskakis Stadium. Losses their mothers never got over. As he will never come to terms with the loss of Alkis, his tragic mother figure.
Panagiotis Toumanidis (14 years old), Kostas Sklavounis (16 years old), Ilias Panagoulis (17 years old), Gerasimos Amitsis (18 years old), Yiannis Kanellopoulos (18 years old), Spyros Leonidakis (18 years old), Yiannis Spiliopoulos (19 years old), Nikos Philos (age 19), Yannis Dialynas (age 20), Efstratios Loupos (age 20), Vassilis Machas (age 20), Michalis Kostopoulos (age 21), Zografoula Hairatidou (age 23), Spyros Andriotis (age 24), Kostas Karanikolas (26 years old), Michalis Markou (27 years old), Kostas Bilas (28 years old), Anastasios Pitsolis (30 years old), Christos Hatzigeorgiou (34 years old), Antonis Kouroupakis (34 years old), Dimitris Adamopoulos (40 years old).
In memory of these people, let’s try to stop this ugliness and let the voice of the many in our society prevail.
