The admission that the fan card and the electronic monitoring system are not observed in all stadiums was made by the George Mavrotas in his statements on the First Program of the Greek Radio. THE Secretary General of Sports pointed out the need to change this, while regarding the new measures he argued that an attempt would be made with the new legislation to close gaps regarding the operation of fan clubs.

The secretary general At the same time, he stressed the need for a collective effort, “of a pan-army”, as he characteristically stated, “… in order to reject these elements from both sports and the fan movement”

“After the murder of Alkis, the police acted drastically and in a timely manner and we had the results of the arrests very quickly, showing that there is clearly the political will, on the occasion of this tragic incident and in the memory of an unfortunate young man, to at least be able to overcome some chronic problems that exist. The steps from now on are very specific “, said the Secretary General and continued the new measures:

“The legal framework existed, both for the movements of the fans and for the preparations for the games. However, many of these actions do not take place during the games, they take place in fights, in death appointments, in a “safari” of death, as it was what cost Alkis his life, and we have to face them because many times sports , generally the fan movement, become the “ferezes” or the alibi for criminal activities. Various gangs that through the links, the fans, can do other things.

The problem can not be tackled by the clubs and the teams alone, it takes a collective effort, a pan-army, to reject these elements from both the sport and the fan movement. In this direction is the tightening of the conditions for the sports clubs and the tightening in points of the penal code and in the legal framework that will come to the Parliament for the violence in the stadiums and in the information network that will be developed through international conventions, such as this one. for the safety of spectators at sporting events. “All of these are arrows in a quiver of the State, which aims to reduce as much as possible this situation in general where there is an athletic tone to such criminal behaviors.”

George Mavrotas underlined that the register of members should be kept, who the members are, the head of the club, while he should have the consent of the team that will be renewed.

“Just now we will try to close any cracks that existed, which some people were exploiting and creating illegal fan clubs. “Normally in clubs we should find posters, autographs, balls, banners and not pens, knives, iron fists and Molotov cocktails.” added and concluded after admitting that the fan card and the closed circuit monitor do not apply everywhere:

“These gaps will be filled by the legislation, with the bill that will come to Parliament in the next two weeks. I think that in this gloomy climate, there is no one who will not mobilize to deal with this problem, which hurts the teams as well, a monster that grows up and in the end eats whoever is next to it. “concluded.
