Fassoula’s letter to Vroutsis: “Liolios does not respect the rules of equality”

The “Basket First” faction, led by Panagioti Fasoula, with its announcement addressed to Yiannis Vroutsis, accuses the EEC administration of not respecting the rules of equality in view of the upcoming elections. “The silencing of our faction, the obstacles to communication with sports associations and the generally authoritarian attitudes in the most democratic area of ​​our society, that of sports, will not pass“, he complains.

The announcement of the faction of Panagiotis Fasoulas:

Mr. Vroutsis, ensure equality in the upcoming elections

The last thing we want and think basketball needs is constant complaints. We, as a faction and as individuals, want to oppose each other based on ideas, values ​​and programs, but unfortunately we are obliged to continue to denounce the administration of the EEC and personally its president Vangelis Liolios, because he does not respect the rules of equality and equality.

We have officially requested to be given the contact details of the unions and their representatives with the right to vote in the upcoming elections, in order to be able to communicate with them directly. The response we received was that we need to disclose the purpose for which we requested the contact details and our request will then be dealt with by the EEC legal department (which one?), which was made abundantly clear in our letter.

Our letter to the EEC began exactly like this:

Dear President,

Dear members of the Board of Directors,

The combination “Basket first” led by the elected to the Board of Directors. of the EEC, Panagioti Fasoula, wishes to communicate with the unions of our Federation”.

We know very well the “democratic views” of Vangelis Lioliou and we did not expect anything better. We call on the remaining members of the EEC Board to distance themselves, as silence is now complicity. We call on the Minister of Sports Mr. Vroutsis to intervene and ensure equality. The silencing of our faction, the barriers to communication with sports associations and the generally absolutist attitudes in the most democratic area of ​​our society, that of sports, will not pass.

It is incredibly hypocritical that any other member of the Board of Directors, or even the president (he has no more rights due to his position), but Panagiotis Fasoulas cannot communicate. It seems that the culture of the administration is that NOT all elected members have rights, but only those who belong to Mr. Lioliou’s combination.

They use their position to gain an advantage in the electoral process and this violates not only the existing legislation, but also the principles of a fair competition, the principle of equality in democratic processes. They are afraid of our communication, because they know that together we will talk about basketball, we will not arrange balloons that you will not see…

This message you are reading is proof of their failure. We continue with the aim of the final victory of the sport. You have the power to scare the already scared more.

By the way, I personally thank you for the dozens of messages, which we have answered and will continue to answer, as for us communication is an obligation.
