Mitsotakis: “We will root out hooliganism – When the State wants, it can”

The issue of hooliganism was discussed on the ALPHA show “Sabbatokyriako” with Nikos Manesis Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The prime minister referred to the commitment he made with a great sense of responsibility to eradicate this scourge, stressing that families have returned to the stadiums. At the same time, he said that when the state wants, can implement the changes.

“We will eradicate this scourge. It was a commitment that I accepted with a great sense of responsibility, especially after the tragic murder of Giorgos Lyggeridis. I am glad that a very thorough job was done by EL.AS. and justice has in its hands a rich investigative material. I am sure that he will get where he needs to be, this is not my job, but justice. Everyone understands that we mean what we say.

Do you remember when we closed the stadiums what we heard, we reopened them with cameras, with an electronic, individual ticket and with a different image than before. When the State wants, it can. Sport is a celebration, we see it more in basketball, in the Euroleague. We are starting to see it in football too, we are seeing families in the stadiums. I am optimistic that we will end the scourge of hooliganism“, were, characteristically, the words of the prime minister.
