Shortly after the formalization of the decision to trial 140 people for “a criminal organization in Rentis, which is also attributed to the assassination of George Liggeridis, including the members of the PAE administration. Olympicincluding the president and his owner, the Vangelis Marinakis issued a written statement.
In this the president of the Red and white PAE is attacking to the government and personally to the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis. States that ‘It’s under panic’while adding that “This is not the first time that politically and financial interests have been trying to host me hostage.”. In it he concludes by expressing confidence that “They will fail again.”
The statement by Vangelis Marinakis states in detail…
Under the panic regime, the prime minister along with the scandalously benefited and dependent From Mitsotaki Midian crutches, They try to blackmail me and put me hostage, tooling justice once again.
This is a coordinated attempt at me, but hopeless. Is not, After allthe first time this has been attempted. The same has been unsuccessfully tried in the past political and financial interests through set up assumptions and categories who fell with a frustration. The elements are overwhelmingly and demonstrate that The first victim in this case is justice itself and its institutions.
The obvious goal is me and Olympiacos. But what they are really seeking is to hurt the freedom of the press, the independence of the media, and ultimately the democracy itself. Authorities non -negotiable for the media listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, ALTER EGO Media.
Criticism and control of power, the primary role of the press, The revelations of scandal and corruption prevailing in the leadership of today’s government, apparently cannot be tolerated And they are not forgiven by Maximus.
I walk on a different path from the government’s venues and I will insist on moving to him regardless of honor. I choose to follow the words of Nikos Kazantzakis: “Tell the truth and whatever it takes! Never admit to lie. Anyone who lies is a slave. A free man always tells the truth. ”
I absolutely realize how much my choice is bothered by a prime minister and a government who feels that they are losing power and popular legitimacy, They slide into a situation that is reminiscent of – more and more – totalitarian regime.
I will not become a co -operator. I will remain against government practices that led the country to the last position among EU states, the global index of freedom of the press, and They shaken the trust of the Greek people in the institution of justice. It is also no coincidence that within society there is a perception that the government is dominant circumvented the independence of justice In a series of cases, from the espionageuntil the Tempi crime, In the latter without a trace of respect for the victims and their families. And all this happens in a country located in penultimate position in the European Unionin terms of GDP per capita.
The message I send is one and clear: I am not afraid, I do not blackmail, I do not interfere with, I do not back down. The truth will shine again. Democracy will prevail. In the end we will be (as always) winners.
