Tassoulas: We condemn the obstruction of the Parliament delegation at the Polytechnic for the laying of a wreath

The Speaker of the Parliament, Konstantinos Tassoulas, speaking at the special session of the Plenary Session for the Anniversary of November 17, condemned the obstruction of the delegation of the Hellenic Parliament to lay a wreath at the Polytechnic.

Mr. Tassoulas described as “unhistorical and unacceptable” the protagonists of the group that prevented the parliamentary delegation from laying a wreath, noting that they are “unfortunately young people, but fortunately few”.

The Polytechnic, said the Speaker of Parliament, “is an important episode in the history of the country and is not a prize of any dragon, of any larger or smaller group claiming furiously from another group. At the moment, the image outside the main gate of the Polytechnic “The one that knocked down the tank of tyranny, is disgusting as it becomes a kind of face control and they argue about who is allowed and who is not allowed to enter a place of public worship”.

These attitudes, said Mr. Tassoulas, do not tarnish the timelessness of a top event, but tarnish our life, our daily life, our life and our optimism that we must finally overcome all that is holding us back and see the historical facts.

The Speaker of the Parliament stressed that “criticism of a Parliament is not to prevent its delegation from laying a wreath” and “criticism of a national delegation is not to insult it – because you do not insult it – you are insulting yourself, but to make it more worthy to be represented by even more worthy ones, and if you can, young people who challenge this regime, to help make it better and not to forcefully pretend that you can prevent it. ”

Referring to the protagonists of the episodes, he stated that this “dragon of 15-20 angry young people, today did not insult the Republic but themselves” and in their way “insulted the Greek people in the face of the representatives of the Parliament”, explaining that “the Democracy is the state in which the people define themselves “and” those who insult the national Parliament question the popular representation, the right, the ability and the intelligence of a people in a democracy to define themselves “.

The Polytechnic said the Speaker of Parliament “will determine us and will guide us in the continuous improvement of the democratic state”
