“To be there and not be a hindrance in the matches of our athletes every day, and not remember them only when they manage to succeed,” Alexis Tsipras notes in his Instagram post about winning the gold medal in the 35 km walk. at the Antigoni Drysbiotis European Championship.

In his congratulatory message, the President of SYRIZA PS notes that “Antigoni Drisbiotis won gold in the 35 km walk yesterday. But reading her story today, I understand that she has already won many gold medals in her life.” In particular, he says, “she was excluded from the sponsorship program due to the “age criterion”. He retired from the sport for 8 years because he couldn’t make a living. He worked at the family tavern and then went to night training.”

Mr. Tsipras notes that “besides congratulating Antigoni at the time of her great success, her example is also a message to the state: to be there and not interfere with the games of our athletes every day, and not remember them only when they succeed.”
