According to the column, former Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis held a telephone conversation with Prince Nikolaos, with whom he maintains good relations, and expressed condolences to the entire former royal family on the death of Constantine II.

No ban

Since there is a lot of discussion about which “blue people” will come to the funeral of the former king on Monday, I must tell you that Maximou did not issue any prohibitions, and it mainly depends on the free will of deputies and ministers. they are coming.

Laconia

As for the persons who will be “present”, the information about 10-15 “blue” deputies is just rumors, not confirmed by the report. A typical example is Thanasis Davakis, who will not be present as he will be in Areopolis where the event with General Floros will take place. And I mean Davakis, because, apart from his family tradition, he is elected in the county of Laconia, which was the only county that in 1974 so explicitly voted for the monarchy, with a percentage close to 60%. The other was the Rhodopes, but with a marginal percentage of 50.5%.

Mission

Another area that had a very high percentage of royalties in 1974 was Salamina—Ayanteio recorded the highest percentage in the country—due to the island’s long tradition with the Royal Navy. On Thursday, MPs Dimitris Markopoulos and Yiannis Tragakis were in Salamis to divide the local North Dakota parliament. and both caused local outrage over the treatment of the former’s funeral.

southern front

As vice-president of the European Affairs Committee, Council member N.D. D.Kairidis invited to Athens the presidency of the relevant committee of Spain, which will preside over the EU. in the second half of 2023. After the visit of six Spanish parliamentarians, Cairides will be in Rome as a guest of the relevant committee of the Italian Parliament and Senate, continuing his efforts to keep the front of the South warm.

“Interpreter”

One of the most scathing statements in history about the government’s funeral decision was made in parliament at the well, where a former party MP exclaimed: “The government cannot be represented by a deputy official”, referring to Lina Mendoni and the fact that he is not political activist, and a native of the administrative apparatus of the ministry, since before becoming a minister, he was a secretary for several years. To gild the pill, he, of course, added that he had great respect for the minister and her work, but he called her … fat.
