Reasons why he seriously considers the possibility of participating tomorrow in his procession of exodus former King Constantine in the Metropolitanate of Athens,” the New Democracy MP describes in a social media post: George Koumoutsakos.

Mr. Koumoutsakos notes that “for Greece, the institution of monarchy after the 1974 referendum belongs to History and is judged by History. The Hellenic Republic, the 3rd Hellenic Republic is firm, strong and unshakable. He is not threatened by the exodus of the ex-king, as he is, and would not be if this were done with the honors of the head of state. What threatens democracy is the division of the nation.”

As he points out, among other things, “Unfortunately, the left again did not recognize the moderate position of the centre-right. He again found reasons to attack our faction and the statement of Antonis Samaras, which is a serious and significant contribution to the provoked public debate.”

“I am not an adherent of the monarchy, which, after all, is a hermetically sealed chapter of our history. But on a human level, honoring the dead is for us Greeks an integral part of our culture, values ​​and traditions. From this purely human point of view, I seriously consider going to the cathedral tomorrow. And I think of it even more as a small personal response to the narrow-mindedness of the left, which will never recognize the difficult decisions to secure national unity that the Greek centre-right is consistently and courageously making,” emphasizes Mr. Komoutsakos.

“WHY WILL I ATTEND TOMORROW AT THE FUNERAL OF KING THEOS?

For Greece, the institution of monarchy after the 1974 referendum belongs to History and is evaluated by History.

The Hellenic Republic, the 3rd Hellenic Republic is firm, strong and unshakable. He is not threatened by the exodus of the ex-king, as he is, and would not be if this were done with the honors of the head of state.

What threatens democracy is the division of the nation.

And I am sure that the last thing the late former king would have wanted was for his death to become a field for the splitting confrontation of the nation.

And it is this blessing of unity that the difficult decision that the Government has wisely taken wants to protect.

Unfortunately, once again the left did not recognize the moderate position of the centre-right. He again found reasons to attack our faction and the statement of Antonis Samaras, which is a serious and significant contribution to the provoked public debate.

Let’s just think of the image of division that will spread throughout the world, showing a large part of the Greek people paying tribute and another immensely demonstrating and blaming “others”…

Like any historical figure, the late former king had both good and bad sides. Positive and negative political views.

I am not an adherent of the monarchy, which, after all, is a hermetically sealed chapter of our history.

But on a human level, honoring the dead is for us Greeks an integral part of our culture, values ​​and traditions.

From this purely human point of view, I seriously consider going to the cathedral tomorrow. And I think of it even more as a small personal response to the narrow-mindedness of the left, which will never recognize the difficult decisions to secure national unity that the Greek centre-right has consistently and courageously made.”
