The sad images everyone saw tonight in Athens must be the last such ones, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday evening, following incidents during a rally to protest police violence in the southern suburb of Nea Smirni, ANA reports.
The threatened life of a young policeman should also awaken us, the premier said in a statement. “I particularly address myself to our young people, who are meant to create, not to destroy. Blind fury leads nowhere,” Mitsotakis said.
Political parties also responded to the violence by condemning the injury of a policeman and underlining the peaceful nature of the demonstration.
