“It is truly a performance that, under the circumstances in which you’ve been prepared, is impressive,” the President noted as he received the team. “You are an example for all, and this is marked by our meeting at the Presidential Mansion,” he added.
On his part, the President of the Hellenic Paralympic Committee and the National Confederation of Peoples with Disabilities, Giorgos Foundoulakis, thanked Pavlopoulos for receiving the athletes.
