01-11-16  Nikos Filis’ statement on interview of Archbishop Ieronymos

“On 28 October [national holiday] I heard the Archbishop on the island of Ai Stratis [Agios Efstratios] say that, “This is not a time for stubbornness and things that have wounded us” and that “problems should be resolved without passion”.

Today, I am informed that in an interview that will be broadcast tonight [Skai TV 11:15pm], he does not avoid temptation…

I do not propose to follow suit. I state that I support all that he said on Ai Stratis.

After all, the disagreement that has arisen is political and institutional, and not personal.”
