[01] Pavlopoulos: Our national obligation for the defence of Democracy
is today more imperative than ever
Our national obligation for the defence of Democracy is today more
imperative than ever because of the insidious powers striving to break
down the democratic institutions culminating in the Nazi remnants,
that wake up the nightmares of World War II, Greek President Prokopios
Pavlopoulos on Thursday said on the occasion of the 50 years since the
1967 coup d'état.
"The Greeks must not forget ... that Greece was the cradle of Democracy,
so we must constantly behave as guardians of the irreplaceable
institutional and political good, which by its very nature is fragile,"
he stressed.
Pavlopoulos also spoke of the victims of the "ruthless coup d'état of
April 21, 1967" and said that "those who resisted and were tortured,
defending the Democracy, must always be honoured."
