Petsas: Democracy vindicated by court rulling on Golden Dawn

Referring to democracy, Petsas said that "we are one day after the historic Court of Appeals' decision that Golden Dawn (Chryssi Avghi) was a operating as a criminal organisation. A request tabled by our government to the Supreme Court (Areios Paghos) after the murder of Pavlos Fyssas in September 2013 is vindicated but most of all democracy is vindicated with the decision of the court on Golden Dawn. As Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said, a traumatic cycle for the country's public life is closing. Fortunately, its political dimension have already been judged by the democratic victory that expelled the nazi formation from the Greek parliament.

Afterwards, Petsas referred to the support of the most vulnerable groups in society against the repercussions of the pandemic, adding that Mitsotakis ordered a 300 million euro increase of the funds of the Benefits and Social Solidarity Organisation to pay subsidies, such as the minimum guaranteed income, the childrens' benefit and the ousing subsidy.
