Kyriakos Kyriakos: “Dismissals and horizontal punishments are not a compliment to the Hellenic Republic”
PAOK Vice President Kyriakos Kyriakos has responded to reports that the government is considering closing stadiums as a measure to combat fan violence.
What was reported to be among the measures the Greek government is expected to announce on Monday (December 11) to combat violence in stadiums sparked a reaction from PAOK Vice President Kyriakos Kyriakos.
“If that doesn’t work, then we’d better hold our noses until we drop!” Once again, we have come to actions through clichés and representations of ideas that have been tried and failed multiple times (if the information is out there). from yesterday).
The main problem is that the “hard-cores” have found a euphemism to describe the problem: “fan violence,” they call it, and consider it a violence with different characteristics.
Different from bullying in schools, different from the daily femicides, different from the atrocities we hear about every day, especially in the last decade.
It is an insult to the memory of the children who died for the state to assume that the main reason they did not survive was that the games were played with humans.
It is an admission of defeat by a Western state to shut down the most popular entertainment of 99.8% of fans because it cannot prevent or suppress the criminal activity of 0.2%.
And it is also the greatest hypocrisy to announce severe punishments two days after the release of those arrested with batons and batons, while failing to find and arrest ax-wielding perpetrators in the center of Thessaloniki.
And kudos to the luminaries who suggested curbing sidewalk violence by closing the stands.
I propose to close all schools in the country as there have been cases of bullying in some cases. To ban marriages to prevent another femicide, and to hold a Panhellenic Conference of… catechists to hear proposals against drug smuggling.
The dismissal and horizontal punishments of citizens for the crimes of a few that the state cannot prevent or suppress, becoming another communicative coping with a tragic event, are not exactly a compliment to the Hellenic Republic.”he says in his post.
