With a sharp statement on his Facebook profile, the well-known model and actress, takes a stand for the events of the last few days, with the police violence crescendo on Sunday, 07/03, in Nea Smyrni, and the heavy injury to a police officer, in the unprecedented incidents that followed the march condemning police violence by residents and collectives two days later in the same place.
Yannis Spaliaras, criticizes the «two measures and two stations» policy of the government and personally of Mr Mitsotakis, who, while talking about the need for unity, is himself divisive, rushing to condemn only the second incident and keeping «silence» about the first.
The well-known celebrity and former basketball player, speaks of «expendable» police officers, who are sent like «sheep to the slaughter» by their superiors in the arena, without an operational plan and for targeting youth collectively for all the bad things.
He concludes with a unifying call to all Greeks, since we are all human beings «and we have a mother», to unite and «to stop we are killing each other, because I have the feeling that we are being played like puppets...»

What's up, guys? I see cops beating up civilians and civilians beating up cops?; And our prime minister comes out and says it's the fault of the young people and the opposition! Really? Very convenient! You who are the government have no responsibility for this chaos?; You say you won't let anyone divide us, but Since you are invisible on the first day in the beating of the citizen and come out the next day to unilaterally condemn the violence against the police officer, are you not dividing us yourself?; So why should we be awakened by the beating of the police officer and not the citizen?;
You say, the opposition (others... true stories of a political level) arrives and invites the people, ok let's accept it... what did you do to avoid the incidents?; Since we were bombarded by the media the previous day with the image of the policeman beating the citizen and shouting I'm in pain, didn't you think that some rioters or whatever would want to get revenge?; How do we send police officers like sheep to the slaughter? What are they, expendable? With what planning and strategy did they go there?;
We leave our colleague at the mercy of the raging crowd, and then beat up anyone we find on the street, even girls, to get revenge?; Anyone who sees a man getting beaten up, whether he is a citizen or a policeman, and shouts well done to him, has no place in our democracy... and a policeman, he is a man and has a mother, I don't care if he is a policeman or a police officer or whatever they call them, he is a man...
I have voted for PASOK, SYRIZA and New Democracy, and I have no political agenda, I just can't stand to see Greeks beating up Greeks ...
Greeks and Greeks, my fellow citizens, police officers, leftists, rightists, centrists, let's not kill each other because I have the feeling we're being played like puppets...
