The government spokesman was absolutely clear regarding this year's celebration of the anniversary of the Polytechnic, during the briefing of political editors.
Petsas noted that the government-police operational plan will be implemented to the hilt, while he pointed out that anyone who attempts to disturb the order will be isolated by the citizens themselves.
He added that the anniversary of the Polytechnic University is a great celebration of democracy, but this year, due to the pandemic, it cannot be celebrated as usual. «As the 25η March and the October 28 we have found a way to celebrate, this will also be the case for the anniversary of the Polytechnic University», Mr.Petsas stressed, while clarifying that the gatherings and marches in the midst of the lockdown are untimely.
«They would give the wrong message and cause Rupture in unanimity which is necessary to comply with the measures to get out of the lockdown as planned. No one has the right calling on citizens to disobey public health protection measures. And no one can on the one hand call for «quarantine» and on the other hand offer cover to reactionary deniers of the unprecedented situation we live in. In a march, the only one who will celebrate is the coronavirus. Let us all show responsibility at the most critical hour of the battle,» he added.
