«Rather. we're going through a phase where everyone will be targeted and one by one we'll get a cosmetic adjective. You called (for Kainourgiou), George (Kapoutzidis) called, I called, who knows who else will call. I talked to George right after the interview, whom I admire and will support. We are facing an attack that is unprovoked, we cannot understand why it is happening. Why are people being targeted for their normal situations and what is normal? And who will define it?; We are all normal. I also want to remind you that George today re-enrolled in the Actors Guild, which is rallying. That's a message. The union will only get stronger and stronger.
Every day 50 to 60 applications are coming in which means that the union will become strong. As all unions should be, because that's the only way they become very strong. We are not interested in politics, we are interested in all of us being united right now to face an unprecedented situation.».
Ο Spyros Bibilas also spoke about Katerina Kainourgiou and Kougia's statements about the «presenter of Open»: «I know Katerina from a very young age because she is self-made and I respect the struggle she has made and that is why I am here to support her».
The president of the S.E.H. did not comment on the report about the new complaints filed with the prosecutor by Paschalis Tsarouchas, nor the report on the three felonies involving a well-known comic actor saying: «Confidentiality and secrecy does not allow me to go into details on this matter.».
Bibilas reiterated that: «The union is open. The door is open to any one person who wants to complain or vent their pain.» In reference to the Dimitris Lignadis said: «I never understood why he attacked me.» «For 40 years we had no contact in work or in life except a hello on opening nights. We got along, after 40 years after the dubbing on ERT with the Smurfs, now that we were trying to do the National Theatre collective agreement, which hasn't been signed yet because of what happened, because he was the appointed artistic director and I was the elected president of the Actors» Union. I have never seen Kouia either...«. »The first complaints about Dimitri didn't even come to the Union," he pointed out.
«When the Dimitris Lignadis gave the name of Eleni Papadakis in the hall of the National I came into conflict with our union then and I was on his side» said Spyros Bibilas and noted «all of Greece now are professional homosexuals and mediocre... this shows something» said the Spyros Bibilas.
