Romiosini – soul of Greece.
With reference to the death of the leading creator Mikis Theodorakis, the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis began his introductory speech at the meeting of the Council of Ministers, while he declared three days of mourning from today.
“Unfortunately, our today’s meeting is overshadowed by very sad news: Mikis Theodorakis is now passing into eternity. “His voice was silenced and with him the whole of Hellenism was silenced,” the prime minister initially said.
He stressed: “As it was written about Palamas, ‘we had all forgotten that he is mortal’. However, he leaves us a legacy of his songs, his political action, but also his national contribution at critical moments.
Romiosini is crying today.
And for this reason, and with a decision of the government, a three-day national mourning is declared from today.
As you know, I had the honor of knowing him for many years and relatively recently I had even visited him. His advice has always been valuable to me, especially those concerning the unity of our people and overcoming the dividing lines.
I believe that the best honor for this global Greek will be for us, with our daily work, to put into practice this very message of his. Mikis is our History and we must continue it as he would like “.
