- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The Greek revolution of 1821 was the result of European and Greek Enlightenment and a carrier of modern values of freedom with social justice, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in his message ahead of the Greek Independence Day on Friday.
“In today's struggle in defense of universal values of humanity, volunteerism and solidarity especially in conditions of an unprecedented economic crisis, the people demonstrate strength, dignity, pride and faith in their strength,” Tsipras noted.
“The next page of our history belongs to a new Greece, free from the traumas of the economic crisis and the guardianship of lenders, a model of democracy, social solidarity and culture for the whole of Europe,” he added.
