Minister selectively attacks police for injuries of left wing demonstrators, ignoring police brutality against ordinary citizens

It is the first time since the post-junta era that a Minister, whether Public Order or Citizen Protection, unleashes such an attack on subordinates trying to shake off her political responsibilities.

Of course, when the older citizens and young children were demonstrating against the Prespa agreement, at Presra or at TIF in Thessaloniki, hitting such people was obviously considered "normal" by the Minister.

More specifically, a brutal offensive against riot police officers was unleashed the Minister of Citizen Protection, Olga Gerovassilis, commenting on the incidents that resulted in the injury of KKE MP Giannis Delis and IOE member and PAME member Theodora Drimala.

Ms Gerovassilis has condemned as "unacceptable and politically dangerous the actions of some of the men of the MAT riot police units, who struck blindly assembled protesters."

Indeed, Mrs Gerovasillis stressed that "this kind of undemocratic practices of those who insist on not receiving the message of the times and showing a nostalgia for other, dark, eras are not tolerated.”

Mr. Delis and Mrs Drimala were transferred after their injury to the Evangelismos hospital.

Information says the MP will remain in the hospital as he suffered a burn on his hand and has respiratory problems. The teacher was subjected to a CAT scan and the necessary examinations, which showed that she is well and therefore can leave the hospital.

The present government one again shows its selective sensitivities on police brutality, as on many other issues, which is reserved for members of the ruling party, self-described anarchists, convicted terrorists and murderers, and leftists of any hue. Such sensitivities are not extended to anyone demonstrating for national issues, victims of crimes or immigrant violence, victims of state negligence, and in general anyone who is not a supporter of the government.
