In a post on social media (facebook and twitter), the President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou made reference to the anniversary of the heroic Exodus of Missolonghi, emphasising the insurmountable sacrifice and the constant lesson of patriotism that the heroic act conveyed. As the President points out, the bravery of our “free besieged” fills us with pride and is a constant compass of national self-consciousness.

In a time of pandemic, Greece needs volunteer actions that support all of society and must surround its weakest members with the care and help they need, President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou said in a message posted on her personal Facebook page on Tuesday. The country and the world were experiencing a difficult and unprecedented ordeal, she added, but once it was left behind "we will have rebuilt society on the basis of empathy, love of others and shared responsibility".

The message of the President of the Hellenic Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, was on the occasion of the National Anniversary of March 25th, with references as expected to the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the “asymmetric threat” that Greece is facing at the present time on the Greek-Turkish border in Evros.
