The well-known singer Sakis Rouvas sent an out-of-court settlement to the former Deputy Minister of Health, Pavlos Polakis. The occasion was the statements made a few days ago by Mr. Polakis about the “laundering” – as he mentioned – made by artists at Chrysi Avgi and specifically by a previous position of Mr. Rouvas regarding the Nazi organization.
“A simple reading of my statements, which you relied on, is enough for any intelligent person to realize that I did not provide any support for Golden Dawn, as both my democratic views and my absolute commitment to the democratic institutions of our state, “he said. artist in the extrajudicial statement he sent to the former minister.
Sakis Rouvas’ extrajudicial statement is as follows:
“I was very surprised that I was informed yesterday, 7.10.2020, of their statements, which took place during the meeting of the Commission for Public Administration, Order and Justice of the Greek Parliament, on 6.10.2020, in relation to the long-awaited and long-awaited court decision for his trial Golden Dawn, during which you mentioned several artists by name, including myself, more or less alleging that I allegedly provided “rinse” to Golden Dawn and contributed to the Golden Dawn being legitimized in the consciousness of the world.
In fact, in support of his allegations, he referred to my statements on Themos Anastasiadis’ ALL program in 2012, and in his familiar style he asked himself, in what hole am I hiding now before the issuance of the decision? A simple reading of my statements, which you relied on, is enough for any intelligent person to realize that I did not provide any support to Golden Dawn, since both my democratic views and my absolute commitment to the institutions are known democratic institutions of our State, but also my unequivocal and my categorical opposition to any kind of violence and its devotees, wherever they come from. It was absolutely obvious from my statements that Golden Dawn did not scare me and it does not scare me, not because it supports it, but because, in my opinion, we should not be afraid of such formations as only in this way can they effectively dealt with.
As I said then in the Themos Anastasiadis show, the Golden Dawn boom was a consequence of the economic crisis our country was experiencing then and history will show, as it demonstrated, its course. After his non-election to the Greek Parliament in 2019, I sincerely hope that the court decision issued yesterday means the end of this organization.
Although the style and meaning of what I said was absolutely clear, you populist and motivated by passion and the obvious revenge on my face, which I suppose is due to my public stance in favor of Yes in the referendum of 2015, but also by order. to gain, through my own recognition and the attention that any reference to my name attracts, publicity for the benefit of his political personality and to hide behind the immunity that his office as a deputy grants him, in a looted manner, in conjunction with others artists and their own positions – style and content completely different in relation to mine -, vulgarly and with an obvious populist mood you distorted my words to create your own narrative about my face and my direction and in the end you connected me with the Nazi formation of Golden Dawn , affecting my personality and name, not only as a good artist, but mainly as a person and citizen with deep democratic beliefs.
With his statements he really exceeded all legitimate limits. It would not be an exaggeration to say that your own actions, and not mine, put our country’s democratic principles to the test. Already in this letter I strongly protest against the illegal, malicious, immoral and offensive behavior described above, about his previous false and defamatory statements, which were even reproduced by various media, about his attempt to identify me with the Nazi ideology of the Golden Dawn but also with artists who can embrace their ideals and I declare to them that their actions have caused me enormous moral damage.
Therefore, I CALL ON YOU, hereby, to atone for the insult against me and to immediately recall all the offensive, false and slanderous things you have said about me. It goes without saying that in any other case I will exercise all my rights to defend my honor and reputation, in accordance with the current provisions ”.
Declaration of Polaki that set “fire”
The controversial statement was made by Pavlos Polakis in a parliamentary commission, a day before the announcement of the Chrysi Avgi court decision.
The SYRIZA MP expressed the hope “that tomorrow Greek justice will stand on its own. It will put the Nazis, the junta supporters, the murderers where they deserve, in prison for life,” but added that ” I can’t resist the temptation not to think about some artists, who also contributed at that time to the whitewashing of the Golden Dawn and its legitimacy in the eyes of the rest of the world. What hole are they hiding in?
I mean, I wanted to know where he would be hiding – well known artists – where Sakis Rouvas would be hiding, who said “The Golden Dawn didn’t scare me at all. “These are the consequences of what is happening.” Where is Notis Sfakianakis, who said that “I voted for the Golden Dawn”, hide? Where is Petros Gaitanos hiding, who said “I like the tsaboukas of the Golden Dawn”? Where is Sabrina hiding, who said “I support Notis and Steve Giatzoglou who attended the Golden Dawn events”? Where will Vertis hide, who said that “of the 100 that Golden Dawn will say, 10 are good”? Or Plutarco, who used to say the slogans “extreme right, extreme left, they say them to scare people and not go to the Golden Dawn”?
Where will everyone hide tomorrow? I say this because you have to remember who then, when they used the system as a long arm so that their leftist Nazi from Golden Dawn would not become, who from the musical and artistic firmament washed them in the eyes of the world. “
