Ms. Evert, according to the mayor, also expressed the desire to resign as city councilor.
In a statement, Mr. Bakoyannis stressed that he respects Ms. Evert but the issue “is not personal but political” and adds:
“With the KKE we are separated by an ideological abyss and yesterday’s mobilization, at a time when the pandemic is sweeping the country and the health system is being put to the test, was an unacceptable act of political irresponsibility and was treated as such by the vast majority of society. In a democracy, however, no matter how much we disagree, we must coexist. Especially when we are all called to overcome a pandemic. Of course, contradictions, even political conflicts, are not only necessary but also legitimate. But they are carried out, as harshly as necessary, on programs, positions, and ideas. In this context, there are descriptions that do not fit the political perception of this municipal authority ”.
