The government is showing a fist with Michalis Chrysochoidis using the word “ban” for the Polytechnic course for the first time in an official statement and then calling Dimitris Koutsoumbas and Giannis Varoufakis by phone, with the MERA25 secretary even complaining that the Minister Citizen Protection had previously announced in their conversation the detention of deputies.
Ultimatum for the ban
Until today, the government through its executives and himself Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis Although they described the prohibition of the Polytechnic course at a political level, they had not used the specific expression and suffice it to say that the government’s decision is that “the course will not be held.”
THE Michalis Chrysochoidis Today, after the strong attack yesterday by Mr. Mitsotakis on the secretary of the KKE and Giannis Varoufakis, that no one will be exempt from the “law”, and taking advantage of the scene of the MAT invasion of the Polytechnic and the apprehensions carried out by the police forces He continued: “This year the march is prohibited, the Police will apply the law strictly and everywhere.”
After these announcements, Mr. Chrysochoidis I contacted all political leaders following an order from Kyriakos Mitsotakis, where officially the purpose of the minister’s phone call was to inform party leaders about the time to lay a wreath at the Polytechnic by small delegations on Tuesday, as the space will remain closed and there will be a police presence.
In reality, however, this is an ultimatum from the government demanding political consensus or, as Mr Varoufakis complained yesterday, submission to government authoritarianism.
According to information, there was no dialogue in the communication that the Minister of Civil Protection had with Dimitris Koutsoumbas since the positions of the KKE are known and Perissos insists on what was said by Mr. Koutsoumbas in Parliament during his dispute with Mr. Mitsotakis. that “the ban will not pass.”
The mask will not turn into a muzzle
“Shame and disgrace for those who once again try to take advantage of the pandemic to impose a” silence “and for those who try to” turn “the mask necessary for life and health into a” muzzle “”, was the KKE comment. for today’s announcements Chrysochoidis.
On the contrary, the dialogue that Michalis Chrysochoidis with Varoufakis, while according to the MERA25 announcement, the minister announced the arrest of the party deputies who will try to march for the anniversary of the Polytechnic.
There are no different measures and weights.
In that spirit of government, George Gerapetritis, speaking with MEGA, although he admitted that in this case of the Polytechnic course the health measures of distancing and the mask would be observed, however he argued that the two political leaders will show “irresponsibility” if they insist on He argued that the government’s message continues to be that “the law will be implemented as it should be” and added that for politicians “there are no different measures and weights for citizens.”
It has not yet been formally banned.
It is worth noting, however, that although politically the statement of the competent minister Michalis Chrysochoidis on the ban announces the formal announcements of the Police, the ban is not formally valid as the basis of the law is the ban. Police Directorate that is in charge of the specific “meeting” area. In this case, the police announcements must be made no later than November 16.
In this case, the JMC for the current closure, which legally covers the validity of the restrictive measures, does not legally cover the prohibition or suspension of “gatherings” such as the Polytechnic course since such gatherings fall under Article 11 of the Constitution and in fact the current JMC makes clear Distinction for public meetings that indicates “subject to” article 11 of the Constitution and Law 4703/2020.
May all be disciplined
However, on a purely political level yesterday’s parliament backdrop Among political leaders it has moved as is and with the same sharpness and out of parliament, heralding the intensity of repression and polarization.
It is worth noting that SYRIZA is officially silent on today’s Chrysochoidis announcements and indeed SYRIZA MP and former Minister Dimitris Vitsas called for everyone to be disciplined.
“Everyone must be disciplined and perform symbolic activities on November 17,” he said, among other things, speaking in r / s “THEMA 104.6”. As Mr. Vitsas said, a member of your party will lay a wreath with a small delegation. However, he stressed that on that day any tension should be avoided, while directing his arrows against the government and personally at Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Michalis Chrysochoidis, saying that they are already cultivating tension.
From KINAL’s point of view, the weather is also similar, after all, Fofi Gennimata in Parliament was in favor of banning the march. Indicative is the statement of the representative of the parliamentary work of KINAL Spyros Karanikolas that “it is evident the obligation of the State not to allow anyone, on the occasion of the Polytechnic course and in these critical conditions, to commit a health crime against the society as a whole “No one is above the law.”
It is not evident the obligation of the State to allow anyone, on the occasion of the Polytechnic course and in these critical conditions, to commit a crime against health, to the detriment of society as a whole. No one is above the law. #Polytechnic # COVID-19

However, the current panorama on the one hand of the MAT invasion in Polytechnic, its evacuation and the fact that it resembles an armored fortress with police forces abroad, has led to complaints against the government that it is restoring conditions reminiscent of the 1973 junta. The relevant comment by Michalis Kritharidis, spokesman for MERA25, is indicative.
46 years after the fall of the dictatorship, Mr. Mitsotakis and Mr. Chrysochoidis send repressive forces to #Polytechnic just a few days before the historic anniversary and at the same time they prohibit “deciding and ordering” the course. https://t.co/M4MMUBxAnP

Image of shame for the SW
At the same time, the attitude of the ND deputy Konstantinos Bogdanou of being on the side of the MAT during its current invasion of the Polytechnic has provoked strong reactions, including advertising it on social networks and making statements about “alleged murderers with leftist ideologies”.
This year in the center of Athens will be protected law and order, public and private property, but above all public health and human life.

“The presence of the deputy Mr. Bogdanos as an animator of the police outside the Polytechnic is an image of shame for ND”, commented Pavlos Christidis, spokesman for KINAL, who, however, is in favor of banning the march and the celebrations of the event. of November 17.
Shame and disgrace
The KKE insists that the anniversary of the Polytechnic will be celebrated.
“At a time when the government’s criminal responsibilities are exposed daily for not shielding the public health system and taking actions in critical areas such as public transportation, workplaces, schools, the government insists on delirium for the Polytechnic. as a distraction, with the aim of transferring their own responsibilities to the people, who are fighting and observing all the necessary protection measures with the above. Even if you don’t point the finger at the people, the youth and the political parties.
The government is the one that did not celebrate this year on October 28 or other holidays. Mass organizations, political youth and parties celebrated, as every year: with events in schools, colleges, corridors, squares, streets, of course observing all the protection measures this year. Thus they will celebrate, as they know and as they have decided, the anniversary of the Polytechnic.
Shame and disgrace for those who once again try to take advantage of the pandemic to impose “silence” and for those who try to “turn” the mask necessary for life and health into a “muzzle”.

We decide and order
THE DAY25 ad state:
“At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the Minister of Citizen Protection, in the context of a telephone meeting of the party leaders (by order of the Prime Minister, as he said), called the Secretary of MERA25, Yanis Varoufakis, to ‘inform’ him on government decisions on Polytechnic Day.
Mr. Chrysochoidis announced to Mr. Varoufakis that the Polytechnic will be closed all day and that, if a small party delegation wants to deposit a wreath, it will be possible within a certain period of time at noon on Tuesday, after consultation with the Police. He concluded by repeating the government’s public declaration that “there will be no progress.”
Mr. Varoufakis responded to the Minister that MERA25, respecting the measures to protect citizens from the pandemic, has already invited its members not to participate in the march, but to be represented in it by a delegation of 9 members. ” , who will not take advantage of the opportunity “offered” to lay a wreath after an appointment with the Police. Instead, the seven deputies of the MEPA25 Attica Prefecture, the Central Committee Coordinator and a representative of the MEPA25 Youth –9 people in total – will walk the distances, and of course wearing masks, from the Polytechnic to the mark of the US Embassy MERA25’s rejection of the government’s “we decide and order”.
The police are here to arrest
Mr. Chrysochoidis replied that the march would be impossible since the Police would not close traffic, so Mr. Varoufakis replied that, in such a case, on 9 MERA25 he would simply walk on the sidewalk, keeping his distance, to the American. Embassy. At that time, the minister said that the Prosecutor’s Office and the Police will be there to arrest anyone who violates the ban.
Mr. Varoufakis thanked Mr. Chrysochoidis for the “briefing” and informed him in turn that, with what he heard, the importance of course 9 of the MEPA25 is confirmed as resistance to the constitutional deviation that the government attempted with the threat of detention of the parliamentarians, whose right to free movement is guaranteed by the Constitution. The minister did not agree, saying that the freedom of movement of the deputies refers to the exercise of their parliamentary functions. Mr. Varoufakis replied that it is a parliamentary task of the first order to protect civil liberties that are threatened by this government and the specific Minister of Civil Protection.
Mr. Chrysochoidis concluded that he simply wanted to inform Mr. Varoufakis and not argue. In turn, the MERA secretary25 thanked him for the telephone announcement of the arrest of the parliamentarians, which is equivalent to a preliminary announcement of circumvention of the Constitution.
MERA25 delivers in the face of the citizen crisis to the Minister of Citizen Protection and the Prime Minister who appointed him and mobilizes him ”.
