“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 various artists by name, including myself, stating more or less that I allegedly provided “rinse” to Golden Dawn and contributed to the Golden Dawn being legitimized in the consciousness of the In fact, in support of your allegations, you refer to my statements on Themos Anastasiadis’ ALL program, in the year 2012, and in your family style you asked yourself in which hole I am now seeking to hide in view of the broadcast 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 I support it, but because, in my opinion, we should not fear such formations, as only in this way can they to be treated effectively.
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 your non-election to the Greek Parliament in 2019, I sincerely hope that the court decision that was issued yesterday means the end of this organization. Even though 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 the “Yes” in the referendum of 2015, but also to win me, through my own recognizability and the attention that each reference to my name attracts, publicity for the benefit of your political personality and to hide behind the immunity that your position as a deputy gives you, you ” he fired me ”, immorally, collectively with other artists and his own – style and content completely different in relation to mine – you distorted my words in a vulgar way and in an obvious populist mood to create your own narrative about the person and my direction and finally you connected me with the Nazi formation of the Golden Dawn, affecting my personality and name, not only as an artist, but above all as a person and as a citizen with deep democratic convictions.
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 ”.
What Pavlos Polakis said in Parliament
Sakis Rouvas was outraged by the statements of the former SYRIZA minister in Parliament, where he spoke about artists who embellished, according to him, the Golden Dawn. “I wanted to know where Sakis Rouvas is hiding, who said” The Golden Dawn didn’t scare me at all. Are these the consequences of what is happening “? Where is Notis Sfakianakis hiding, who said that” I voted for the Golden Dawn “? 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 Golden Dawn events”? Where is Vertis hiding, who said “of the hundred that Golden Dawn will say, ten are good”? Or Plutarco, who said the slogans “extreme right, extreme left, they say them to scare people and not go to the Golden Dawn”? “Said Pavlos Polakis in his intervention in the Public Administration Committee.
“We must remember who then, who used the system like a long arm, not to turn to the left, the Nazis of the Golden Dawn, who from the musical and artistic firmament washed them in the eyes of the people,” he added.
