Lina Mendoni insists that there are no official complaints against the director. Elena Akrita demands his resignation. “The fight was not lost” comments Spyros Bibilas
Yesterday’s wave of reactions both on the internet and in politics provoked resignation of Dimitris Lignadis from the position of artistic director of the National Theater, under the weight of the complaints against him.
The information about the resignation was denied a few days ago by the Minister of Culture and himself, who in his letter to Lina Mendoni assures that he finally made the decision to “protect the institution of the National” and exercise any legal rights “against those who they chose to sign me up. “
The resignation came after shocking testimony from a rape victim, as SYRIZA notes, expressing the hope “that it is a tragic coincidence.” MERA25 requested information on the real reason for the resignation of Mr. Lignadis.
“The fight these days was not lost. I feel sorry for the people who did not honor his position, ”Spyros Bibilas, president of the Association of Greek Actors, said in a post, who allegedly has more than ten written complaints about the actor and director.
Elena Akrita, who was the first to announce the news of her imminent resignation and was attacked by the Ministry of Culture, returned demanding the resignation of Ms. Mendoni. “When I wrote the news (2/2/21) Mendoni attacked me with his well-known arrogance and left hints of ‘convenience’. And he was not ashamed. Now it’s her turn to resign. “
For her part, the Minister of Culture does not seem willing to investigate the matter and insists that there are no official complaints. When asked about it in the morning in an interview on the radio station “THEMA 104.6”, he characteristically stated the following:
“He also mentions the reasons in his letter. You know, in this toxic climate everyone has resistance and we cannot ignore them. Each person has the stamina of how much they can accept and tolerate any rumor because I have to tell you that until today there are no complaints. brand. On the other hand, everyone has the freedom to defend themselves, whether by rumors or complaints. I repeat for the specific person, there have been no personal complaints “.
