Dimitris Biangis’ message
In a message regarding the Polytechnic anniversary, the Corfu Kinal MP Dimitris Biangis said: “The message of the Polytechnic uprising is always ‘timeless’ and ‘relevant’, especially today that the pandemic threatens everything in our lives. It is everyone’s duty to preserve the democratic values in these times of uncertainty. It is our moral obligation to bring back the ‘collective action and responsibility’ against the enemy that threatens ‘humanity’ today. It is everyone's responsibility to protect ‘individual rights’. It is our duty to fight with unity, faith and hope for our ‘Freedom’. The struggle for ‘Democracy’ never stops; it is ‘constant’, ‘continuous’ and ‘recurring’.
