Today the whole world is going through difficult times. The raging virus has become a test for all of us. First of all, on self-discipline, responsibility and humanity.
From time immemorial, the Greeks have shown their unity in the fight against any misfortune. We fought shoulder to shoulder for freedom and independence, struggled with injustice.
And thanks to joint efforts and fortitude we won.
It so happened that the celebration of Greek Independence Day coincided with world quarantine. And we will not be able to celebrate this important day for all of us this year on a traditional scale.
But the feeling of freedom and the triumph of justice will always live in the heart of every Greek, regardless of the current situation. I am sure we will catch up.
I wish all of us patience, wisdom and good health. And may God protect you and your families.
Happy holiday!
Sincerely, President of the Boumbouras Foundation, President of “Gefest” Pantelis Boumbouras
