The poetic Kasselakis with monks in Amorgos: “Half of Greece would like me to be a monk, the other half would like me to change everything”

The president of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis, is touring the Aegean islands ahead of the European elections that will be held in Greece on June 9.

Every day that passes in the light of the public, more and more shots are coming from the meetings of Stefanos Kasselakis in the islands he is touring and one of those that are of particular interest – because of what was said – is the one with monks in the Monastery of Panagia tis Hozoviotissa in Amorgos, where he was found a few days ago.

The Kasselakis conversation with monks in Amorgos

The president of SYRIZA, as can be seen in the video presented by ANT1’s “Morning” show, talked to them in a relaxed atmosphere and while talking to them, he said that half of Greece would very much like him to be alone.

Here is the dialogue that followed:

• Stefanos Kasselakis: I expect you. From the mouth of God tell me over here how many you are
• Solitary: The elders will keep, to increase. We are few
• Stefanos Kasselakis: Shall I come alone too?
• Solitary: Yes, yes (laughs)
• Stefanos Kasselakis: Half of Greece would love this. Okay, get rid of me (laughs)
• Solitary: So that is how it is; The other half?
• Stefanos Kasselakis: The other half would like me not to be lonely. He would like me to change everything
• Solitary: Good, don’t bother to change them. If you have to change them, don’t stay

At that moment the president of SYRIZA sat on a terrace, where from behind there was absolute emptiness since the monastery is built at a height of 300 meters from the sea. Then the monks and associates shouted to him to be careful, with him laughingly replying: “Children, calm down, I’m not going anywhere even though half of Greece would like me to go.”

The Kasselakis donation to a church in Astypalaia

At the same time, as Alpha’s “Super Katerina” show revealed, Stefanos Kasselakis decided to make a donation to the church of Panagia Portaitissa on the island of Astypalaia where he was until this morning.

It is noted that this particular church was completely destroyed in October 2023 due to a candle during the Divine Liturgy.

As reported by the information of the show, the president of SYRIZA took a tour of the site and, seeing the burned church, decided to donate all the colors that will be used for the hagiographies, but also wherever else color will need to be restored. According to the same information of the show, it is a donation of thousands of euros, the amount of which none of those who have undertaken the work for the restoration of the temple wanted to reveal.

In fact, according to what Mrs. Frosso Stavlas said, the woman who has taken the initiatives to find donations for the restoration of the Holy Church, Mr. Kasselakis, seeing the burnt church, burst into tears.
