The prime minister spoke about the case of the murder of 28-year-old Kyriaki by her ex-partner outside the Police Station of Aghii Anargyro.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis was asked in an interview he gave to SKAI how he reacted when he saw the murder of a young girl outside a police station where he had gone to ask for help: “With great sadness and with great anger. I am completely honest. Because it was a punch in the stomach. Everything went wrong,” said the prime minister.
And he continued: “It was a tragedy what happened.” Kyriakos Mitsotakis explained that the case worked “as a wake-up call for the state and how to make things better for women too, for how to report these incidents.”
The prime minister said that recently there has been an increase in the number of women asking for help and activating the panic button because they are in abusive environments.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasized that the goal of the government is “for women to feel that if they turn to the state there will be a structure there that will protect them and not turn a blind eye”.
