At Neos Kosmos, we are still receiving letters and opinion pieces from readers concerning the protest action taken at the Greek Independence Day parade in Melbourne on Sunday, 25 March. These letters are the opinions of readers and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of the editor and publisher of our newspaper. We welcome opinions from all sides of the political spectrum and will publish these as long as they are not defamatory and use civil language. To submit an opinion piece on any issue you’d like to give voice to, send an email to editor@neoskosmos.com.au. We also welcome photos and videos.
To those persons who dared to insult the sacredness that is the Shrine of Remembrance at the Independence Day march, I one thing to say – GO DEMONSTRATE IN ATHENS.
What occurred at the Shrine was an utter disgrace and the exact opposite of Hellenic philotimo.
Worse, the older persons there who displayed NO respect for Australia or the Shrine were joined by some who were born and raised here.
Well to each and every one of you I say get out and never come back. Go to Tsipras and tell him to his face. Get the Hellenic population to rise up but NEVER again tread foot on the Shrine and insult it as you did.
Having served in the Australian Navy I was appalled at the disgrace,
