Athens News 27/5/2001:
Main opposition New Democracy (ND) MP and former transport minister Costis Hatzidakis, who was attacked and beaten by protesters on Wednesday during an anti-austerity demonstration in downtown Athens, stressed in a written statement that the circle of hatred and violence must come to end.
"I do not hate those who attacked me. However, all of us should realize that Greece cannot move forward with hatred and violence. We should give our best to overcome this major crisis," he stressed and thanked those who stood by him during and after the attack.
He made a special reference to the police officer appointed by the state to serve as his bodyguard and to the two civilians who were injured while trying to protect him.
Main opposition ND leader Antonis Samaras, who is in Brussels for the European People's Party (EPP) Summit meeting, had a telephone communication with a senior Greek Police officer and underlined that those responsible for the attack should be arrested and punished for their actions.
"The unacceptable beating of parliament deputy Hatzidakis, under no circumstances, can express a genuine popular indignation. On the contrary, it is used to defame the popular struggle and serves those who seek the submission of the people to the capitalist barbarism," underlined the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) in a statement issued in response to the violent incident involving the ND deputy.
