The father of Kyriakos Velopoulos, president of the Hellenic Solution, died of a heart attack yesterday.
He made the news known in a post on Twitter after the funeral of the "root" of the family tree, as he described it.
"When the 'root' of the family tree bends, the branches must remain firm and upright!" he said.
"Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the condolences they give me courage," Velopoulos concluded.
MP Constantinos Bogdanos of New Democracy also expressed his condolences and said "you live to remember and honour him."
Σου εκφράζω τα θερμά μου συλλυπητήρια. Να ζεις να τον θυμάσαι και να τον τιμάς.
