Prime Minister Mitsotakis Attends October 28 School Parade in Peristeri

On Monday, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis attended the school parade for the October 28 national holiday in the western Athens district of Peristeri. In his remarks afterwards, he described the participating schoolchildren as the "strength of our country". He emphasized the government's responsibility to provide them with opportunities for better lives than their parents had.

"The 28th of October is always a day to pay our respects and reflect. We remember those who sacrificed their lives 84 years ago so that we can enjoy our freedom today," Mitsotakis stated.

He noted that a grand Armed Forces parade was taking place in Thessaloniki, highlighting the nation's strength and military readiness to ensure national integrity and security.

Mitsotakis also urged younger generations to remember that democracy requires constant attention, participation, and civil dialogue. "Only through these means can we learn to coexist in an organized society, despite our differences, and ultimately thrive and move forward," he concluded.
