Rhetoric of hatred has nothing to do with our political culture, says State Min Vernardakis




The rhetoric of hatred aims to marginalise the citizens, to harm the people and to discredit the right to be different and has nothing to do with out political culture, said State Minister Christoforos Vernardakis in an announcement in which he presented a TV spot against discrimination.

“There were three incidents in the last week which we must examine with a cool mind. The shocking statement of New Democracy’s deputy Athanassios Davakis who stated that he forbids to any roma or gypsy to vote him. The dismantling of the neo-nazi organisation alleged to have made multiple criminal attacks and finally, Golden Dawn deputy Ilias Kassidiaris’ verbal attack against SYRIZA MP Moustafa Moustafa” said Vernardakis adding that these three incidents are totally connected.

“They are hatched by the same ideology. The ideology that targets part of the citizens” he underlined noting that “the common denominator is the rhetoric of hatred that aims to marginalise our co-citizens, to harm the people and to discredit the right to be different.”
