Greece and the pandemic: health system collapsed, media silenced, artists on hold
<p>“No one will stop me from going to Crete during the Easter holidays,” the sister of the Greek prime minister, MP and former minister Dora Bakojanis said in an interview with television station SKAI.</p>
<p>When asked by a reporter if this was the case for all citizens, she added: ‘God has an advantage’<br />
Bakojanis, the 66-year-old daughter of the conservative New Democracy ideologue, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, who once also mayored Athens, has shown indidifferently that there are two kinds of citizens in Greece; the political rich elite and everyone else.<br />
After five months of closure, status inequality is mirrored in Greek society: the epidemic has become a battle for survival justified by the Mitsotakis government tightening repressive control, concealing the adoption of school, energy and economic reforms and openly attacking critics.</p>
