"It is not easy to accept that this personality, with her calm passion for life and public service, is no longer with us," the Prime Minister said. A great woman, a good friend and an indomitable fighter. Who never buckled, saying that difficulties steeled her. And yet, she lost the most critical, the only battle of the many she fought for her health. It is not easy to accept that this personality, with her calm passion for life and public service, is no longer with us," Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a statement.com/ellada/apeviose-i-proin-ypoyrgos-paideias-tis-ellados-marietta-giannakoy/]on the occasion of the death of Marietta Giannakou[/URL].[/P]
"From her village, Geraki, to the Medical School and from the Greek Parliament to the European Parliament, Marietta was a symbol of individual advancement and excellence. An indomitable and daring spirit, who did not for a moment consider established opinions and myopic perceptions. During her long tenure in science and politics, she submitted to only one thing: the best for the country and the citizen."
"She combined family with career and public presence with social action."
"She combined family with career and public presence with social action. No one forgets her struggles for education, against drugs and for women's rights. Her parliamentary initiatives, whether in Athens or Brussels. The battles she fought wherever she was. With a reformist vision and with persistence in modernization and progress."
"Marietta was a leader who came from within the party, from ONNED and the local organizations. However, she remained in the political scene until the end of her life, earning the respect of all parties and our entire society. Because, by common consent, she was one of the most dignified and active MPs and ministers ever to have passed through Greece."
"I personally mourn a precious friend and a rare collaborator. And her colleagues in Parliament, as well as her countless friends from every political sphere and from every corner of the country, a bold and radical voice. But always gentle and unifying. She will be greatly missed. To her daughter Zoe, her sister Fani and her family, my warmest condolences."
