Independent MP Andreas Themistocleous was vehement in his statement in parliament.[/B]
In his intervention on the state budget in Parliament, he analyzed the risks and challenges, noting that a big chunk of the pie should be for defense spending. Themistocleous made special reference to East Med, describing the prospects that open up as a huge opportunity that we must seize.
At the same time, he referred to the events of the past few days and the debate on sex education and Grivas.
"Jesus Christ naked," Themistocleous said, saying that the marriage was made for the puppy when a public official did a series of works that insulted, patently, all Cypriot Christians. "He was denounced from everywhere, proceedings were started to impeach him and suddenly everyone said it is ''his right to express himself freely'', but the MP who was elected and is here today some people want to deprive him of this right, and what Voltaire said applies, ''I disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it'''.
On the ultimate, as he called it, issue of Grivas Digenis, he called it an obscene decision. He referred to the decision to execute Kolokotronis, the condemnation of Aristides, Themistocles, Phocion, Isocrates and Socrates.
He spoke of an AKEL myth. "The decision is directed not at any living person, but at one who died 48 years ago. It was taken because unhistorical, nationally unworthy people still believe in the AKEL myth that after Digenes died six months later he was resurrected and apparently staged the coup. Those who believe that the coup was carried out by Grivas and EOKA B are far from the truth.
"The coup was carried out by the Junta of Athens. What EOKA B followed was completely normal for the time and the surrounding atmosphere," he noted.
George Grivas Digenis was honoured by fathers and grandfathers, by us and our children and will be honoured by those of tomorrow, he concluded.
