Dear Comrades
It has just come to our attention that the moribund anti-humanitarian regime that undermines and destroys whatever characterises a state as civilised, and in particular Hellenic, felt threated by you to such a degree that it hastened to send its suppression forces to you, the New Generation of our Motherland and your parents, who brought you up to demand proper Education and equal opportunities with the children of the oligarchy who harasses us.
As Hellenic grandmothers, mothers, or sisters who have felt the same type of terrorism on our skin when jailed because we dared to demand our Constitutional Right for Free Citizens, not only for us but for the totality of the Hellenic People on behalf of all its Citizens, we are saying to you that we are proud of you for the fear you have managed to inspire to this dictatorial occupation simply because you demanded to have Education!
Whatever ʽsentencingʼ issued from this defaulted and illegal Fascist regime who obeys Anti-humanitarian Memoranda and ʽcreditorsʼ and not to its own Constitution and Human Rights for Education, Freedom of Speech and the right to demonstrate, it is a MEDAL OF HONOUR AND THE TANGIBLE PROOF THAT THEY ARE AFRAID OF YOU AND THAT THEY FEEL THREATENED BY THE YOUNGEST OF OUR CHILDREN TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT THEY DARED TO TRESPASS BLATANTLY AND OFFICIALLY, YOUR OWN HUMAN RIGHTS AND DENY YOU DUE PROCESS AND LEGAL REPRESENTATION.
Here is to you! Because, on account of your own actions, you forced them to throw their mask of fake constitutional advocacy, whenever that seemed a well-suited move for them, for the thousandth of times and forced them to reveal themselves as parts of an authoritarian regime where the government people and their cronies cannot stand up to criticism and Justice demanded even by children, and also showed that there is no such thing as a ʽState of Justiceʼ in Hellas, where the judiciary are pawns of their government masters, regardless of every comical excuse to the contrary occasionally uttered by the spokesman of the judiciary.
They are attempting to make a communicative exemplar of their actions against you in their attempt to dissuade all the rest of the thousands of young people and their parents who would like to fight for their Right to free Education, to quality Education, devoid of any propaganda and political manipulation.
But we, the Yeritsidou, mother and daughter, are telling you that you are becoming an exemplar to be emulated! Because no free man who threatened a fascist regime ever avoided persecution, or marring his or her criminal record, or threats to that effect, which, as we said above, is your medal of honour and your passport to the Next Day which will be borne out of the very hard Resistance that we are all engaged in during this war of attrition that is without arms…so far.
As a member of the unseen but real generation of the Polytechneio, at a time, that we, too received their ridicule and contempt for the fallen who were at that time characterised as disturbers of the peace and who got persecuted / prosecuted / threatened / terrorised / and marred, just as you are now (only to be used for profit by the scions of the then members of the government who then simply transferred themselves from the Junta to the post-Junta governments), I, Olga G. Yeritsidou, daughter of George Yeritsidi, an official victim of the Polytechneion Day, am telling you,
Olga and Tanya Yeritsidou
