A new urgent preliminary investigation was ordered by the Corinth prosecutor for the case of the Paleochristians near the village of Manna Corinthia. The prosecutor requests that the exact number of minor children living in the caves and their living conditions be investigated.
Registry acts
The Corinth prosecutor’s office also requests that the children’s birth certificates be provided, if the children under 16 go to school as required by law, and that any other action concerning their livelihood be recorded.
It is recalled that earlier, police officers with a prosecutor’s order had removed the children from the burrows. The children, aged 15, 13 and six, as well as an infant, had been moved to the home of the 45-year-old’s 25-year-old daughter from his first marriage.
The baby belongs to the couple’s 22-year-old daughter, but it remains unknown who the father is since no one has identified him. However, according to information, the children seem to have returned to the early Christian community and are once again living with their parents in the caves.
What does the father stand for?
Earlier in the morning, speaking to a television station, Mr. Kalaitzidakis, the father of the family, noted: “Those who are confused become Pharisees. I had six children in Athens where I lived and I had to feed eight mouths with a thousand euros, it wasn’t enough for me. I now live here and it’s not only the financial part, it’s also the practical part.”
When asked why his children do not go to school, he replied: “Education is supposed to be free. It’s actually not free. Even lame Maria knows that it’s not free.”
“I am not obliged to send the children to school”
About his life in the last years in Corinthia in the estate he has bought, he said: “The other ends up being a beggar, they said we have low fertility and I believed them. Now that I have come here, I produce my own products, I have my own milk and I am not a beggar, I can feed my children, I have lived here for four years.”
Regarding it being illegal to keep children out of school, he said “it’s legal, it’s not moral. Every Greek has the right to own his own house. We must not see selectively. Is it considered normal when I was in Athens to be given 200 euros for housing? Man’s dignity is to maintain his beliefs.”
“I am not obliged to send my children to school. The Panhellenic has to deal with more important problems”, he added.
