Pavlos Marinakis tried to downplay the decision of the Holy Synod to celebrate the “Sunday of Orthodoxy” in the Catholic Church of the Holy Monastery of the Incarnate Petrakis and not in the Metropolis of Athens, as was done since the end of the occupation and after, in informing the political editors.
“There is a separation of powers in our country”
Specifically, the government representative said about the Church’s decision to “exclude” the political and state leadership from the important religious celebration that “the government has a duty to implement the program with which it was elected, with absolute respect for all citizens. And to serve the interest of all citizens. This is how all governments must be consistent and implement what they said before the elections. And obviously there is a separation of powers and in our country there is the executive power that makes recommendations and the legislative power that passes bills and no one else”.
“There is no value in commenting on the church’s decisions – ‘There is no escalation’
At the same time, Pavlos Marinakis, when asked by documentonews about the reports of Thanos Pleuris about escalation of tension by Mrs. Sakellaropoulou, noted that “eternal respect for the church is a given. She has every right to make her own decisions, without us having any value in commenting on those decisions. I don’t think there is any escalation of tension, there shouldn’t be any escalation of tension.”
It is recalled that Mr. Pleuris, in an interview with Action24, left tips for the President of the Republic, regarding her presence on the night of the passing of the bill for equality in civil marriage, in a wine bar with representatives of the LGBTI community.

Specifically, he said that “someone can say that there is a broader reflection, that on an issue that everyone can have a position on, there is an agreement, that horizontally (the bill) created a tension in society, that it is good after its completion, this tension must be de-escalated and no right should be given. However, respecting the institution of the President of the Republic, they would not want me to further comment on this attitude.”
