Statement by D. Avramopoulos on the request of Panos Routsi, 4/10/2025

Against populism and political exploitation, the defense of Democracy lies in respect, empathy, and humanity.

I support the request of Panos Routsi for the exhumation of his child. This is not a political or legal issue, but a deeply human and moral one.

A parent’s right to know the truth and to find peace through it is sacred. The State must approach this matter with humanity, empathy, and respect.

Our stance in the face of such trials is a measure of our society’s culture and moral maturity — a society whose unity, stability, and cohesion must be preserved.
