Των ανθρώπων που αγαπήθηκαν με τόσο κόπο.

Ή κι οι δυό μας ή κανείς

A concert on a truck initiated by the Mayor of Athens and the crowding outside the Prime Minister’s residence amid lockdown have angered Greeks who have been complying with the anti-coronavirus measures for over a month. Singer Alkistis Protopsalti and some musicians on the back of a truck toured the streets of Athens on Saturday to entertain the residents stuck home due to the coronavirus lockdown but also the frontline health workers dealing with COVID-19 patients in the hospitals of the Greek capital such as Sotiria and Evangelismos.

The initiative was launched by Athens Mayor Kostas Bakoyannis as  a “way to say thank you to all the people who are doing battle for us.”

In a post on Facebook, the mayor urged Athenians to “open their windows” to the initiative and “stay positive.”

People rushed to their balconies and windows and welcomed the music break in a triste reality inside their homes for over a month.

However, the event caused also a crowding, when the truck stopped outside the residence of the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Popular Greek singer Alkistis Protopsalti gave a concert from the top of a truck as it was moving through the center of Athens on Saturday.

“As people cannot come to listen to me, I decided to go to them,” Protopsalti said. The singer dedicated the unusual concert to all health staff battling Covid-19.
