Ηλιοβασίλεμα στο Ρέθυμνο

A priest in Rethymno, Crete, was sentenced to nine months in prison on Friday for inciting the public for disobedience against the National Public Health Organization’s directive on the mandatory use of face masks.

The 47-year-old priest, whose sentence was suspended for three years, spoke against the use of face masks while performing a blessing ceremony during the opening of a local kindergarten on Monday.

In a video circulating on social media, the priest is heard shouting at present parents that “they will destroy their children” and criticized them for not holding a rally to protest the use of masks.

Annoyed by his words, teachers and parents argued “this is a school” and not a place for him to hold a …sermon.
