In his heartfelt message, Marios Georgiadis wrote: «I never imagined this moment would come so soon — at just 75. With great pain, I bid farewell today to my father: the man who raised me, supported me at every step of my life, and taught me — through his example — what dignity, perseverance, patience, consistency, and courage truly mean.»
«To many, you were the President. To me, you were simply my father,» he continued, noting that although he was not Leventis’s biological son, he never once felt ‘less than a child’ to him.
«Your greatest legacy is not what you achieved — it’s how you lived. How you fought. How you remained faithful to your principles,» he concluded.
