Harry Duke for the “cop thief” on a city council: The well-known editing machine struck again

Reactions were caused by the word “cops” with which he described them, during the municipal council of the Municipality of Athens and while they had entered the hall residents of the Exarchies. The Mayor of Athens, Harry Duke speaking Wednesday (27.03.2024) to citizens said among other things “Did you see here a cop’s carjacking?”, thus raising the wrath of the MP of the ND, Thanos Pleyris. Thanos Plearis in a Twitter post, saying that “the Mayor of Athens, except that he does not control the situation in the Board of Directors, unfortunately he uses within the city council instead of the term police officer, the vulgar designation “cop”, saying “did you see in here batsou clubs?”, insulting police officers.” The Police and its trade unions also expressed “their anger” towards the Mayor, whom they accused of “unacceptable, provocative and offensive behavior”. The municipality of Athens responded on Friday afternoon (29.03.2024), to the announcement of the Panhellenic Federation of Police Officers preceding, about a word allegedly heard the other night. The municipal authority refers to a “montaise”, points out that Harry Duke simply repeated a phrase of a townman, only for disclaiming and ending with the word “abomination”. In particular, the announcement of the municipality of Athens states: “The well-known montaire struck again. The Mayor of Athens repeated, to disprove it, a phrase of a citizen, who claimed that in the Chamber of the City Council there was “a cop’s larceny”. The citizen’s phrase was deliberately cut from the video that was moved. As for the announcement of the police unionists and the petitions about the Mayor’s face, we respond with one word: Shame! .PS.: It is possible for trade unions of EL.A. adopt and promote propaganda and modeled videos of government trolls and the known to all Pleuri?”. The Mayor of Athens, in addition to not controlling the situation in the Board of Directors, unfortunately uses within the city council instead of the term police officer, the vulgar designation “cop”, by choosing words “did you see in here a map of Batsos?”, insulting the police. — Thanos Plearis (@thanosplevris) The announcement of the Panhellenic Federation of Police Officers: We express our anger and indignation at the unacceptable, provocative and offensive behaviour of the Mayor of Athens, Mr. Harry DOOKA, towards all the Police officers of Chora, during a recent meeting of the Municipal Council of the Municipality of Athens, where he described the Police with the pedestrian word “cops”. It seems that the Mayor is unable to understand the slip that is being committed when a public person passes out phrases which are inconsistent with the public word and in any case society has not only condemned them, but it is the same person who looks forward to and seeks daily to provide effective police services. So instead of recognising the difficult and dangerous mission of the working policeman, we are once again forced to publicly stigmatise the behaviour of the so-called “progressive” and not only. Let us not forget, however, that “the superior men bear the insults of the below”…
