Hope: They called me “hospital”, while I and Junta were convicted

‘ My company didn’t handle it well. Many such opportunities were presented to me along the way” she comments. Hope interviewed Hello magazine and Giannis Vitsa. The well-known artist referred to the reason why she did not proceed with her proposal for an international career and the one who was court-martialed. In 1975 you won a world prize singing in Chile. In fact, Julio Iglesias was also present with his manager, who wanted you in Spain! Why did you refuse the proposal? What can I tell you? I was irrelevant to them. I loved what I did, I loved it, and I didn’t want much. I wanted to be in Greece, not to upset the Greeks… That’s what I thought back then. My company didn’t handle it well. Many such opportunities were presented to me along the way. This was a step towards an international career. Yes, for a huge career! They were excited about me, and I never understood why this job broke. Did it upset you? Too much because the politics got in the way, which I had nothing to do with. They called me a “having” while I and Junta were convicted. Nobody knew. I was court-martialed and sentenced to three years probation. How did it happen? We had taken a field trip with my friends and sang with the guitars “In the secret” of Mikis Theodorakis. Hey, they took us in! I spent two days in the holding cell and he was set on trial. I was court-martialed, but I never told anyone. So they tried to hurt your career when they called you a “having.” Of course. Out of jealousy do you think this happened? I don’t know and I don’t care to know. What’s done is done.
