According to information from protothema.gr, the Prime Minister and the Archbishop plan to meet together at a unit of the church’s elderly care unit in Delesi, outside Thebes, next Friday.

The visit comes in the wake of the turmoil in relations between the government and the church following the passage of the bill on equality in civil marriage, while at the Maximou they were particularly pleased to hear the Archbishop’s statement today, who stressed that the Church does not retaliate and in doing so, he cleared priests and believers who attacked government officials and ND MPs in the past few days.
