“Last chance for the Holy Monastery of St. Catherine of Sinai“, said MEP Nikolas Farantouris, speaking on ERTNews’ morning show on Sunday, the movement in Washington after the letter he had sent on September 2 to UNESCO ahead of Egypt’s bid for the presidency of the World Heritage Organization.

His letter, which questioned Egypt’s ability to lead UNESCO, galvanized the Greek-American congressman from Florida and close associate of President Trump, Gkas Bilirakis, who began collecting signatures from his colleagues, while last week an event was held in Congress with the participation of the Greek MEP via teleconference from Denmark, who was on a delegation from the European Parliament.

“I call on the Government to unite its voice, even now. Last week in Washington, D.C., in Congress, we joined our voices with Gus Bilirakis and representatives of Coptic and Assyrian Christians. The government was absent,” noted Nicholas Faradouris.

Moreover, in response to a question from journalist N. Kasimatis, how he joins forces with Republican MP Gus Bilirakis, of President Trump’s entourage, the MEP stressed that he does not operate within narrow party lines and even more so when it comes to the interests of the country & the people.
