“We are here and we will be by your side when history becomes unfair to you, when solidarity may sometimes be absent, or when there is a threat. “Because your freedom is ours,” said the French president Emmanuel Macron in a March 25 message for the Greek Independence Revolution.

At the end of the message, Macron said in Greek (transliteration: I diki sas eleftheria ine diki mas) “your freedom is ours”.

“Greece’s will for freedom has been and remains a point of reference, a defining point, and a light for Europe,” said Emanuel Macron.
