I had the pleasure of attending last night's tribute to Federico García Lorca and Odysseas Elytis as a guest. The event took place within the framework of the Mediterranean Poetry Festival, organized by the Instituto Cervantes and the Elytis House-Museum, in collaboration with the Spanish Embassy.
We had the honor of participating in the moving ceremony and wreath-laying ceremony commemorating another anniversary of the Battle of Salamis in Athens. The event, which takes place every year in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, located next to the Hellenic Parliament, was attended by political leaders and parliamentarians, ambassadors, and various figures from Hellenic society. With the laying of our laurel wreath, we once again pay tribute to the Greek people, their patriotic traditions, and their history of struggle.
