The official opening of the celebrations will take place on April 26 in Heraklion under the auspices of the Regional Union of Heraklion, the Municipality of Heraklion and ERT- Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation.
The Vice President for the Region of Heraklion, Euripides Koukiadakis stated, “The integration of Crete in Greece’s national trunk justified all the fights and sacrifices of Cretans and gave to us the possibility to live free and safe and also to create in this endowed place.
“Today, in the age of the political, economic, social and moral crisis, the values of freedom, democracy, national independence and social justice for whom our ancestors fought and scarified themselves are the ones which lead us out of the deadlock. Our unity and the continuous and consistent effort to meet the goals set by their example is the vindication of their struggles. “
