A white dove video and references a href=”https://tomanifesto.gr/ekdilosi”>event in Thessalonikiprovokes discussions about a possible new political movement and party on May 21.

In posts circulating on social media and accompanied by a video allegedly created with artificial intelligence, there is talk of a founded political initiative centred on Maria Karustianou, which is linked to scenarios for the establishment of a new party and an event on 21 May in Thessaloniki. The visual material including symbolism such as a white dove has sparked intense online debate, while the spread of the post on platforms such as Facebook reinforces the spread of the claims without so far official confirmation.

With a short video on Facebook, Maria Karystianou confirmed that the announcement of the new party will be made from Thessaloniki on Thursday 21 May, at Aristotelous Square and the Olympion Theatre.

In the video from AI, Maria Karystianou lets go of a dove holding an olive branch in its beak.

The presentation will take place in Thessaloniki, at 18:30, at the Olympion Cinema. “On May 21, all together with Elpida for a New Beginning!”
