It is a trap that steals our children&#8217;s future<\/b>,&#8221; he said, noting that only female intervention can stop the blood cycle.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">The minister paid special attention to the <b>role of women<\/b> as the core of the family and <b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"82\">the guardian of civilisation<\/b>, urging them to stand up against the culture of violence. He stressed that the use of guns at social events or to resolve disputes cannot be tolerated, noting that &#8220;<b>We must fight to stop other mothers from being dressed in black by a hunchback. There is no justification for taking a person&#8217;s life. Let the Cretan woman come out and say in my house no gun<\/b>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive\">   <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">In conclusion, <b>Irene Agapidaki<\/b> described gun addiction as a perverse form of communication and revenge that must be eradicated. &#8220;<b>We have a way to communicate with guns, to take revenge with guns, to express our anger with guns. I repeat, this is not a tradition, it is a trap<\/b>,&#8221; he said, calling for the message against <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"341\">gun violence<\/b> to become a motto in every Cretan home. For her, the image of black-clad women mourning victims of <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"467\">self-justice<\/b> is a reality that offends modern society and must be reversed immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irini Agapidaki intervenes on the occasion of the crime in Crete, stressing that gun ownership is a dangerous trap that undermines the future.<br \/>\n&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
