Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ statement
The attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is a stark reminder that violence has no place in democracy. It’s a relief that @POTUS, the First Lady and all attendees are safe, but such incidents can never be tolerated. Protecting democratic institutions is non-negotiable.
