From what I understand, you have also visited the Hellenic Parliament in the past days, It id really nice that you get to see how your country works. I believe that I have visited Thrace 10 times, more or less, even though I am from Corfu, on the other side of Greece. I am certain that we hosted you with efficiency, and also with great love. You are the future, you are the young children, for whom a much better future will be created. We are very happy that you are here today”.
