She speaks English, Greek and some French, has environmental awareness and attitude and respect for all citizens despite their genre, age and nationality.

The reason she decided to take part in the European elections with the Mera25 part is because she believes in a Democratic European Union witch is equivalent and fair to all of its Nations, without class, racial and religious discrimination, but with equal rights in social and professional life, respect of the environment and free of social oppression.

In the days to come, we will be finalising our Greek ballot for the European elections. So, please stay informed of the most recent developments and be prepared to vote on the final list soon!
