Editorial Ta Nea: 4,172 reasons to be vaccinated
The leaders of democratic political parties have a duty to set a good example and address in both word and deed each and every Greek citizen by being vaccinated publicly.
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has often been likened to a war and indeed there is a common characteristic.
