Son's Eulogy Highlights Importance of Integrity in Leadership

The eulogy delivered by Evelthon Vassiliou at the funeral of his father, Giorgos Vassiliou, was particularly moving and contained significant messages. Mr. Vassiliou stated that he admired his father's integrity, which, however, should not be taken for granted in leaders. This statement was made in a context of declining trust in institutions in the country, due to incidents involving politicians in opaque practices. Mr. Vassiliou expressed his regret that integrity is not always a given and expressed hope that his words would prompt reflection and accountability.
