Greece to unveil monument for Mitso Repoutsikas in Kato Achaia

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) Achaia Sector will hold a ceremony to unveil a memorial column dedicated to Mitso Repoutsikas in Kato Achaia. The event is scheduled for Sunday, November 1, at Papagiannopoulou Square.

Repoutsikas, a law student and member of the Communist Youth (OKNE), was one of the 200 communists executed by German occupation forces at Kaisariani on May 1, 1944. After being arrested in 1939, he was imprisoned in Akronafplia and Larissa before being transferred to the Haidari concentration camp and ultimately to the execution site.

The memorial follows a decision by the West Achaia Municipal Council. The ceremony will feature a speech by Fanis Parris, a member of the KKE Central Committee, and a musical tribute by musicians from the KKE and KNE.
