17/03/2024
The President of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis, presented himself at the Artillery Training Center in Thebes on Friday afternoon, accompanied by his father, in order to fulfill his military service.
On the occasion of his enlistment, Mr. Kasselakis stated that he is honored to be there to serve his homeland, the country he loves, as an expatriate who has returned to contribute to his country.
According to information from various media, Stefanos Kasselakis has asked for equal treatment in relation to the rest of the soldiers in the military camp, as he sleeps in barracks, eats what is provided for, and has no access to mobile phones.

The total military service for Greeks abroad, as long as they have reached the age of 35, is 3 months, with the first 20 days constituting the basic training. Expatriates can buy off the remaining period if they wish.
