Panos Rucis said that he would continue the protest: “This is not what I achieve. I want not only identification, but also toxicology. We are being deceived. I continue the fight until the end “.

“Drive themselves out”: how the government loses the trust of the people
In fact, the government of Kiryakos Mitsikithais itself drives itself into a corner. Each half solution-as the current admission only to DNA identification-does not reduce stress, but, on the contrary, strengthens it. Society sees that instead of an exhaustive answer, a “compromise” is proposed, which does not satisfy anyone and grows distrust of the state.
The problem is aggravated by a sensation ambiguity of the role of the prosecutor’s office. Either the restriction of the analysis only DNA is the result of an unspoken political signal, or the prosecutor has his own game. In both cases, people read one thing: the state maneuver, and does not protect the interests of the victims and their families.
What’s next
On the agenda-conducting an exhumation, the expectation of the results of DNA expertise and the consideration of new families of families. The key question remains the same: will there be green light toxicological and histological research, without which it is impossible to close fundamental questions about the causes of death and responsibility.
