Announcement
The
Metropolitan Community Clinic at Helliniko does not identify itself with any
political positions or political parties.
Its work is the reflection of the beliefs of its more than 200
volunteers who are involved in a daily struggle to prevent the collapse of the
public health system and the disintegration of social cohesion.
Right from
its conception, during the demonstrations at Syntagma square in the summer of
2011, through its recognition and support by the municipalities of Hellinkon
and Argyrouplis, until its continuing function today, it has been guided by the
three basic and fixed principles spelt out by the decisions taken during its
general assemblies:
- MCCH accepts no monetary
donations from anyone. Donations
are accepted in the form of goods or services only.
- MCCH refuses to meddle in political or
“party” activities and will not allow any faction to use the efforts of
the volunteers to project their own political/personal viewpoints or to benefit
in any way from the efforts of the volunteers.
- MCCH will not advertise the
contribution of any donor
Until
today, these principles have been respected and accepted by everyone. Lately, however, they seemed to have been
overlooked by certain local publications.
We therefore ask EVERYBODY – without exception – to respect the way we
work and not to enmesh us in any political endeavors. We ask these people to please withdraw
certain offensive publications and to respect what we are trying to do
here. Any assistance offered to MCCH cannot
be used to advertise or promote any political position (directly or
indirectly).
We hope
that common sense prevails.
