The well-known actor is shocked by his burnt house in Varnavas…
Yannis Zouganelis spoke to On Time newspaper and journalist Sissy Menegatou, after the destruction of his house in Varnavas by the disastrous fires of Attica.
The actor described the difficult moments he experienced from the disaster, while as he said the only thing that was saved was the small church of Agios Nikolaos, which Yannis Zouganelis kept on his plot.
“I am shocked. It was a nice detached house with a garden “drowned” in the trees. It was completely burned from the first moment the fire broke out, but I found out yesterday because it was not accessible. My paradise is going, here where Eleonora used to come and was our sanctuary.I had everything inside. An organized house that I built with the efforts of a lifetime. It had media and musical instruments, family photos, all the things I loved that turned to ashes. I also had a painting of great economic and emotional value, a work by Fotis Kontoglou, which I had left here because I thought it was protected. It also turned to ashes along with everything else,” said Yiannis Zouganelis at first.
“It was a wonderful sanctuary in the green and now you only see blackness and debris. What I want to emphasize is that I do not grieve for my own loss, but I feel sorrow for the losses of people who have struggled some from their backlog and some from their surplus to do something and have seen it destroyed in a moment. I am saddened by the way the Greek people are treated because those in power have never protected them. And what I can't forgive is how they let the fire into the urban fabric. It's a shame. I don't see it personally. I feel sorry for everyone who lost their homes. Grieve. I'm shocked”, confessed Yiannis Zouganelis.
