Andreas Mikroutsikos comments on Styliana Averkiou's travel delay

On Thursday, March 5, during the television program Buongiorno, host Andreas Mikroutsikos addressed the issue of passengers stranded abroad due to flight cancellations. During a live connection with a Greek citizen in Dubai, Mikroutsikos mentioned that Styliana Averkiou, the partner of Member of the European Parliament Fidias Panagiotou, is among those currently stranded in the city. Mikroutsikos remarked that it might be preferable for Averkiou to remain stranded in Dubai rather than returning home to marry Panagiotou. His comments were delivered in a humorous tone. In response to public reaction, Averkiou later addressed those criticizing her, suggesting that individuals making negative comments should seek psychological support. The incident was widely covered by various media outlets in Greece and Cyprus.
