Καλό που πήγε ο Υπουργός Δένδιας στο Διδυμότειχο και τον υποδέχθηκε ο Δαμασκηνός. Χαίρομαι που ευχαρίστησε τα παιδιά του στρατού που υπηρετούν εκεί στον Έβρο, γιατί ξέρουμε πόσο δύσκολα είναι τα σύνορα. Ο δικός μου γιος υπηρέτησε κοντά στα σύνορα παλιότερα και μου έλεγε πόσο σημαντικό είναι να νιώθουν ότι δεν είναι μόνοι.

Da, și eu am auzit că zona aia din Evros e grea, cu vântul ăla care bate tot timpul. Bine că ministrul Dendias s-a dus personal să vadă unitățile și că Mitropolitul Damaschin l-a primit la Episcopie. Mulțumesc și eu soldaților care stau acolo, că nu e ușor deloc.

Yeah, it's good the minister went out to the border units himself instead of just sending someone. The Metropolitan thanked the troops for what they do for the local folks in Evros, and that matches what my buddy from church said after his national service stint up there years ago. Wind never stops, does it?
