Fidias Panayiotou is a politician. He said sorry for using a bad word. He said this word about athletes with learning problems. He said it on a podcast two months ago. Many people are now not happy. Groups for people with problems are upset. They say he is sharing bad ideas.
He used a Greek word. It means "fools." He said it about athletes in S14. These athletes have learning problems. The podcast was in November. People heard it now. Panayiotou made a video. He said sorry. He said he did not mean the word. Some people do not believe him.
A group of psychologists spoke out. They said his words were bad. They said respect is important. The word was public for two months. So, his excuse is hard to believe.
Another group for people with problems also spoke. They spoke for an athlete. This group did not take his sorry. They said it was not good. They also said his idea about politics is wrong. They called it an insult.
Panayiotou is in a new party. He said people are angry to hurt his party. This group said that is also an insult. They think people are angry to help those who are weak. The groups for people with problems do not take his sorry. His name is now not good.
