According to amna.gr, they walked the “invisible paths” of Athens together, engaging with the city’s homeless population, and later shared a festive dinner at the Shedia house.

In a social media post accompanied by a video, Kasselakis expressed his commitment to understanding the experiences of the homeless and emphasised the national goal of eradicating homelessness if SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance was elected to power.

The video captures Kasselakis engaging in heartfelt conversations with Michalis and expressing gratitude to Alefantis for Shedia’s impactful 11-year journey.

Mr Michalis shared his personal journey from homelessness to finding support and cultural reintegration through Shedia, underlining the magazine’s holistic impact on those who have experienced homelessness.
