Vassilis Kikilias: His Relationship with Palazzino and Fatherhood

I am friends with Jenny’s three children.

Vassilis Kikilias was interviewed by Gala magazine and Maria Lemonia. The Minister of Tourism and Parliamentary candidate for the New Democracy party spoke about his acquaintance with Jenny Palazzino and fatherhood.

On a more personal note, would you say that meeting Jenny Palazzino changed your life?

This is a fact. I grew up in a middle-class family where the concept of love prevailed and the idea of ​​starting my own family was always on my mind. But I didn’t say, “Now is the time.” This comes to life suddenly, unexpectedly and when there are real feelings. I found a man who loves me and I love him, there is mutual care and respect. This all ended with the birth of Panagiotis.

The family expanded, Jenny had three wonderful children, with whom I am good friends. My relationship with Jenny and having a family has developed me as a person, and it has taken me further, and made me discover aspects of my personality that I had not known before.

How much influence has Jenny Palazzino really had on your work?

I hear her. I think if we listened more to women, the world would be a much better place. I chased her a lot to be together so we spent many hours talking. That’s how I understood how she thinks, how she gives, and how thorough she is about things. It is good for spouses to exchange opinions and develop each other. Moreover, because of my personality, Jenny has chosen to modify aspects of her life. She left part of her work to me and that is something I appreciate and appreciate.
