Press reports suggest that right-wing politicians put pressure to remove his name from the award list. Apostolopoulos currently works with Médecins Sans Frontières in rescue operations for migrants from Libya and Africa. He has already been awarded by the mayor of Palermo for his humanitarian action, while the Danish Ministry of Shipping has awarded him the Nautical Award 21 for his rescues in the Malta area. However, it seems for Greece he is considered as a persona non grata. Although it was announced that he would be awarded by Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou, it was cancelled last minute. Constantinos Bogdanos, a conservative lawmaker of ruling New Democracy party (EPP), commented, “Mr. Iasonas Apostolopoulos, an aggressive critic of Greece’s policy of defending the borders, but also of the security forces as a whole, will not be honoured”.
