Because of that, the Mayor of Athens was criticized for being irresponsible and hypocrite and that he personally encourage the gathering of thousands of people, not using masks during the event and not exercising social distancing.

Hundreds of videos on social media showed the Mayor and his family with thousands of Athenians assembling around the new Omonoia Square Fountain, ignoring social distancing and having no masks...

At the Video that was he released by Bakogiannis at his Face Book Page today (Friday May 15th)  he admitted that it was a big misstate and he apologize for that.
