Aria Kalyva: Reactions to comment about 'living dead'

Strong reactions have been sparked following a comment by journalist Aria Kalyva on the #PowerTalk show on SKAI, where she used the phrase 'living dead' referring to people with disabilities.

The comment was made during a discussion about a traffic accident in Thessaloniki, following a viewer's testimony about their disabled brother.

Nikos Syrigos and the Cool Crips team reacted publicly, calling the comment demeaning and offensive. The Cool Crips, through a post, emphasized that disability does not make a life less worthy.

Kalyva's phrase sparked criticism for reproducing dangerous perceptions of eugenics.
