Stefanos Konstantinidis spoke about Andreas Mikrooutsikos and his TV coexistence in the morning zone of Alpha in the past years. The well-known journalist was hosted on The 2Night Show ,revealing the reason why he broke up with him.
“Andreas will speak his mind no matter what. He will say it, but he will say it in a very long time, because he is of the generation of presenters who were one man shows and filled 45 minutes with no shots, no bridges, no nothing, talking,” Stefanos Konstantinidis began to say.
“He can in a second – because he woke up like that, because he likes it, because he wants to be talked about, because he really woke up like that – step on your red line. When you’re a group – because we, when we do this TV that we do in the mornings, we’re a group – so when you’re a family, you know each other’s red lines very well.
You can disagree with the other person, but red lines are red lines. I back when it happened with Andrew, it happened for a reason. It was done for the sole reason that he told me I was a fascist. So me and Andreas, because I lost my father and because my father was of left-wing background, like Andreas, we have spent countless hours talking about the Polytechnic, about the Polytechnic generation, about my father who was really in the Polytechnic generation and all that. And he knew what the word ‘fascism’ meant to me,” he went on to explain.
“Telling me, even metaphorically, that what I’m saying is fascist was my red line. I didn’t allow anyone and every Andrew should back off the next second if he respects Constantine, 20-30 years younger, but who is allowed and required, if he loves himself, to have red lines. The word “fascism” for me is a red line,” Stefanos Konstantinidis stressed.
“Andreas is a great personality, he is a mind, he takes you forward. But Andreas in the everyday family you have with him, on the panel, is also unpredictable. I love him, I appreciate him! I won’t stop saying that he loses track of time, puts in eight minutes, which he can’t on a morning show, and that sometimes it’s like waking up. I’ve told him that myself,” Stefanos Konstantinidis immediately notes.
“No, I wouldn’t want to work with Andreas. I want us to go out and have a couple of tsipouros, have a blast, have some fun. I left Super Katerina, from Alpha, and went to Mega and Eleonora the next year. I was psyched that in this 220-day-a-year morning family, a little bit of stepping on each other’s red lines, and I didn’t want to be part of it, nagging about stuff like that. It doesn’t mean I don’t love them. But it just means that I don’t want to be with them every day,” clarifies Stefanos Konstantinidis.
