And finally, Alexis Tsipras, you are a big idiot

I’m watching Alexis Tsipras’ “Both Esses.”

All income is known.

Parliamentary compensation and his partner salary from the university are related.

from deposits.

Two assets from parental allowance, one for him and one for his partner.

One engine in his name, bought in 2007, 1248cc car. His partner bought out in 2003.

There is nothing beyond these.

That is, someone who was prime minister could not actually increase their income.

At today’s prices, their total savings would not allow him and his wife to afford a newly built 90 square meter apartment. In the heart of Athens.

In other words, Alexis Tsipras, so far removed from politics, could not afford a decent house.

But, unfortunately, Alexis Tsipras may be an exception.

Because the reality is that the adage “Leave politics poor” has irretrievably passed.

Instead, we have passed a time when most politicians take it for granted that the rich and the poor should leave politics.

And sometimes they see “fair wages” rather than corruption.

And the problem here is not just what we call a problem.

That is, cases of direct or indirect funding of politicians or entire parties in return for favorable decisions by political officials.

This is a profound one: any conception of politics based on public interests is lost, for all kinds of interests in society, any reference to politics as primarily ideologies, programs and strategies.

This loss of the concept of politics is also reflected in another element: the way you see people who are clearly inadequate emerge – sometimes even take positions of responsibility.

Apparently we have a democracy and cannot add criteria worthy of the dominant popular will.

However, it is disturbing to see not only the concept of “fair pay”, but also the practice of promoting incompetent politicians, based only on their strong presence in the public eye (as if SYRIZA voters preferred a well-known actor over Konstantina Kuneva. )

All this points to the melancholy thoughts about the deep crisis of the political system.

But finding Alexis Tsipras a big clown based on the political norms of the time, it will continue to be bad days for politics and society, until the “crimes” increase and form a majority on the left. In all politics.

B.S Koridos will have every reason to feel that after the rapid developments in Syriza and especially the criticism of him by the people he trusted to make the left a reality for the first time. , but this can’t be I break it now.
