Unfortunate homeland, painful Greek history

Unfortunate homeland, painful Greek history

It has plunged us back into the “patriarchy,” the most offensive and stupid thing that has happened to us lately. The revival of the April slogan (which comes from the earlier depths of our post-conflict history) is 100% credited to Giorgos Attias. I don't know what the mysterious path of his thinking was, he thought that a slogan with the historical burden of the 1967-74 period (with wood and exiles) could bring crosses to Eurocalp today.

What the hell, isn't he afraid of being called Junta? If he didn't know that the slogan was written under every drawing of an April Fool's bird, it was considered a traditionally right-wing term that activated the conservative reflexes of his main target group, old men and grandmothers. Ridiculous, because the young (who didn't vote for him) know nothing about the junta and don't pay attention, the old (who do vote for him) remember very well what dictator George Papadopoulos said after every incoherent speech.

Normally ND should somehow bring George back to class and at least deny him the essence of the slogan. They don't, obviously (picture of the NT) doing more harm than good. They probably thought they could “put on a hood and go there”. I suspect there may have been some subterranean rebuke or warning because the candidate sometimes said it and sometimes forgot. I haven't heard him repeat it in his speeches and TV shows.

But the revival of the slogan also proved the irrelevance of ND opponent Stefanos Kasselakis. First he published a post on Tik Tok in which he explained that it was “so far a right-wing hijacking of the slogan 'Motherland, Religion, Family'” because the left has always been patriotic, family-oriented and pro-free will. hope He silenced and disillusioned those old leftists still in SYRIZA.

Then, suddenly, Stephanos turned it around and when journalists went to ask him about “the press, religion, family”, he angrily cut them off and shouted, “You're asking me about the hundred slogan, don't forget it”. The boy from Miami is going to drive us crazy. In other words, everyone will drive us crazy, some from here, some from there. Suffering homeland, the unfortunate history of Greece…
