Democracy not found

 What can you do when you see your basic democratic rights to be taken away from you? Or maybe the question is what should you do? Will we allow politicians who are trying to defend the previlledges of the wealthy and the banks to destroy democracy in the very country it was created? Greece is the cradle of democracy. 
 I have watched the last months foreign politicians from Germany and France and the rest of so called civilised Europe to demand that we won't have elections in Greece although it is the clear demand of the people. They had to make sure first that austerity measures would be forced to us and then we could have elections! Well..thank you!!!
 I hope that people who live all over Europe and all over this planet realise what this means for all of us. It means that when the banks face a problem democracy is not an option. It means that they can take our right to vote just like that without asking.It means that all our ancestors fights for freedom and democracy in this land are cancelled and do not matter.
 So now finally we are moving towards elections under the EU close serveilance. They said the following outrageous thing to us..." If you do not vote for the two big political parties that we the EU approve of then we are leaving".
 Now how democratic is that!!! It reminds me of fasistic tactics. "Vote with a gun in your head". Most of the Greeks are tired of the unjust austerity.Tired of being told when or who to vote. We now have to chose between money from the EU or Democracy in our country.
 I will stand for democracy. We are all awake now!!!I feel an obligation to my ancestors to protect the most precious gift they shared with the entire humanity making millions of people's lives better.
 Sincerely,
 Lina Greek
