Moral responsibility

March 16th 2012

 I would like to post my thoughts about what is happening to my country in the last years. i really didn't know how to start or what to do but i was sure i had to take some action and the best way to take action today is to inform everyone more about all issues that are taking place here.
 So i will post in this first post as a blogger my first thought borrowing Martin Luther King's words.
 Our politicians have done a great job in destroying our democracy and our dignity as a nation. They have imposed all kinds of unjust laws and are taking from the poor to give to the rich. They want to save the banks and in order to accomplish this they have taken everything from the working people.
 Well, i'm certain most people have heard of the economic crisis that is killing the Greek society and not only. Portugal ,Spain,Ireland,Italy and now Britain are taking extreme measures through hard laws of austerity. The EU in its effort to save the euro and the banks is making people all over Europe starve. All these measures and laws are very unjust and against human rights as said by the UN expert in foreign debt and human rights ,Chepas Lumina. http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=38901&Cr=austerity&Cr1
 So the big question remains. What should people not only in Greece but in every country slaughtered by austerity laws do? We have not only the right but also the moral responsibility, like M.L.King said , to disobey these laws.
 Sincerely
 Lina Greek
