Are we serious now????

March 17th 2012,

 I came home from work (yes, i work on Saturdays also!) and i read a post on the  Economist saying that the present PM who wasn't elected but appointed by the EU in Greece will remain in a big position even after elections.

 Are we serious now??? Do these people think that we are really blind and dumm??? The banks have to reassure that we pay with our blood the austerity measures they chose carefully for us. 

 And all this is happening while the 48,1% wants out of the eurozone now! But that's what they are really afraid of isnt it?

 People are out in the streets demonstrating against the auserity measures all over Europe! Greece,Spain,Portugal,England, France! Thousands of people are out in the streets for months and years and they do not seem to even see this! They go on expressing the will of the banks against democracy in each and every country one by one...

 How long are we going to accept this?What do we have to do so that they finally understand that they have to stop and be just to the people who voted them??

 I think we should not miss our right to vote this time because it is more critical than ever before to chose the people we want in and the ones we want out of the parlaiment!

 After all our granfathers died so we can have the right to vote. This means we can chose who is best for us now. And most certainly our current PM mr. Papadimos isn't elected.

 i get so upset with all the ungliness i see around me every day! Noone is happy, the depression levels are higher than ever before, old people dying helpless and young people watching their dreams of a future been taken away from them.

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.
