These elections were not like the others but contained surprises and upheavals of the political establishment. Characteristic is the case of the defeat of the bipartisanship with SY.RIZ.A being elected as the official opposition, as well as the entry of the Golden Dawn, a well-known far-right organization, in the seats of the parliament. But let's take each case separately.
First party once again, the abstention with the overwhelming percentage of 34,9 percent with more than ten percentage points difference from the second party. The indignant and desperate citizens chose this way to express their dissatisfaction and the discrediting of the political system which seems to be the main responsible for the many sufferings and impasses that the post-colonial period brought to Greece. But I wish most of them knew that this way of protesting them has no real counterpart, with the result that the ruling parties are re-elected even with smaller percentages, thus perpetuating their power.
New Democracy returns as the first in the field, however, having a huge quantitative reduction. The center-right faction of Antonis Samaras, although taken, managed to cut the thread of the finish first. This shows that there are still Greeks "party affiliated" who forgot that their party, as one of the two bodies of bipartisanship, bears grave guilt for the current slippage of the country and that because of the N.D. and PA.SO.K. we are today in the abyss of bankruptcy.
The big bang comes from SY.RIZ.A, which managed to become an official opposition, leaving PA.SO.K in third place. If you said two years ago that SY.RIZ.A, the party that in my personal opinion expresses rot, decline and degeneration, the party that expressed the most anti-ethnic positions in parliament, the party that wanted to legitimize all immigrants, coming second in the next election would take you crazy. As far as PA.SOK is concerned, he paid for the amateurish manipulations in politics as his vociferous and at the same time verbalistic promises, while he was in the government, did not pay off. In my opinion, the third place was more than enough.
Fourth is the party of the "Independent Greeks" of Panos Kammenos, who left the N.D. The "Independent Greeks", although a new party, managed to gather high percentages by gathering in its ranks many of the so-called "anti-memorandum" who recently left the major parties. The question is whether Mr. Kammenos's party manages to play an active role in political events and what proposals it brings with its anti-memorandum policy.
Then follow the two extreme left and right parties with the Greeks having suffered amnesia and forgetting the sufferings caused by both in Greece. Regarding the percentages of the CCP, I would like to mention that the "fashion" of the progressives of the last century has yet to pass and there are still people who believe in Marx's laws, in proletarian internationalisms, and in the dictatorships of the proletariat. Apparently, Stalin's followers have not moved on, being 21 years behind.
Regarding the debut of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn, in the Greek Parliament, the main responsibility again lies with the ruling parties, since in the absence of a proper and stable immigration policy, they turned Greece into an immigrant ghetto, with the result that crime strikes red and citizens despair. turn to the far right.
I urge the "fosters" of politics to follow Churchill's advice to Mein Kampf, stating: "Allied military and political leaders should have carefully studied his book. "Everything is in there."
The last one who entered the Parliament is the "Democratic Left" of Fotis Kouvelis, a prominent figure in the field of the Left who left SY.RIZ.A. Although the Democratic Left had a relatively high turnout for a new party, it could have done even better if it had not made the mistake of gathering politically homeless (mostly former Pasoks) who left their parties and at the same time expressed declining anti-Greek positions, such as case of Mrs. Rebousi who in the book of History of the XNUMXth Primary School, calls the massacre of the Greeks of Smyrna as a simple "crowd"!
These are briefly about the political situation that prevails in Greece. Another election period has come to an end, no one knows what follows. May God put his hand, because in the situation that Greece is in, only God can save it.
