There is a Greek saying that you will learn the truth from the young and the crazy. In our case the two political divs that recently caused waves are neither young, nor insane politicians, even though the Greek Parliament is teeming with such medical cases.
They both began from the parties that held the Hammer and Sickle up high on its own for daces. They bother achieved high honors in the Communist Party (members of the Central Committee etc), with Manolis Glezos ending up in SYRIZA and Theodoros Pangalos in PASOK.
Glezos and Pangalos need no further introductions. It is worth noting that, for different reasons, they have both earned the right to speak freely and without any political commitments.
Under the present circumstances Manolis Glezos dared point out a truth that is typically concealed. There is no money, the State is about to go bankrupt therefore the announcements of post-election benefits must stop…
On the other side, Pangalos dared to “confess” that Greece participates in the international game of spying and counter-spying game.
Everything the two politicians said was well-known and obvious. Things would be better for all of us if other, younger politicians to take up the baton from Glezos and Pangalos.
