Firstly, I would like to present myself. I am a Greek
who lived in Greece since the day she was born. I studied Biotechnology, I did
a Master. Here, in Greece. I am moving to continue my studies in Italy. I am 26
years old and I am proud that I was born and raised in Greece.
Regardless what people think- and talk-
about Greece- Greeks- the recession, Greece for me will be the country we all
love to hate.
The reason which compelled me to write
this post is mainly the fierceness against the Greek nation, deriving from
people that live their lives somewhere across the globe- not even Europe- with
poor knowledge of what we- the Greek pigs- are going through.
My main problem is my belief that people
are not numbers as the majority of the Economists would like to convince us.
That the national motto "Liberté,
égalité, fraternité" of the French Revolution as the time
goes by, has completely lost its meaning. It is my problem that my
beliefs-moral, political, religion oriented- have been invalid, disrespected,
discriminated, disregarded, laughed at and cancelled by people that all they
see is numbers.
I red just a few minutes ago a comment-
from a person who lives in the USA- in an article with the title "Greece
goes the way of Argentina", to wonder if they throw us from the Euro-zone
if we will keep dancing in the streets. I would like to reply to this malicious
propaganda as simple as this; we will keep dancing in the streets, in the
squares, everywhere we can, we will dance ("hunger
fights castles"-). Because last time I checked the USA had to
deal with numerous economic crises due to their lack of managing their own
capitalistic monsters. But yet again, only the poor paid the price- as usual.
The people who have not experienced an
economic crisis to their skin, I understand that, they will never be able to
get the slightest essence of what the-so was called- middle and working class going through.
Hence, I am incapable of judging neither their arrogance nor the imputation of blame and
responsibility to the lower classes.
As I said, I am not an Economist, but I
know this much; Europe as we knew it has changed, not because of the Greek
referendum (only), but also because of the people that consist it. Not the
politicians. The- everyday- people of Europe. The time to choose what kind of
Europe we want has come. Not for the politicians, not for ourselves. For the
generations that will follow.
What Europe do you want? The Europe that
enslaves countries with weak economy, imitating the Nazis on WWII? The Europe that
thinks all this is a muscle game and the brawniest will win a Greek
island? The Europe consisted of politicians of member-countries ready to lend a
hand to the corrupted media for their daily propaganda/ demagogy to scare the
people of another member-country in order to vote according firsts' appetite?
Or you want the Europe that the tripartite motto of the French Revolution
will make sense? The Europe that every country keeps its identity without the
need to capitalize on another one? The Europe with the European Union which is
actually a union and not a fight ring.
I am not saying that we Greeks are
saints. All I am saying is people that are outside of the dance-circle can
sing a lot of songs, as a Greek proverb indicate.
