How many times in this last year have we seen Greek people protesting onto the streets of Athens ? We have missed the numbers, for sure.
What is surprising us is the following: Greek people are not missing their willing to fight the "system" and create a new one relying on justice and freedom.
We must never forget that Greece is the place where democracy was born more 2500 years ago. Greece taught us all what really means democracy. The ancient Greeks invented democracy. We have only copied it.
By the way it seems we have copied it in the worst possible way. The actual democracies in the Western world are nothing more than political oppressive systems based on the remembering of once upon a time was a real democracy.
For this reason is right and correct that Greek people once again is remembering us what means democracy. Democracy means that in absence of a full agreement, the majority has got the power to decide which is the best way to proceed along the road towards a real democratic state. When a minority took control of the power of a state this is no longer a democracy. It is all but democracy.
The degeneration of a democracy starts when a majority is not able to maintain his ideas, his convictions, his firm attitude. In this moment a minority of smart and clever people understands that the time to take control of the power is just arrived. This is the way how any dictatorship is born.
The Greek government is no more representing Greek people. The Greek government is just a minority. The only way for the Greek government to leave the scene with dignity is to call free general elections.
Greek people are doing what everybody here should do. They are recovering their freedom to choose.
