Let’s begin with the plain: The technology that lived the post-colonialism from its starting, has absolute measures of comparability. He barely lived by way of the top of the world warfare and the civil warfare that adopted, Greece struggling to seek out democratic footholds pre-dictatorship and naturally the 7-year collapse of democracy, from 1967 to 1974.

Subsequently, it’s completely affordable for him to contemplate that he lived and lives higher than the earlier technology. Since 2004, the nation, for the primary time in not less than two generations, considers that its youngsters will not be having pretty much as good a time as their mother and father.

The achievements of the primary two prime ministers, Constantinos Karamanlis & Andreas Papandreou, are nonetheless remembered for the reason that entry into the EEC and the social balancing are crucial occasions of the post-colonial interval.

What are we preserving?

• A) Andreas Papandreou’s fame can be dragging PASOK down in a dominant place on this fifty years. An important achievements, based on the typical Greek, from the popularity of the Nationwide Resistance to ASEP, deliver the historic chief of PASOK to the primary place among the many elected prime ministers. In truth, it’s value emphasizing that it surpasses even the well-known “no person”. Andreas, nonetheless, is each the blessing and the curse of PASOK. The heavy burden and the direct comparability are another excuse for the electoral collapse of PASOK through the years, since every political memorial service and appeals to the “inexperienced God”, with out the resultant anticipated imaginative and prescient, create reverse reflexes.

• B) The navy has probably the most optimistic impression in years, a military with a defensive operate. It isn’t a menace however a secure pillar of our democratic polity and that is a vital victory of the post-polity. On the similar time, after all, if we mix the just about 30% who choose the abolition of the monarchy negatively, we perceive that the well-known conservatization of society is now being quantified.

• C) The 35-54 technology is not simply annoyed. She feels defeated and now she isn’t offended however feels alienated from the political system. The subsequent technology, which had a tough begin, is clearly extra optimistic.

• D) In PASOK, the dominance of Andreas Papandreou is obvious, at a time when opinions are divided in ND. However that is in all probability additionally the explanation that ND has endured through the years, since its corresponding totem has a clearly extra balanced picture in comparison with its descendants. Lastly, Alexis Tsipras receives a share of 8%, which brings him to 3rd place, however with out having the ability to examine with another descendant or ancestor of his. It takes half of the overall share of SYRIZA and the events which have come from its break up. It appears that evidently the protagonists of the technology of the memorandums (Giorgos Papandreou, Antonis Samaras & Alexis Tsipras) are a factor of the previous for the Greek political scene – (affordable factor seeing the ten% optimistic / moderately optimistic opinion “the implementation of the memorandums” & 24% respectively “the 2015 referendum”)

• E) The discrediting of residents within the media, political events, the judiciary, the commerce union motion and native authorities isn’t information.. However Mithridatism is meals for thought. The sensation that nothing is working completely can result in harmful errors. If one seems at Greece earlier than 1974 and after that, one can perceive how the nation progressed. Forgetfulness is a medication, so long as it does not change into a medication
