The upcoming elections, I think, give the opportunity to all parties, alongside the much-vaunted "purification", to succeed in the despised "self-purification".
To think, to propose and to elect as their officials and deputies, those personalities of their political space who know, represent and spread seriously and responsibly, their ideas and their programs. To remove those elements that, for opportunistic, personal or old-party reasons, floated or were imposed.
All this seems difficult. Stabbings, political costs, dissolution come to mind.
When we see, in fact, the rise of fascism in some former democratic countries.
Let's try to look at them cooler. Is it not so difficult?
Romances, the embittered reader and "seasoned" executive will be quick to conclude.
They are both wrong. Of course, not everything happens overnight.
Yes, there will be a cost. We will lose some who do not change their minds.
Those who maintain? they constantly renew and feed the old partisanship. Who come to the parliamentary offices, not for Ideas and our place but for money and "glory". Of course, we will also lose their... relatives..
Let's lose them all.. But we will definitely win those who don't come with us, precisely because they exist, those... the "conveniences".
Finally, let's learn one day to measure the candidates, not by HOW MANY THEY BRING, but by HOW MANY THEY DROP... This is the only way we will rally the serious people who exist throughout society..
If, of course, all parties in Europe want to walk in a great, future Europe of a New, Revolutionary, Renaissance. Unless they want to walk these steps with executives and parliamentarians captive to the multinationals..
And we ask them how they will deal tomorrow with one George F. Kennan, American Professor and Ambassador to Sov. Union and in the former Yugoslavia, if it provokes them as it cynically provoked a few years ago, all the Balkans.
” All the inhabitants of the Balkans must finally understand that in the future Europe, it is not possible for their borders to be preserved as they are now. They have to change. And they will change as soon as possible.
We will call their leaders, we will discuss and we will come to an agreement somewhere, I hope. But if, despite all this, they do not understand the necessity of this change, then we are obliged to impose it by force..”
And they imposed it. They broke it up. As they did in many other areas of our planet.
Fortunately, there are also some sensitive American diplomats who are resigning.
BRADIE KIESLING, American Political Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Athens.
” Athens, 28.2.2003. Dear Mr. Minister. I am writing to tender my resignation from the Foreign Service and from my position as Political Counselor at the U.S. Embassy. in Athens. The policies
that they are asking of us now, constantly seeking war with Iraq, are incompatible with American values.. Such systematic distortion of information and such systematic manipulation of American opinion,
we have seen since the Vietnam era"
Some hide all this.. And the "candidates" of course ignore it..
The struggling new generation, however, knows it. And he treats them right. Here is the answer that our new friend, Angelos, gave us when we asked his opinion about the next elections:
"We will all vote.. To "disprove" Rosa Luxemburg who tells us:
"If the vote really changed the world, it would have been banned a long time ago.."
