Greek Democracy Is Back?
In a true Democracy no government, parliament or president,
politicians or political parties have the legitimacy to make
constitutional changes to alter the basic fabric of the nation without
the overwhelming consent of the people.
Under an ungodly pressure imposed on Greece by the IMF EU-Troika
lenders, the Tsipras government has refused their subservient conditions
and decided to seek the consent of the people! This indicates that a
Revolution of the Mind is underway to give people back the power they
have lost due to bad governments of the past. Today, the Greek people
have regained their constitutional right to decide what is best for
them.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras with the approval of the Greek
parliament has announced that Greece will hold a Referendum on 5th of July to determine the fate of Greece.
Eurogroup had offered to release frozen funds held back if Greece
accepts and implements their additional austerity demands under a new
Mnimonio. Those conditions border on blackmail and the Tsipras
government rejected them by recognizing the importance of going to the
people. Obviously the opposition was quick to condemn the introduction
of direct democracy.
This is a victory for common sense and democracy. The Greek people
would decide on “YES or NO” to either accept IMF EU-Troika’s new
austerity measures or reject them!
