ZIGMAR GABRIEL & THEODOROS
TSOUKATOS
The statement of
Vice Chancellor Zigmar Gabriel that «Greece isn't a victim of the troika, the
Germans or the eurozone but is a victim of its own political and economic
elites» is superficial, unilateral. It is half-truth. It is one side of the
coin, in our case of the Euro.
The last decades
the Germans, mainly, were particularly active in the blockade, the control of
the Hellenic Democracy, hence the formation, composition and imposition of
these domestic pseudo-elites. Related and cooperative with the German ones.
This connection
out of political and academic interest, also has substance which I personally
revealed when the pattern was under construction, the anti-pattern. When the
crime was committed and manifested. My essay «Greece – European Union –
Germany. Good deals make good friends and good citizens» is quite hermeneutic.*
For a lot of young people one excerpt from my speech in the congress of PASOK
in 1996 is prophetic. Those children were born during that time. «You will make
Greece a poor German land» I said back then. I was not a prophet. I was a good
analyst. It was politiki (=politics) as a prediction.
