Victor Hugo writes in Les Miserables that when the English asked the last fighting French at Waterloo to surrender, their chief general, Pierre Cambron, replied “Merde!”, meaning “Shit!”, just before the “old guard” were thunderstruck by the Wellington cannons. On Monday, the shipowner Vangelis Marinakis, attending the meeting of the powerful of Greek football with representatives of the EPO and the other authorities that deal with this “angelically created” area, used “something” from Cambron, but without the “heroic and mournful ” which Hugo attributes to him: “All the shit together”, said V. Marinakis, looking towards the journalists, waving his hand in a way that looked like… “inclusion”. Who did he mean? Most thought that the characterization of Marinakis referred to the reporters present and not to his co-defendants at the EPO meeting, which would have been more accurate. ESIEA even issued an announcement, with a typical delay, until the balance is found. “Insulting and reprehensible behaviors towards journalists, such as that of Mr. Vangelis Marinakis, are not tolerated,” says the Board of Directors of ESIEA.
And yet many and many have given the “Marinakis” of this place the “right” to treat the workers in such unacceptable ways. When the big-capitalist “pimps” can determine political developments according to their interests and impose a state of galley in their “shops”, then this will be expressed verbally. Instead of bothering ESIEA with the phrase, it should be concerned with the situation, where the “bosses” see workers and journalists as expendable and ready at any moment to become waste…
In May 2021, noise was caused by the statements of another large shipowner, Panos Laskaridis, who told the camera that the shipowners “have lost the prime minister”. The shipowners’ “guild” has a tendency to express itself in the crudest way on political matters and social developments. They provoke, because the labor side has retreated. It’s up to us to fix this…
News behind the cameras
LOW viewership recorded the interviews of the two political leaders who appear as “more suitable” for prime ministers, despite the political interest after Tempe. The Tsipras interview on Mega’s main newscast on March 14 was watched by an average of 637,189 viewers. On March 21, the show Protagoins in Alpha with Kyriakos Mitsotakis was seen by an average of 395,702 viewers.
LAST NAME Mrcomplaint from a passenger on the fatal IC62 train that crashed in Tempe has come to light, according to which the question heard on the Protagonists show as his own to the prime minister had never been asked, at least in this way. With K. Mitsotakis defiantly replying to another passenger “to put your back” (!), it is clear that politicians and media leaders are far from society…
VERY CLOSE in the government, however, there are many media, as after the “Petsa list”, the EYDAP list came to the surface, with which it distributed amounting to 1 million euros on websites and 500,000 euros in newspapers, with non-transparent criteria and strange results: Parapolitika group got 111,000 euros, Nea and Vima 55,000, Paraskini 19,000, One Voice 12,000, Bam 10,000, Efsyn 4,000 and Rizospastis 2,500.
