Hacked - The crippling liberal facade of Mitsotakis
The wiretapping scandal has caused considerable problems for the Greek government and inevitably damaged the public image of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at national and international level. There is no doubt that a shadow of doubt and uncertainty hovers over Greek society. Many experts and political analysts are concerned about the state of democratic institutions and freedom of expression in the country. As a result, Mitsotakis is losing not only his liberal and progressive façade, but also his voters, as the latest polls show.

Tιμούμε τη Rosa Parks για τη συμβολή της στο σύγχρονο κίνημα πολιτικών δικαιωμάτων. Με την άρνησή της να παραχωρήσει τη θέση της στο λεωφορείο σε έναν λευκό άνδρα στο Μοντγκόμερι της Αλαμπάμα το 1955, η Rosa Parks (1913-2005) έδωσε μεγάλη ώθηση στο κίνημα για τα πολιτικά δικαιώματα στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες. 👩🏾🦱 «Οι άνθρωποι λένε ότι δεν έδωσα τη θέση μου επειδή ήμουν κουρασμένη, αλλά αυτό δεν είναι αλήθεια. Δεν ήμουν κουρασμένη σωματικά... Όχι, είχα απλά κουραστεί να υποχωρώ». #humanrights #πολιτικά_δικαιώματα #ακτιβισμός #ΗΠΑ #FNFGreeceCyprus --- We honor Rosa Parks for her contributions to the modern civil rights movement. By refusing to give up her seat on the bus to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955, Rosa Parks (1913-2005) gave a major boost to the civil rights movement in the United States. 👩🏾🦱 “People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically… No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”
