In Greek theatrical boulevards that organized Greece in «heroic times» People's theatre, the actor dream was to die on the board. So is the dream of former Prime Ministers on the board of politics.
Only while the former had the passion of offering, the latter have the passion of self-defense. They do not leave permanently because they see their election expulsion as an injustice that needs correction. And if they cannot come back as now, they demand at least to show the role of guarantor of political purity («Everything I told them did the opposite.» said relatively recently A. Samaras).
They don't usually defend an idea. They defend themselves and their existential need to be in the foreground, since as former U.S. State Secretary has said Dean Atcheson «Giving up a big position of responsibility is like dying a little bit.». So in retirement, in non-existence, your work becomes the subject of criticism and your voice is weaker to defend it.
The above are general assumptions, which in their context could include the behavior of Kostas Karamanlis. The Prime Minister who entered into talks with Erdogan was annoyed by the «calm waters», considering that these are regarded as submissibility. The country says it is becoming a hostage of Turkish tactics anyway.
Of course the country became so hostage that during the calm waters they arrived in Greece Rafal and Belhara. But at least Karamanlis in the term said one «No» for Skopje. Samaras just dropped his government.
Target he wants to repeat. As Prime Minister he did not best-man Erdogan, but in 2013 he paid a visit to Istanbul accompanied by 12 ministers and businessmen. Apparently then Turkey... had no aggressive intentions, so from Dolma Baxe had stated that it was a «Good day.» and requested a solution «win-win» for the energy deposits of the Aegean. That wasn't... at all reassuring!
There was a return of that visit, and a few days later Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu made a surprise visit to the Greek outpost at Castanias Evros, while on a scheduled visit to Adrianoupoli. He traded gifts with the police chief and military commander Orestiada. So scared by Samaras, he then rabid for the calm waters.
Antonis is not satisfied with the national, in which he did not excel during his tenure. After all, Mitsotakis made the reminder of casus belli in Ankara, not Antonis.
More generally he withdraws a network of government actions which in his opinion betray «the soul of the party» – and which we hope is not the one he's projecting. A soul spidery, frozen in earlier cultural time.
The marriage of homosexuals is a major government sin. «He's upset.» The Greek society is supposed to be regulated that in the first year they used about 400 couples. Not every year, but the first year. People who waited even decades for the measure and came to the municipalities cumulatively. Such a... great overthrow of the Greek nuclear family (there is still no evidence from ELSTAT for the second year).
He considers today's NW hybrid LAOS and Semitic PASOK, but was cancelled by Adonis who reminded that he was the one who invited him, Vorides and Pleuris to the NW. Then the ND became only a little LAOS and apparently he didn't mind. At times it also appears to him as a Potami with a few NDs.
Margaret Thatcher had stated in 1987 that she would be «on and on». In three years her party kicked her out. We expect to see what the Southwest voters will do with Antony.
