Resumen |
Our country has fallen into a dismal state, and it is constantly challenged by extrinsic and intrinsic pressures, while the economic and social climate deteriorates further day by day. The Greek government, in total obedience to the irrational demands of the “Troika,” focuses on the obligations of the citizens towards the state and seems to forget or ignore its own obligations towards its citizens. The government has imposed a brutal and self defeating fiscal austerity: in a confiscatory manner, it tries to collect extra revenue from an already impoverished and afflicted populace, while it neglects its main role, as specified by the constitution—the protection of the rights and the welfare of the citizen body. |
