The grossly obvious purpose of the events taking place these days show to every
person wishing to pay a minimum of attention, the goals and targets of the
government people clearly and doubtlessly. Despite this, and because we find
ourselves amidst a cacophony of goebbelist propaganda that attempts to pass the
completely illogical as logical and legal, it is necessary that we comment on a
number of centrally important elements that drive this charade that is currently
taking place in the Law School of Athens resembling a conjurer’s act so as a
People we shall fail to discern the blatant attack that is being attempted on
our institutions.
The greatest fear haunting every anti-Greek, fascist-like oligarch who drains
Greeks out of their livinghood is the prospect of creation of a common popular
front by the People having a single target in mind. That is why, every
historical time that the Greeks could bring themselves to unite by overcoming
their own differences (for example, ideological, social and personal
differences), the dynasts of the Nation made up an element which enforced and
National split and division, with the greatest example being the Civil War which
took place right after the glorious concerted effort of the Greek People
(excepting the enemy collaborators, and all sorts of cronies who by default are
anti-Greek) against the Nazis.
Today, the Greek People stands united against the economic Nazis of the
post-Nazism as we have analyzed it, and constantly gains in cohesion which has
long ceased to subscribe to any party or union rule and directive, with one goal
in mind: The securing of a humane existence and the neutralization of the basic
sources of depravity rampant at this time and place, that is, corruption
cultivated and spread by indiscriminately every political party, of double
standards of gross injustice and inequality of treatment.
The only way of defence of all those who set themselves above the law (every
which kind of government cronies, capital holders, professional unionists, party
watchdogs and every kind of foreign oppressors of every make and size, from the
IMF to illegal aliens) is to construct an element which will polarize the Greeks
playing on the issue of our humanitarianism and human concern inherent in our
culture and the fear of our being branded as ‘racists’, even ‘fascists’ as well
as the intense sense of need for justice we all feel because of the unfairness
of the whole act against us.
They therefore use the extremely sensitive symbol of revolt against the
oppression of Dictatorship and fascism, literally molesting the memories of our
children that fell there then, only to be shamelessly exploited from day one
afterwards by all those corrupt collaborators. They spirited illegal aliens in
(who were not even residing in the Athens area, but who were of unknown
identity, about whom there are great doubts as to whether they indeed had spent
time on Crete) and donned the role of Law School students. Their demand, apart
from being totally illegal, is also completely out of time and place, against
every National Law: to secure legal work permits without any check and control
simply because that is what they wish, without our knowing whether they have
been criminals, healthy, whether they are immigrants or asylum seekers or what.
Our students of the Athens Law School back in 1974 demanded Freedom of thought
and Democracy in THEIR country. They did not go to any other country and demand
anything by locking themselves in a building.
The illegal immigrants are neither students nor Greeks, nor do they have the
right to demand anything beyond what the Human Rights Laws prescribe when no
identification is possible.
A split and division of the People is being attempted so that there will assume
opposed stances against a crime that has been premeditated and organized by
every political party with the collaboration of the shipowners, the mass media
and foreign countries: illegal immigrants are systematically blocked from
leaving Greece, while more are imported uncontrollably every day. They are being
kept in a condition that precludes any effective handling of their case and are
being used as leverage to enforce more oppression of the Greeks, the
destabilization of the state, initially via the economic cost they incur, and
secondarily through the threat to our National and social security and crime
control. All these serve very convenient pretexts so that our state will become
more of a police state, they could enforce more and fiercer taxation, and
justify even more appeals to foreign states to come and help us out with our
security problems and whatever else.
We should not therefore let ourselves fall into the trap believing that the
charade they have set up in the Law School is anything else but an attempt on
the part of the government to do away with the sanctuary of the University
(which is also being used as a grossly ridiculous excuse to blatantly break the
law), to enforce a police state on the Greeks or to fuel destabilizing events
which will give reason for violent reactions in and out of Athens.
We should keep in mind that:
1. the university sanctuary concerns exclusively the students and does not apply
on the case of every intruder or criminal. It is not threatened or undone if the
police are allowed to arrest the criminal who breaks the Penal Code by locking
himself in the specific place.
2. The sanctuary is encroached and trespassed when every non-student or
university-related person is permitted to lay control over the University site,
and in this way restrict students from making use of their own natural space.
3. the illegal aliens have trespassed on the sanctuary like every other common
criminal. But if they wish so much to hold on to the analogy of historical fact
that happened in the Law School or Polytechnio, it is the illegal aliens who are
now the intruders of the regime and who have no business in the place of the
students.
4. Responsibility for the very existence of illegal aliens and this situation
falls ON INDISCRIMINATELY ALL POLITICAL PARTIES, to those who opened the
borders, to those who offered them protectionist covers and above the law
handling as we daily bear witness to, to those protestors and unionists who
support them making false claim on their Human Rights. No party whatsoever is
free of responsibility and they have all contributed in countless ways to the
problem, from the far right to the far left, not excluding the church.
5. the only solution to the immigration problem is deportation, which is fully
supported by Human Rights, as much those of the illegal aliens as those of the
Greek nationals.
We should not permit such a diversion from the real action and reaction of the
People, and neither should we permit to drag ourselves into a violent situation
long ago set up by government so that they can bypass the explosion of the real
National wrath against them, and not against every nameless illegal alien, who
would never have been a problem if he had not had their back. Thus, all Greeks
should stand united and demand that all concerned and responsible for this
charade answer for this crime, from the party cronies who set up the whole
situation, to the NGOs and the Greek Police who did not act it should have when
they should have secured the University perimeter, the deans who have
deliberately yet not set the limits of the sanctuary regarding persons of
particular status (Greeks or foreign university students) as well as every
minister or councillor who has either signed for or due to his neglect or
ineptitude did not stop this from happening.
