During the past two weeks more or less, there was noted an escalation of the presentation of the unlawfulness of the parliament member (then minister of shipping) Voulgarakis, in the way of sapping of resources that he was displaying and which we have in earlier articles described that all those making incursions in the Parliament and the People’s power they don’t own do. It is especially important that we examine the course of this case not only because it confirms all which we have already said in this site but also because it is an experiment which scientifically proves that the People’s power exists and can be exercised directly and effectively.
The classic and throughout the years case of the ex-minister and current parliament member Voulgarakis, who used (and keeps using even now) his office to embezzle and amass wealth depicts the ways with which one achieves that as well as the law breaches one commits covered behind formal activities, which however are highly unconstitutional and therefore illegal. From his very words we have the confirmation that not only he is not the exception but the rule of his colleagues and peers. But even if anyone claimed the contrary, there is the irrefutable proof of such unconstitutional and illegal (and therefore perjuries) activities:
1. the amassing of landed property in all of Greece and abroad.
2. the amassing of capital through the founding of assorted companies, off-shore and not.
3. the related activities of kin and friends with occupations such as that of the notary, contractor-businessman, purveyor-middleman, publisher- mass media owners, legal consultant, financial consultant, special ranking position or representation of large groups serving particular interests (e.g. of the church, of ship-owners, of banking institutions, and others)
4. the positioning of high ranking private sector employees in matching state position of key nature (such as the positioning as treasurer of NAT, the shipping state welfare society, of a high ranking executive of one of Voulgarakis’ companies).
5. the possession of stocks and activity in the stock exchange from a position of power and designing, such as state positions and executive positions in national organizations, etc.
6. also the possession of companies or positions in companies while being parliament members or ministers and actually in sectors similar or directly relevant with the sector of the company to which they are tied.
The Voulgarakis example easily demonstrates all six of these activities of a perjurer towards the State, the Nation and the People as well as his/her religion, since they have assumed their office under religious oath.
Prime minister Karamanlis, during his interview in the International Trade Fair in Thessaloniki, tried to cover the then-minister and display dictatorial totalitarianism by saying, in full opposition to the demands of the People, that he supports and concurs his close friend and partner.
The above action, if we analyze it from a communication angle, is an attempt to show power and cracking of the People’s opinion and will. It is also an attempt to establish himself as supreme ruler, not answerable to the People and certainly not controlled by them: with his blatant attempt to ignore and show contempt to the People and the Constitution, he tried to enforce an informal dictatorship of his government.
The week following this attempt of his, the People’s attitude became so violent and threatening to his government that he was forced, despite his initial assurances that he would cover for the particular minister, to demand from G. Voulgarakis to submit his resignation that they both (along with several of their supporters/ company) fought against and tried to avoid to the end.
This is solely and uniquely a victory of the Greek People and their huge political power which they possess: without any special movement or syndicalism / organization they managed, just with their great discontent, to make their demand that the minister be removed obeyed. Also indicative of the awareness and alertness the Greek People is beginning to acquire is the correct non-attribution of this success to any political leader.
The change of course the mass media have been forced to show, even temporarily, to retain some credibility is indicative of the political health the People are restoring and which another great perjurer is trying to do: G. Papandreou, who as a representative agent of the policy of his family and his camp is trying to do what K. Karamanlis is doing (which he has done repeatedly in the past), but with an incomplete projection of a socialistic approach so that he can embezzle the power of the People.
Parliament member Voulgarakis hasn’t in essence been punished because he still exists in Parliament (and consequently still makes incursions just as his colleagues) and is waiting until the People has been manipulated enough to allow him back in his previous rank and because he has been allowed to keep the wealth he amassed with unconstitutional and betraying activities “for his children’s sake” to the detriment of the lives, health and future of the millions of children of the People as well as the offspring of those children.
