Letter to George A. Papandreou for the voting of confidence

Dear Sir George A. Papandreou, 

I listened carefully to your speech in the Parliament; I can admit with interest. Considering that, I have some questions – comments in regards to your speech. 

Comparing your team’s posts on twitter’s web page and you, reading your well written speech in the parliament, I want to ask you if after you see the replay of the parliament video you are ashamed to use the title of the politician. And this is a question that is addressed to all political members. But I have to admit, in this particular case, you had a little distraction from this well written speech which makes me feel that you do at least a step at a time.

 You said that you are not interested for your political chair, but I wonder whether this is true. You knew from the beginning the bad economical situation of Greece, and unfortunately you cannot deny this. You renounced your responsibilities to the debt of Greece, considering the previous governments responsible for that. But Mr. T. Pangalos himself said, and agreed throughout the political community with him, that we “ate” the money of Greece all together. And I wonder Sir George A. Papandreou, if we really had “eaten” the money with the politicians, how you personally think that you “ate” nothing and the debt was not yours? 

 Proceeding to your plan of the salvation of Greece, you emphasized to that by giving a call to young Greek people to stay in Greece and not migrate. How this plan will be performed if the present times we speak 85% of the Greek population are below the poverty and over 60% are unemployed? What is your workforce? Who will pay those huge taxes that your government loads the Greek people? Or you will prison all those that cannot afford to pay the taxation and feed them? Surely if the state had so much money to feed half of the country’s population then what was the reason to enslave Greece in a system of wretchedness and unacceptable borrowing? 

You indicated that you are interested for your country; then why you didn’t start from the second month as Prime Minister of Greece the referendum system, but throw this “glove” to us very successful at this particular moment? Why you didn’t let the Democracy, which so elaborately defended in your speech, to decide whether we want to be economically enslaved to other forces?

 You said that you don’t follow the foreign interests or any kind of interweaving, believing in transparency, but I wonder where the transparency was in the whole 18 months of your service as a Prime Minister. If you had the belief that the political oppositions were not transparent, why you didn’t sight to apply your plans in the most transparent partner; the Greek people? Or perhaps Greek people are useful only for the election polls? 

From what I heard the last days in the media, all politicians unanimously opposed to the referendum you proposed, considering that the Greek people are incapable of taking any kind of decisions for their future. Who told you, including the whole political community, that you can play on our backs and make decisions about us, without us? 

And of course, I cannot forget, the political opposition trying to illustrate how transparent they are, they were absent from the parliament during your speech, appearing later on to simply declare a “No” higher than the 1921’s at the voting of confidence in the current government. And I wonder is that all that the political community is interested for?  Who will take the responsibility of impotence to command the smallest state in the world called “Ελλαδίτσα”? This is why you Sir, just decide to consist a government of shared responsibility, trying to transfer the onus from your back to others. The point is that the responsibility falls on the head of the whole political community and most of all to us who let you play with our future and our children's future. 

Ending, I wonder Sir George A. Papandreou, how you considered that your authority will be increased if you quit the government?  That is how you want to stay in history, just a cowardly crazy, as the foreign media say? And to mention the legacy in your speech, do you think your father would quit the government before he would have fulfilled his mission? 

And not to pall you more, I will finish with the issue of inheritance; I also inherited only a watch from my grandfather and a rope from my father with which he got hanged. The watch will be sold soon for food and the rope will be used with the same way as my father used it to prove you how successful were your salvation plans for this little country called Greece. The responsibility is not only yours, but everyone’s!
