Those who ignore the future

Are you sure that Samara's intervention in same-sex marriage caused tremors in the new democracy? Do you also think there is a rift within the party? Logically yes, that's the obvious one.

But if you look at it from another angle, you will agree that Samaras intervention was probably welcomed even by Mitsotakis. A faction of the true right, realizing it has a voice within the party, does not feel marginalized by the centrists or the former PASOK. Next to Mitsotakis is Voritis and Samaras, who speaks without a cutter.

Is there a chance to see a new party from the right side of New Democracy? Difficult as long as Mitsotakis is at the helm. If he leaves, yes, we will see the party remain centrist. From the looks of it, starting with “maintenance” and reaching the far right is a political conspiracy with a perspective.

In the upcoming European elections, according to opinion polls, Kyriakos Velopoulos could take second place. After all, his party is taking huge hits in opinion polls. The government is crumbling, with SYRIZA and PASOK floundering in stagnant waters, but Velopoulos has electoral momentum. If we look at the country by region, it is reasonable to assume that the Greek settlement in Macedonia has set the sights of the second party. Nicky did not pull, because, according to popular opinion, at most the Lord will have mercy, and the priest is bored.

What does Velopoulos do? He is simply copying Trump, in many areas, using the television time he buys for his businesses and his interviews to push an agenda. It is not limited to complaints. He also suggests remedies taken from the conversations of a country cafe next to the hearth. One more thing. Takes a stand on issues of lifestyle and cultural identity. A whole world is out there, bewildered by the changes, ready to listen, looking for something to hold on to. “They won't drive us crazy saying climate change is happening because the cows are disappearing,” I heard Velopoulos say. This, as ridiculous as it sounds, is as widespread as it is – it's a rule.

The marriage equality vote was fuel for those trying to run a political career pushing an “anti-enlightenment” agenda. If Velopoulos is honest, he'll go celebrate in the gallery with Kaboutzidis. Because it is a development that allows culture to come before politics and, as a result, seeks a wider audience. After all, it's also how heterosexuals meet.

Velopoulos joins KKE over marriage issue. An anti-authoritarian antifa journalist who thinks juntas are democracy and juntas are democracy agrees with Velopoulos on the Navalny issue. Both wonder why we don't care about Epstein's death in an American prison.

The dividing lines are drawn with chalk and are easily erased. Also, now there are many common points where KKE, Velopoulos and antifa can meet. Hatred of the West, worship of Putin, rejection of social progress, used by elites to exert control over societies.

These similarities are also seen at the social level. Sometimes you're talking to someone and you can't tell if they're going to the right or the other end of the axis. The point of this observation is that the conceptual identity disappears completely. Class rivalries and economic disparities are not the only ones that set the tone. Today there are people who find convergence in passions, morals and lifestyles. Listen, for example, to businessman Dimitris Gianakopoulos and how ordinary people inspire him to form a party “to save what's left of the homeland and the family.”

Well, all the people and currents that oppose the “New Order” can at some point “bind” under a truly charismatic personality. He will have the constituency and will be looking for solid representation. “Turning my back on the future,” wrote one left-wing creative. Listen to it and you'll realize it's no longer just about the left. It might become an anthem in the future.
