A Russian oligarch and politician Mr.Savidis is stated to have bought
a good percentage of one of the biggest TV channels in Greece that faced severe financial
issues in the last years. This share acquisition along with his ownership of a popular football team in North Greece and not only brings
Mr.Savidis in the front as one of the most powerful person in Greece.
Moreover there are rumors that another aggressive media acquisition is in progress. No
doubt
this phenomenon is not surprising in one of the last leftist European
government of Mr. Tsipras radical left Syriza party, in a country that
still has as well a communist party with a respectful
percentage while in the same time belongs in EU and NATO.
For Greece that its government recently had
the aspiration of
producing Kalashnikov in its territory and acknowledged 2016 as the year
of
Russia - Greece close relationship Mr.Savidis investments seem quite
normal and anticipated.
The same goes for the appearance of a new type of journalism in Greece
that
resembles Joseph Stalin's "Pravda" era. The Athens & Macedonian
Agency seems
to have replaced modern ways of news making identical anonymous articles
appeared simultaneously in various media as the dominating face of
people's catechism and changing business as usual in pro-West Greece
after WWII.
For
Mr.Tsipras it is known that Vladimir Putin has been proved a
safe resort for lending during his governance and especially when he
faced resistance from his EU lenders. Although he hasn't managed yet
with his numerous local and external supporters to combine Russia rubles
and EU euro Mr.Putin has the patience to wait for his leader. Indeed
for Mr.Tsipras idealism that has no political rivals in European
territory apart maybe Herr Scheuble Greece
and Europe are minor ideas compared with his global plan of another type
of
life and governance. While he desperately needs 7 billions euro in July
to pay Greece's loans he
has no difficulty in setting the global rules. Angela Merkel seems
determined to
support an eternal dark in Greece in order to secure her share in the
country's
occupation and continue the deprivation of national assets. It seems
that she has no
objection for a Russian collaboration just in a similar and better way
than it happened in last
decades when they were striving both who will bribe more Greek officials
in reckless armaments procurement that shaped Greek political,
business and social environment.
From
Great Catherine to Joseph Stalin and now to Vladimir
Putin little seems to have changed in
orthodox Greece and Balkans. What brought the establishment of Greece as
a modern state in
1830, the French Revolution, easily and quickly was overthrown by the
maintenance of the Ottomans Greek cast's subservience till nowadays that
they are seeking
their "Messiah" in the totalitarian regimes of Russia and China in the
exchange
of their survival.
The unorthodox model of Ukraine seems to be the model
for Mr.Tsipras dream where Greece far away from its liberal ancient Greece spirit and its
modern alike societies will make finally the ultimate breakthrough in hostile
alliances that stand obstacle to his 'humanity" river.
