INCLUSION IN SOCIETY IS NOT A CASE OF A SAUSAGE IN ONE HAND AND A BEER IN THE OTHER

INCLUSION IN SOCIETY IS NOT A CASE OF A SAUSAGE IN ONE HAND AND A BEER IN THE OTHER

Ι am opposed to the inclusion of even legal immigrants who are numerous in Greece for the simple reason that for me there is no difference between the migrant born in his country of origin and the immigrant who was born and lives in Greece. In both cases, immigrants also represent the offender and the victim.

Whatever the country of origin does, they obey blindly.

So I would say at this point that parents play a particularly important role in developing this behavior of children as they convey to them the feeling of nostalgia or return to their homeland. Read More

In Countries of Origin:

Creation of actions and campaigns to inform candidate illegal immigrants.

Campaigns on local websites,  newspapers and channels of migrants’ countries of origin, as in the case of Hungary. Due to the large number of immigrants and refugees from Lebanon and Jordan, the Hungarian government published a full pages in newspapers in Lebanon (An-Nahar) and Jordan (Al-Rai) on Monday 21 September 2015, warning potential immigrants not to illegally entering the country, saying it is a crime punishable by imprisonment.

DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND NOT TAX EVASION

DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND NOT TAX EVASION

The imposition of new taxes and the increase in VAT rates reflect the failure of the government’s economic policy just one year after the elections.

The government’s inability to deal with government debt leads to a violation of Greece’s obligations as a member of the Eurozone, but also to a political cheating of its voters promising benefits, not new taxes, pre-election. Read More

THE EXPENSIVENESS, THE PARTISANSHIP AND THE NON-PARTICIPATION OF THE PEOPLE BRINGS THE REVOLUTION INTO POLITICAL SPEECH

THE EXPENSIVENESS, THE PARTISANSHIP AND THE NON-PARTICIPATION OF THE PEOPLE BRINGS THE REVOLUTION INTO POLITICAL SPEECH

In all societies where exploitation of human labor prevails and social injustice is manifest, protest ideas and tendencies of overthrowing the unwelcome social structure can be developed to build a fairer society. Such ideas of social upheaval have been manifested in the past and with the French Revolution (1789-95), and then. The New Leaders team will promote the idea that the political discourse they are proclaiming is a social necessity and will proceed to its organization in the coming season, with the anticipation or expectation that the pursuit of social justice is the pursuit of workers, retirees, borrowers, homeless .

“MIGRATION POLICIES IN GREECE AND IN THE EUROPEAN UNION”

“MIGRATION POLICIES IN GREECE AND IN THE EUROPEAN UNION”

The migratory flows of recent years, as opposed to those of the first post-war decades, are characterized by:

  • the widening of family unity phenomenon, (b) legal and illegal migrants, and (c) the significant number of refugees and asylum-seekers, a number of applications that reaches the 200,000.

The gradual conversion of all 15 European Union countries into immigrant host countries makes migration a common feature of the Member States of the European Union. This, combined with the objective of European integration and the prospect of enlargement of the European Union, is increasingly combined with the need for a European immigration policy.

Immigration in the coming decades will continue to be a key factor in demographic developments, which will help to avoid a decline in the total population of Greece and the other countries of the European Union. Of course, such a prospect is linked to the development of the political socio-economic integration policies of immigrants. Nevertheless, it would be wrong to think that the migratory factor can in the long run meet the long-term needs of the economy in employment, since in such a case very high levels of immigration inflows are required.

PROBLEMS OF THE TRAFFICKING SYSTEM FOR THE IDENTIFICATION, PROTECTION AND TRAINING OF VICTIMS

PROBLEMS OF THE TRAFFICKING SYSTEM FOR THE IDENTIFICATION, PROTECTION AND TRAINING OF VICTIMS

Until October 2002, Law 3064/2002 came into force on “Combating trafficking in human beings, crimes of sexual freedom, pornography of minors and generally the economic exploitation of sexual life and assistance to the victims of these acts” (Official Governmental Journal, issue A, article 248 / 15.10.2002) the legislative framework in force in Greece was inadequate as the illicit trafficking of human beings was not punished by case. However, the implementation of the law has created problems related to the recognition of victims and the public services they have to provide, according to the law, protection to victims.

Many victims do not know what trafficking is, they cannot describe themselves as a victim, and this lack of awareness of what happens to them in connection with their self-accusation and ignorance of their rights, results in their deportation without any protection from risks that are lurking at their return, their conviction for illegal entry into the country and / or illegal prostitution. Also, the fear of retaliation by their dealers is so great that it prevents many women from being trafficked.

ANTI-RACIST LEGISLATION OR COMMUNICATION LEGISLATION DRAFT?

ANTI-RACIST LEGISLATION OR COMMUNICATION LEGISLATION DRAFT?

Since I am not a civilian public functionary nor a party executive, my positions are purely personal and are based on the Constitution of Greece and the existing legislation!

To be simple, as Greek citizens, we already have our rights, freedom of religion and livelihood registered! The Constitution of Greece covers fundamental human rights (freedom of movement, circulation, religion, etc.)

Who and why (not) want the anti-racist proposed legislation draft?

There is a divide in Greek society over the last few days about the so-called “anti-racist legislation draft”. In the opinions and suggestions which are made, I did not see any particular logic, merely a partisan point of view, ideologies and obsessions with what is in force in the Constitution. The Constitution protects human rights and has clearly described legislation. Read More

ECONOMIC CRISIS, JANUARY 2011, «TAHIDROMOS” MAGAZINE

ECONOMIC CRISIS, JANUARY 2011, «TAHIDROMOS” MAGAZINE

“TAHIDROMOS”  Magazine

I consider the most important event of the decade the economic crisis with its political, moral and social consequences. But its causes are deep, multi-level and began at the beginning of the last decade, with the greatly undisguised invasion of the US and the Great Powers in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and the equally dangerous invasion of Georgia in Ossetia and Israel in the Gaza Strip. All this, combined with the corruption and waste of public money in the US, Africa and the European Union, has led us to the present situation. The economic crisis has created insecurity for every citizen and has led them to reduce their costs as well as a significant deterioration in the standard of living. On this development, large corporations have cut their production, causing workers to be dismissed, and unemployment rates rising. I hope that in the next decade there will be no loans and no support for the citizens by the banks.  Mostly, however, I wish the citizens, people find the mental courage to stand again on their feet without suicide, domestic violence and other modern scourges worse than financials.
