Greek elections and propaganda

Hello again! Today I would like to explain some things extremely shortly to my fellow Europeans about Greece and our elections. 

Everyone at this moment is afraid of SYRIZA, a left party that most probably will be elected, and press the Greek citizens not to vote for it. Alexis Tsipras, its leader, is presented as a deamon who' going to bring chaos and disaster. Propaganda is tha main thing nowadays in Greece but in its worst form. Adverts with people crying, young children expressing fears of no future, clear extorsions and so on and so on... Foreign newspapers and magazines are clearly interviening into the political life of the country by terrorizing and pushing towards the right-wing party. Imagine Germany publishing articles all the time and terrorizing the French (I don't know how..) to vote for some pro-German companies and banks party! 

The thing is that all these about SYRIZA are lies! It's leader, although presented as a communist revolution leader, want to negotiate and try to fix the problems on our own. Everyone says that Greece is being helped from abroad and with the money of the Europeans. That's exactly what he wants to change! Re-build our country with our strength and our money, which by the way are plenty in Greece but we have to pay the interest of the previous loans. And while doing that, paying back in a slower rate the loans given to us. What's crazy in this? Does this sound like communist revolution? 

Of course no foreign company and bank want SYRIZA and Alexis Tsipras to take over goverment in Greece because then all their plans of buying for nothing greek companies, huge areas of  land, earning tax revenues etc., goes to garbage! Isn't it logical that we don't want to sell out our home? 

But everyone says that the Greeks have a huge debt and have to pay. And everyone emphasizes on the economic help of the rest of the Europeans, but none says that this is not help but a real loan that has interest and right now Europeans are earning money from the misery of Greek people. Our fellow Europeans are earning interest from Greece for literally 200 years now! Can you imagine how many times Greece has repayed every single loan it got? 

And especially for the German people I have to say that you had many oppurtunities to rebuild your country but you have a hugely disonest attitude against Greece who was a part of your German economic miracles. Your lovely country started two WW in the last century, killed so many people and destroyed countries, but after that your debts were erased!!! Specifically from Greece, gold and other things were stolen and never returned. 1/6th of the population died because of you and now you dare to talk and try to take over Greece? Again? 

p.s.: The propaganda is huge against SYRIZA. Even the Getty Images has offered lots of available photos of Alexis Tsipras and SYRIZA, but only is you retain their image caption that connects Tsipra's election with the currency of Greece. So the point is that if you want to write about Tsipras, be our guest and here have some photos but you'll have to say what we say!
