[01] LAOS leader bashes German stance
Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) leader George Karatzaferis launched a
harsh attack on Germany, prompted by German chancellor Angela Merkel's
stance towards Greece, speaking on Sunday at the annual memorial
service in Vigles, Megalopolis, for the 212 people executed by the Nazi
occupation forces during WWII.
Addressing the event, which was also attended by German ambassador to
Greece Dr. Roland Michael Wegener, Karatzaferis likened the German
occupation with German's stance today towards Greece, adding that
Germany must realise that it has obligations to the peoples of Europe,
and especially the Greeks.
"Back then they devastated us, and are doing so again today,
economically. All these things that are happening are disappointing the
Greek people regarding those who believe that they can control our
lives," Karatzaferis said, stressing "we can do so ourselves".
Karatzaferis said that today's Greeks must take their example from
those great Greeks of the past "because today, too, we are under a
singular occupation, an economic one this time, and we must wage the
battle to be able to emerge winners once again".
