Between 1967 and 1974 a Greek military junta overthrew the government because they didn't like the election results.
20% of the population still approves of it.
19% don't have a strong opinion on a fascist takeover of democracy and the suspension of human rights in Greece.
30% of the population has nostalgia for the period.
Fun history fact. The US and UK bombed Greek partisans who helped fight against the Nazis. This was done to ensure a far right dominance in Greece after the Nazis left.
It is also factually wrong. The "legality" can only be determined by a lawful process after the people fled. Seeking refugee is a human right and the EU is happy to annihilate it for non white people.
Wow. The video of the Greek official, denying everything during the official interview (whilst seeing video of a migrant woman and her child, forced onto a boat by armed men, who were then left in a dinghy to float towards Turkey), then caught with a hot mic during the break, talking to a colleague, saying:
"I haven't told them much, right? It's very clear, isn't it. It's not nuclear physics. I don't know why they did it in broad daylight… It's… obviously illegal. It's an international crime."
"That's something that happens. The migrants travelling the Aegean Sea, very often they abandon the children. They don't seem to have the same... affection we have for children."
Yes that bit caught me off guard. How this dude just said migrants don't care about their children.... Like, my brother in christ, why do you think they're fighting so hard to migrate somewhere better?
@gAlienLifeform this is what much of the EU public is voting for, cheered on by the media which finds the extreme right irresistibly sexy.
They are voting for murdering desperate people.
And they’re going to keep doing it, because it’s easy to push the narrative that these people aren’t human beings with hopes and fears and desires, but some amorphous threat that “must be stopped”.
We can be better than this, but we never see to chose to be.
