For the first time since 2009, when he resigned from the leadership of the New Democracy party, former Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis decided to intervene politically in response to the rumored austerity measures that are set to be adopted by the government as demanded by the Troika.
Through his associates he sent a strict message to the government that he will not vote for any of these measures, adding that if this is ignored, then he will personally intervene in parliament if they are presented, and what is more, he will also explain why he does not approve of them.
What he did not say, but what is clear, is that if Karamanlis does this, then two-thirds of the New Democracy party will follow suit. Most of the MPs in the party have already expressed their disapproval about these measures and the latest decisions being taken by the Samaras administration.
Talk about a POLITICAL COMEBACK. It couldn't have arrived at a better moment for our country and its future. Costas Karamanlis is ready to break free from his self-isolation and finally give this country some hope again.
According to press reports, Karamanlis has been preparing for his comeback for quite a while now. As such, he has held a series of consecutive meetings with conservative MPs -or Karamanlikoi- who are extremely pessimistic about the future of the government but also the fate of the New Democracy party.
Some may argue that it was a long time in coming, but we all know that if he made this move several years ago, he would have been torn to pieces by this country's corrupt media industry. Greece needed reforms, our country needed restructuring, but driving us to sheer poverty for the love of corpotocracy is something that will never be tolerated by the real patriots of this country which are the veteran voters and supporters of the REAL New Democracy party, and not the party that Evangelos the Large Venizelos wants it to be. If Venizelos and Samaras want to form a new party, then so be it... but they should move to the corner and allow real leaders who truly love this nation to come in and get things done. ENOUGH!
With a name that is heavy as our history, Karamanlis is ready to return, and this time it is for good!
