Greek leaders who fought for pension reform, tax reform and financial prudence inside the Pasok and New Democracy parties and lost
07/11/2015
Matina Stevis provides this exceptional account of Greek leaders within the ruling centre left Pasok and centre right New Democracy political parties who fought hard for putting the country on sound financial footing realizing the obligations of the euro currency membership. These leaders tell her they were savagely attacked in the media, by labor unions, and within their party, and the fight came at a personal cost. The 3 leaders whose names now come up in Greece- Alekos Papadopoulos, a finance minister in the Pasok government in 2002, Tassos Giannitsis who proposed pension reforms as labor minister in the Pasok government in 2001, Stefanos Manos, a politician in the New Democracy party in 1998.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
