In order to orient our thinking, our life, our works, we seek some "compasses". These, in every kind of social activity, are none other than facts. From the concentration of experiences, when they are systematized, ideas are produced and these are verified or not in the test of action. Facts, ideas, actions, this is the sequence that determines human becoming, social, productive, any, including politics.

Politics as a science is that which seeks and attempts to manage social relations in an organized manner for the more harmonious coexistence of the members of each society. It is, as is well known, a Greek discovery from ancient times. The ethos in it determines its quality and effectiveness for the benefit of society or selfish interests.

What kind of policy does Greece need today? What are its problems, how to face and resolve them, who are its enemies and allies? To find the answers, should we not look for the facts and what they mean? Or will we put forward our own beliefs, our subjective fears or desires, our selfish or ideological preferences, our hatreds or sympathies and weave an imaginary story outside of place and time that will be impossible to bring about any socially beneficial result?

The chaos that is sweeping the internet regarding the covid-19 epidemic is extremely typical. Division in our society, disorientation in the political scene, government amateurism and a quarrelsome sterile opposition, with serious consequences due to this chaos for the effective management of the epidemic. And in all these political behaviors everywhere there is the stamp of every kind of ideology. From not affecting the clinical leaders due to ... liberalism, to unlimited recruitment and permanent positions and ICUs in the National Health System (with what money?) due to ... statism, from ... deliberate lock down in order to destroy society and manipulate it by ... globalization (with what benefit and for whom?) to chips in vaccines so that the ... Cabal can control us or refuse the mask that ... silences us! And all this is not at all something to laugh at or cry about, because in addition to the fact that they have damaged and are damaging the effort to stop the epidemic, facilitating its deadly work, in addition to the fact that they sow discord, fear and hatred, they mainly distract attention from the vital central problems of our country, which are the extremely threatening Turkish expansionist aggression, the penetration and silent settler invasion of Islam and its fighters, the management of fiscal and banking bankruptcy and productive reconstruction, as well as the cancellation of debts.

Extraordinary events have occurred, such as the Franco-Turkish confrontation, the Turkish attack on Armenia in Artsakh, the Islamofascist murderous raids in France and Austria, the hypocrisy in the USA, Bulgaria's veto against Skopje in the EU, the Turkish provocation in Famagusta, which have passed unchallenged. No matter how much the circumstances of confinement and loneliness, of economic hardship, of depression brought about by the unbearable and exhausting trials we have been going through since 2010, our detachment from the social collective and individualistic autism, the erosion of education and the decline of education, and above all the apolitical rejection of everything and political illiteracy due to obsessive hysteria, drag us down and paralyze us, we must resist again.

As we did in the squares in 2011-2012, in NO 5/7/2015, in the rallies for our Macedonia, as we pushed for the borders to be sealed on Evros and for limits to be placed on Erdogan and for our EEZ to begin. Rebuilding within society, our political patriotic democratic unity and even ahead of 2021!
