Love Tsipris' 'hey, it's serious, yet...' smile! .. it was good to read if Syriza split
Syriza is now likely to split, with a formal announcement thought to be imminent. The leader of the party’s dissident Left Platform, the former energy minister Panagiotis Lafazanis, announced last week that he intended to form a new anti-bailout movement, accusing the government of capitulating to the “dictatorship of the eurozone”.
The prime minister’s closest aides had conceded on Thursday that the divisions within Syriza had to be dealt with one way or another. The energy minister, Panos Skourletis, told state broadcaster ERT: “The political landscape must clear up. We need to know whether the government has or does not have a majority.” The party is now thought likely to call an extraordinary congress in September to resolve its internal differences. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/20/greek-bailout-alexis-tsipras-call-snap-elections

It is very strange when countries go through economic problems some people become more fanatic about their nation and support such parties. This is a worldwide phenomenon (France, Ukraine etc) For me is lack of education.
Especially this summer when everyday refugees from Syria and other places from middle East arriving on plastic boats in greek islands to save their lives and their children from the Islamic state and their violence. You can see two different worlds in greek islands, people enjoying summer and vacations and people asking for hope and help. This happens to Italy and Spain also. I send you some images that have socked me the last days (see below)
Suddenly my country’s problems seem so small. It is an unfair world. The ancient greek philoshopher Plato, said that to deal with the problem of justice kings should become philosophers or philosophers should become kings. In contrast, take a look at who rules the countries today or who wants to involve with politics… for example Donald Trump…"
