delforum (the) 1. international theatre festival “this year’s delforum was one of the most successful from an artistic point of view and won over both audiences and critics”
2. a place where you have to watch what you say “please don’t speak badly, this is a delforum, it’s not your living room at home”
Tsipras threatens to shake us into… stability
The most interesting thing about the political part of the Delphi Forum is that you can see on the same stage the prime minister, Androulakis, Tsipras and generally every big name on the Greek political scene. Which means that you can, in the space of a few days (or even hours), hear great things. But nothing as terrible as the phrase “I am returning now because I have a responsibility to return stability to the country”, which in itself may not tell you anything (except that the person who uttered it must be riding a lot of reeds), but which will turn into a hilarious joke when I tell you that the mouth it came out of is Brother Tsipras. The man who has identified with instability, uncertainty and disaster says he is returning to politics to bring stability by proving he is as ruthless as he was during his time as prime minister. But thankfully, since he no longer has power, much funnier. Which means his return can only be welcome.
He’s been denied
“They were watching me because they didn’t want me to become president of PASOK,” the comrade revealedAndroulakis to Stravelakis-Karamitrou and thus for the first time publicly admitted that Mitsotakis could not have had anything to do with his surveillance. After all, it’s common knowledge that the prime minister lights a candle every day to keep the mighty Nicholas as chairman of the opposition party.
Everyone is talking, including the PASOK
During the debate on the waivers of immunity in Parliament, my ear picked up MP Doudonis of PASOK speaking out against bribery and if I were religious I would generally tell my PASOK comrades to be careful. Fascists against buffoons are like priests turning against the faith.
Mountain of Right
Costas A. Karamanlis is absolutely right to say that the attacks against him are due to his surname. If his last name were not Karamanlis, he would probably never have crossed the threshold of Parliament and thus would not be subject to any of the attacks he is being attacked.
