If he were truly smart, everyone would know it, and he wouldn\u2019t need to keep reminding people of it. Similarly, if someone feels the need to constantly point out their honesty, it\u2019s probably because they aren\u2019t honest. If he were truly honest, we\u2019d all know it, and there\u2019d be no need for him to point it out to us\u2014just as a man who\u2019s 2 meters tall doesn\u2019t need to constantly tell us he\u2019s tall. Consequently, the only thing President Tsipras achieves by constantly invoking his integrity is to spare us the trouble of listing his dishonest acts. And his constant boasting about his integrity is enough to make anyone realize that he lacks it. This stands in stark contrast to the vast sums of money required to fund his foundation and political party\u2014about which he stubbornly refuses to say a single word.<\/p>\n<p> <b>No logic<\/b><\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe opponent of New Democracy is PASOK, and those who want to replace it have failed in the past and will fail now as well,\u201d blurted out Milena Apostolaki, confirming that the main problem with PASOK\u2019s top officials is their disconnect from reality\u2014a reality in which, for the past 15 years, the New Democracy\u2019s only rival has been Jokondou\u2019s SYRIZA.<\/p>\n<p> <b>Yet another grassroots activist<\/b><\/p>\n<p> Jokondou\u2019s struggle against the system and the plutocracy continues with his joining ELAS (Jokondou\u2019s, not Michalis\u2019s) of the well-known grassroots activist Petros Kokkalis.<\/p>\n<p> <b>A question\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p> I\u2019m not surprised by the far-left, but as for PASOK comrades who (first and foremost Mayor Doukas) defend the squatters, I wonder how they can turn against cancer patients for whom accommodation facilities are planned to be built in Prosfigika.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By constantly invoking his integrity, Tsipras manages to spare us the trouble of listing his misdeeds.<br \/>\ntsipredimos (n.) 1. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13365,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
