The <b>&#8220;degree-holders&#8221;<\/b> who abolished the admissions basis for universities and had a minister of education without a degree are asking for credentials, <b>as Rouvicon once asked for ID cards by setting up roadblocks in some areas of Athens<\/b>, preferably near university institutions.<\/p>\n<p><b>What new fruit is this? <\/b>And it&#8217;s being adopted by&#8230; the leftists &#8211; which now includes PASOK, having left the Centre behind &#8211; who, if anything, have specific, supposedly specific views regarding education and literacy.<\/p>\n<p>They are targeting someone and asking for their degree. Let&#8217;s get past the fact that you don&#8217;t need a degree to be an MP in order for all citizens to have the opportunity to be elected and represent their fellow citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at the bigger picture. Someone starts off by accusing one MP &#8211; of the ruling party of course &#8211; and everyone else follows. And he has to provide them with the documents they demand. For what purpose? Because they want to. <b>These and the anonymous internet followers who contractually undertake the vilification of political opponents.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The <b>new Robespierre<\/b> go after political opponents by any means necessary. And if the accusations are false they believe that nothing happened in the &#8220;send them to prove their innocence&#8221; logic.<\/p>\n<p><b>Dimitris Markopoulos did not fall into the trap. He did not open a dialogue.<\/b> He did not go to the trouble of bowing down and making his degree public, which &#8211; as it turned out &#8211; both exists and has existed since 2012. And it turned out because the NAP in Patras issued a statement confirming the time of graduation.<\/p>\n<p>The tragedy is that even an MP was found to blame the NAP that it confirmed the graduation and not Dimitris Markopoulos himself who, in the opinion of his critics, should have rushed to do so after being asked to do so.<\/p>\n<p><b>The ND MP was right not to enter into a dialogue with the &#8220;swamp&#8221;. He had nothing to prove to anyone but his constituents whether or not he was representing them properly where he was sent, i.e. in Parliament.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Mr: Anyway, this story does no one any good. Unless the party MPs are all graduates or should be graduates. Unless in <b>Syriza<\/b> and PASOK in the past, ministerial associates were hired on the basis of degree alone, because somewhere the issue has gotten out of hand and at the end of the day it works in a way that underestimates the potential of working people who for whatever reason could not get into universities or could not afford to cover the costs of studying in areas far from their homes.  <\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is happening is beyond all logic and the case of the MP and parliamentary representative -now- of the Southwest, Dimitris Markopoulos, the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1698","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=1698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
