In her article, the president of Free Shipping, Zoe Konstantopoulou, speaks of the withdrawal and annulment of the Left by those who declared themselves leftists in positions of power, simultaneously firing shots at Stefanos Kasselakis, whom she does not name, but “photographs”, writing “today when the excuses and alibis are exhausted and the king is completely naked, showing his wedding rings and smugly handing out online deletions to the cheers of his court, equally smugly scorning the latest pretenses.”.

In her intervention Ms. Konstantopoulou refers thoroughly to the values ​​and the political and social goals of the Left, but he does not hesitate to leave sharp points for the Left that “was bruised and trampled in the conscience of many, by those who declared themselves leftists from positions of power and made victims of the citizens who believed and they hoped”.

“The Left was dragged out and canceled so much that it no longer made sense to talk about the Left, since those who canceled it were also talking about the Left. Those who didn’t care about society and left it at the limits of existence,” says the head of Freedom Sailing to conclude that Freedom Sailing is the choice for citizens.

Zoe Konstantopoulou’s entire intervention:

What does Left mean? What does it mean to be a Leftist?
It means a lot. Which have nothing to do with yourself, but with others and first of all with the weakest.
The left stands for selfless struggle and toil and toil to improve the lives of people and first of all those who cannot, who find it difficult to defend themselves, who have no voice.
Left means fighting for democracy, for equality, for Justice and social justice. So that there is no person and no child who is deprived of the basic life goods.
Left stands for people over profits.
Left means Peace, not war and arms rally.
Left means fighting against racism, apartheid, sexism, all kinds of discrimination and exclusion.
Left stands for the rights of every person and recognizes all people as equal, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or illness.
Left means consistency of words and deeds, based on principles, values, ideals and a code of ethics that does not allow you to enrich or benefit at the expense of someone who is harmed or wronged.
Left means supply. Self-denial. Altruism.
The left stands for the defense of social goods and public goods. Of the collective conquests of the people. The right of every person to dignity and the guarantee of decent living conditions for all. It means defending the right to the first residence and to the family or personal home. The right to water and electricity. Access to public spaces and free movement.
It means defending the right to health, education, work, social security, social care, as fundamental social rights that cannot be circumvented under any pretext.
The left means defending the rights and dignity of workers against any arbitrariness, employer or state.
Left means questioning, claiming, collective, creating.
Left means Resistance.
It means defending the national rights of a people and a country and rejecting every conqueror and every overseer who seeks to impose himself by substituting the democratically elected representatives of the people.
Left means fighting for Transparency and Merit.
Left means supporting Public Education, Health and the right of access of all people to social services and public structures.
Left means search, freedom of speech, thought and conscience, respect for the different.
Left means fighting for the environment and the rights of future generations.
Left means fight against poverty, hunger, fight for decent life for all.
Left means action and action for man and for society.
For freedom.
Left means self-sacrifice.
The Left was damaged and trampled on the conscience of many, by those who declared themselves leftists from positions of power and made victims of the citizens who believed and hoped.
The Left was dragged out and canceled so much, that it no longer made sense to talk about the Left, since those who canceled it were also talking about the Left. Those who did not care about society and left it at the edge of existence.
In the face of this dangerous fraud, the most important thing was for society to stand up. To stand on her own two feet and regain confidence in her own strength. Not to be forcibly baptized leftist, at a time when it was no longer distinguishable what really is leftist.
Freedom Sailing was created to serve the principles and values ​​of the Left and humanism, without trying to impose a Leftist identity on the world.
We don’t look left or right, we look forward.
With this slogan, we called on society to believe in its own strength again.
But how is this combined with your own left-wing approach and course, they asked me.
And I always answered: I never hid my leftist identity and Freedom Sailing never hid its Principles, which are, after all, formulated in its founding declaration.
But it is more important to lift and unite society than to put labels on it.
Today I believe that Freedom Sailing and my own, difficult and often painful journey can be seen to be vindicated.
I preferred the path of truth and faith in the values ​​and ideals of the Left and despised privilege, power, opulence and chairs.
Today, when the people who believed and hoped and fought in the name of the Left, it is enough to look at where those who always had an excuse and an alibi for every violation of the non-negotiable principles of the Left ended up,
Now that excuses and alibis have run out and the king is completely naked, he shows off his wedding rings and smugly hands out online deletions to the cheers of his court, just as smugly scorning the latest pretenses
Today more than ever citizens need to know they have a choice
And that some of us, who have never stopped fighting for the many and speaking the truth, are there, we are standing and we are their voice, in society and in Parliament.
