“Today’s regime is leading the homeland on the rocks,” says former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in the preface of Yiannis Balafa’s book “The Rise … The Fall … Tomorrow … SYRIZA-PS. TIME 2012 – 2024 »presented today.

Alexis Tsipras explains: “Rocks of economic, social, national, value. And this in today’s conditions, where we see the tectonic plates of world geostrategy violently moving violently, there is enormous risks, not only for the economy but also for democracy in the country, for its place in the world, and even for its integrity. Risks that those who feel the winners of that difficult period (2012-2024), after recovering in power and neutralized their main opponent, are unable to distinguish. Or, even worse, they use them as an alibi for the depreciation of institutions, the rule of law, justice, and for extensive corruption, speculation under the state of the state, the social faults that their policy opens. “

Referring to Yiannis Balafa’s book, he notes: “In these conditions, a clear look at yesterday is a prerequisite for a course of security and progress in tomorrow. The objective and cool approach to the events, the restoration of historical truth about what shocked us during the crisis, and especially for the moments of the great rebellion of our people, the victories and the defeats, is a valuable contribution. Not only in the forces of progress but also to those who realize how dangerous for the place it is for the story to try to rewrite the winners. How dangerous and how futile, because history lasts much longer than the political time in which their feasibility are included. And many times those who have brutally distort it, soon and usually suddenly realize how useless their aspirations are and how early their laurels. “

In closing, he emphasizes the need “for a new step from the Left and all the country’s democratic and progressive forces. A gait that removes from yesterday’s stereotypes and approaches new needs by new means of organization, democracy, determination and unity. “
