Vassilis Vasilikos wrote a book entitled “Z”, a letter-symbol of resistance against the dictatorship and in favor of peace.
In an interview with the newspaper taz, he states that he is deeply indignant that now the Russian war propaganda has understood.
“The ‘Z’ is a letter I loved long before I wrote my book, as it was the symbol of French trains and you could see it at all train stations. After the publication of the book and the film of Costas Gavras in 1969, “Z” became a symbol of the life and struggle of Grigoris Lambrakis, but of course also a symbol of world peace. (…) I feel disgust and sadness when I see it on Russian tanks. Because “Z” was a symbol against the colonels who consolidated their dictatorship in my country with tanks on April 21, 1967. Thus, “Z” was and is the opposite of the “philosophy” of tanks “.

In addition, as the correspondent of the newspaper in Greece, Gerd Heller, points out, Greece is becoming a “gas valve”, as it has been investing in liquefied natural gas infrastructure for a long time, expanding it en masse. The storage capacity of the Revythousa terminal near Athens, which has existed since 1999 and currently covers 43% of Greek gas imports, is increasing from 225,000 to 375,000. cubic meters, while new terminals are being planned near Corinth, Thessaloniki and Volos “.
