On November 11, Stelios Panagiotakis who lives on the Cretan village Mourne on Agios Basilios will be 100 years old. He has lived a century where major national events defined the Modern Greek history. He has lived through wars, disasters, dictatorships, civil wars and now he experiences the economic collapse of his country.
As he said in madeincreta.gr, he is really sad for the present situation of his country that has suffered and been tortured by many invaders who were in collaboration with the minions who were always in abundance.
Born in 1913, a year where the momentous event of the Union of Crete with Greece took place, he is now deeply frustrated because the Greeks accept the imposed measures. He concludes that “we do not have a powerful man to place in the government.” For this reason “we are doomed” and concludes “in our government, one politician was worse than the other.”
He stated also that: “the current situation was caused by those who took advantage of the country and of its wealth. If someone steals his own worth then he has lost himself and his values. Then, what do you expect now? I wish the best for my country but I don’t see that it will happen now. We lack the leader who loves Greece more than his own self-interest.”
