The interview of historian Vasiliki Lazos on the militaire channel about the events of December 1944, provoked a "lively" discussion. We refer to all the opinions that were expressed well-intentioned and with arguments. Many are the questions that citizens ask about the events of December 1944. The discussion and concerns obviously extend to the tragic events that followed. In the studio of the militaire channel, journalist-author Dimitris Konstantakopoulos continues the discussion about one of the "difficult" historical events that marked the country. As always, his analysis is without "rounding off". “There is a red line that connects Mavrokordatos, the Mavromichalians who assassinated Kapodistrias, those who beheaded the leader of ELAS, those who betrayed Cyprus… They ensured that Greece would be a colony first of the British and then of the Americans… In the social field, we moved on to the Kotzabasis, the Mavragorites and the dosilogos who are today the ruling economic class,” says Mr. Konstantakopoulos. Mr. Konstantakopoulos begins the story not from December 3, but from what happened during the occupation. At that time, some either left the country, some stayed and collaborated with the Germans, enriching themselves, and some fought, creating the most important resistance movement in all of Europe. The former returned "unscathed" and took power, along with the latter, whose descendants still reach very high in the country's power pyramid today. The latter were "rewarded" for their resistance, with executions, persecutions, exiles and relentless social exclusion. *Support the Militaire.gr channel on YouTube, by clicking on the JOIN button.
