“What a shaaaame, no ethics, nothing” Marina calls me the minute the unity government talks officially failthrough. And Konstantina calls me little later laughing out loud “He addressed the people and paid farewell. Is he still a prime minister? is he? hahaha! Unbelievable!” Spyros describes the whole as “A pure disgust!” The long day of government talks, scenarios, puzzles, rumors, angry PASOK ministers & MPs over allegedly new PM Petsalnikos and outraged opposition party leader Karatzaferis ended at 8 p.m. with a total fiasco. Not to forget that NHalf Greece is laughing, the other half is crying watching the political system committing suicide. A typical manic-depressive situation in a country where politicians have lost the last drop of trust in the eyes of the people.
Immediately the twitter got fire:
@Rodia300: The theater of the Absurd runs in high speed
@vassilisonline: It’s more easy for George and Antonis to catch the moon than to agree – have mercy! http://pic.twitter.com/3xKaXPKf
@marie_la_bas: A whole political system collapses in front of our eyes and we don’t move even a finger
@inikos7 : Do :Like” in FB page of Greek parliament and enter the contest “become PM”.
i wonder when they were friends in college did they take this lon gto decide who would pay the bills, or who would flirt with which girl? who would get which room in their apartment? if they were planning a party what theme or venue to use. cos if thats the case im guessing they never left the room cos of the contstant arguing.
There is another possibility. It is almost unbelievable that two erstwhile friends are hating each-other so much that they are so completely absorbed by it that they let a whole country go to hell for it. There is just one thing that comes to mind able to cause this. The phrase “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned” is constantly playing through my mind…
