The narrative of the post-junta period resembles a thriller. The French would describe it as "noir" or "hard." Therefore, it could not have a happy ending. It starts brightly, then darkens, followed by the deep night of crisis.
Initially, Konstantinos Karamanlis initiates a democratic transition that becomes a model for other countries beyond our continent. But this is where the good news ends. Greece now falls into the hands of an old generation of politicians who dominated before the odious dictatorship. Political life does not renew itself.
Karamanlis abandons the New Democracy party to its own devices. Andreas Papandreou, the most talented among the politicians, proves to be a populist and derails the economy. Mitsotakis is inadequate and outdated. Simitis and Kostas Karamanlis represent missed opportunities. In the face of the crisis, George Papandreou is fateful.
Samaras, a politician from another era, fails. Tsipras tries to mature, at a high cost for the country. Politicians and parties lose value. And the country? It drags on with a failing state, an extremely inadequate political elite, and a self-destructive culture of polarization.
