How is the secret war of powers evolving within the New Democracy party? What are the relationships between the fourth estate, party power, and major business interests? In this book, Georgios Kyrtsos seeks to answer these questions by breaking the law of silence and avoiding superficial chatter.
He addresses what most public figures deliberately keep silent about, while simultaneously grounding his arguments in logic and facts. The author has three main strengths: an excellent knowledge of a field he has been operating in for decades, strong analytical capabilities, and courage.
He unravels the thread of the secret war of powers by also opening the book about his own life. A protagonist in the most significant publishing success of the last twenty years - transforming the Eleftheros Typos into the largest circulation newspaper in Greece for several years - an informal advisor to Prime Minister Konstantinos Mitsotakis, an architect - in publishing and journalistic terms - of Kostas Karamanlis' rise to the leadership of New Democracy, and a voice for intra-party dissent.
A target of major business interests and the information system they control, a part of the crisis of what is known as partisan press, especially Eleftheros Typos, Georgios Kyrtsos has taken on roles that make his narrative interesting.
He is strict in his judgment of everyone, even himself. It is certain that his narrative, analysis, and conclusions will be intensely contested. A proponent of continual creative rupture in the name of freedom of expression and political and social inquiry, the author confirms throughout the pages of his book that he is one of the last protagonists of public life who are not bound and predictable.
