“I do not speak as a politician. I speak as a citizen. I speak with the anger of an ordinary Greek who refuses to reconcile with a certain mentality, a certain operation, a certain Greece.

I refuse to reconcile with a place where an intertwined regime, extensive corruption, lack of meritocracy, and stagnation operate undisturbed. I refuse to reconcile with Greece of convenience, of superficiality, of quick gains, of unconsciousness, the Greece of the insiders and the opportunists.

This shipwrecked system of dominance in this land, plagued by advancing decay, carries an immeasurable cost in lost opportunities, wasted potentials, and unexploited prospects. This Greece, literally, cannot survive in the modern world.” [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
