1st edition: November 2022. Dimitris Stratoulis discusses the shocking historical events that took place in Greece during the first eight months of 2015, as he experienced them from positions of top political and governmental responsibility.
How and why these events occurred, what processes led the leadership of SYRIZA to capitulate to the creditors. The author approaches this hot period within the context of the then economic, social, and political developments in Greece, Europe, and globally, from the perspective of the "defeated," the Left Platform of SYRIZA, and those who in the summer of 2015 said the big "No" and did not cede the moral advantage of the Left to the system.
He chooses not to write a story "from above," only for the protagonists, but "from below," focusing on the real driving forces of society, the multifaceted popular interventions and mobilizations in Greece, Europe, and worldwide.
At the same time, he highlights the intense political, programmatic, and value-based struggle within SYRIZA, considering that the internal party processes and decisions of its leadership team, which played a decisive role in the course of events, were not a one-way street.
Without derogatory and abusive personal characterizations, he answers 45+3 questions and argues that, under certain conditions, things could have gone differently and that another path was possible.
The book primarily addresses the world of the Left, seeking to contribute to a fruitful reflection and reconsideration. It also addresses the youth.
