A couple of pictures I've taken during my stay in Greece. Those posters we're posted in student dorms and in the main hall of the university of Balkan Political Studies. They did have a dictatorship but it was quite a long time ago. The kids nowadays in universities did not got the taste of it, neither, likely, their parents got much taste of it. It ended in 1974. For me, as a Romanian, my parents and grandparents know about it and still we also have people that like it. Last time people lacked freedom (speech, religion, media, travel).
It terms of actual political influence of the left-wing (communist parties and the such) in Greece some figures I've got to know are like 33% of the Parliament, or 15%-25%. And there are also the right-wing parties, the fizzier ones. But this is common knowledge googleable to a certain degree (another subject all together).
I was really annoyed by this, but then again I was here for 3 months so I can't grasp what they have been through entirely. Then again, I was brought up to hate totalitarianism. There is a party organised by the communist party this weekend. Might as well go.
