Conservatives Win Landslide Victory in Greece

Greece's conservative New Democracy party won a landslide victory in Sunday elections, handing its leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis a second term as prime minister.
New Democracy's win in Greece's second election in five weeks inflicted a stinging defeat on their main rivals, the left-wing Syriza party.
Near complete results show New Democracy has won just over 40.5% of the vote while the Syriza, was struggling to reach 18% -- 2 percentage points lower than the last elections in May.
"With today's electoral result, Greece opens a new, historic chapter in its course," Mitsotakis said in a televised statement. Voters, he said, "gave us a strong mandate to move faster on the course of the big changes our country needs. In a loud and mature way they have permanently closed a traumatic cycle of lies and toxicity that held the country back and divided society."
...
Sunday's vote was held under an electoral system that grants a bonus of between 25 and 50 seats to the winning party, depending on its performance, which makes it easier for a party to win more than the required 151 seats in the 300-member parliament to form a government.

Conservatives and populists are winning a lot of elections lately as the neoliberal/neosocialist WEF claque becomes more and more discredited.

Something we need to hear in America, the former "land of the free."

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this week that Italy intends to set an example in aiding persecuted Christians around the world, insisting that "religious freedom is not a second-class right."
Meloni's statement came the day after a United Nations "expert" declared that when religious liberty clashes with LGBT rights, religious liberty must yield.
Freedom of religion or belief is compatible with equality for LGBT persons, Victor Madrigal-Borloz asserted in his June 21 address to the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, as long as religious groups embrace the claims of homosexual and transgender persons.
Religious narratives that clash with the beliefs and lifestyle choices of LGBT persons, however, are "beyond the scope of the right freedom of religion or belief," Madrigal-Borloz said.
In her videotaped statement, Meloni insisted that the opposite is true.
"One point is very clear," she said. "Religious freedom is not a second-class right; it is not a freedom that comes after others or can even be set aside for the benefit of new, so-called freedoms or rights."
...
Italy's first female prime minister stated:
Religious liberty is a natural right and precedes every juridical formulation because it is written in the heart of man. It is a right proclaimed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but still today it is trodden underfoot in too many nations in the world, too often in the face of almost total indifference.

12 Will they get the government to spend less, within its means, so it doesn't need to rely on EU largesse and control in order to keep the lights on?

Or will it just be more Greek-flavored corruption with a new color?

Talk about "bipolar."

Assuming that New Democracy is actually conservative (anyone to the right of Mao is a "conservative" by European standards), that's a hell of an example of "polarization." Syriza isn't merely "left-wing," it's radically socialist.

My cynicism is deep, and I assume that all but a handful of the elected "conservatives" are just concerned with getting their beaks wet in the corruption of government rather than advancing anything ideologically "conservative" (whatever the hell that means in Greece, it probably doesn't include dedication to Thomas Jefferson).

Best case scenario probably means a group of crazies who will break with the EU in Grexit, or something.

42 Freedom of religion or belief is compatible with equality for LGBT persons

Well, then, thanks for letting us know. There's no way to eliminate a belief short of democide, so I guess the alphabet people are going to have to go back to having the same rights everyone else does.

No, they aren't.

To take this position, you have to extend the thought to its root, which is that cultural issues as such are beyond the scope of religion. This is impossible, since that's actually one of religion's jobs.

So if this is your position, your position is that religion is out of scope for civilization as a whole - which is, I am sure, what he means.

45 It seems almost all of the conservative victories in Europe have something to do with taking a stand on immigration.

It used to be a very "conservative" free market position that we just let anyone come into any country. Plus conservatives have always been scared to be called racist, even though no matter what we do, we're still called racists.

149 This is pretty remarkable and will almost zero media coverage.

There has been a simmering feud growing between Serbia and Kosovo which has been almost completely ignored by both the Biden administration and the media. Kosovo had accused Serbia of kidnapping and imprisoning 3 police officers and was refusing to let them go.

So former Trump ambassador Ric Grenell hopped on.a place and flew to Kosovo and helped negotiate the release of the police officers and dial back some of the tension.

Grenell was one of Trump's less heralded but excellent appointments.

152 PBS News Hour, yesterday:

“With today’s electoral result, Greece opens a new, historic chapter in its course,” Mitsotakis said in a televised statement. Voters, he said, “gave us a strong mandate to move faster on the course of the big changes our country needs. In a loud and mature way they have permanently closed a traumatic cycle of lies and toxicity that held the country back and divided society.”

"His second term as prime minister “can transform Greece at a dynamic pace of development which will increase salaries and reduce inequality, with better and free public health care, with a more effective and digital state and a strong country,” he added.

We'll see. Minimum wage raised twice w/i a relatively short timeframe. There's only so many tourists & only so much peace between Greece & Turkey, and both and Russia..

I also pray that even if freedom gets utterly extinguished in this country, we've lit enough lamps of freedom in the world, that those ideas that founded our country are never fully extinguished.

They will then vote for a rabid leftwing party that promises to stop immigration but will, in fact, increase immigration because they want to.

249 More then Russia or any other nation, Turkey has the greatest chance of starting a real shooting war. They've dusted off the old Muslim playbook and are running the table. Everything from destroying Christian religious sites or artifacts to pushing territorial claims for which there is no material basis. Greece has been active in pushing back, but the conservatives will push back harder- and they should.

I don't know about the son, but the dad was trying to reduce govt and taxes to provide more economic opportunities for the citizenry. Andreas Papandreou, his predecessor and head of PASOK (his father founded it.) instituted a massive welfare state, onerous taxes and unions that basically shut down services to the country. In August of 1990, we had strikes led by PASOK that shut down transportation, garbage pickup, water and electricity for almost six weeks. It was awful.

Which illustrates one of the defining characteristics of left-wing totalitarian dictators vs right-wing authoritarian dictators.

The right-wing authoritarians don't give a shit what you think or believe, just as long as you obey and don't cause trouble. And they generally don't mind if you decide to go into exile to live in freedom.

The left-wing totalitarians expect you to not only obey, but to actually BELIEVE in their ideology. It's not enough to just live quietly and not cause trouble. And they freak the fuck out if you decide to go into exile, it often earns you a bullet in the brain pan.

Strikes at some organized U.S. Starbucks
stores started Friday in Seattle, after the coffee giant and the union representing baristas publicly clashed over claims that the company was not allowing Pride month decor in cafes.

The union, Starbucks Workers United, said more than 150 stores representing nearly 3,500 workers have pledged to join the strikes, which will take place over the next week. More than two dozen additional stores are voting on strike authorizations and the count could rise to nearly 200 stores by the end of the week, the union said.

Cases that had been in remission for years suddenly came back with a vengeance. I know two individuals that this has happened to, both staunch Covidians all the way. One guy's prostate cancer came back after the first 2 jabs, then he was treated and after some months he tested clear.

then after the 2nd booster his screening test for prostate cancer showed it had come back, but this time in his bladder. He's now being treated for bladder cancer.

Nick (real name) managed to close the account, getting the cash, leaving behind his station wagon and ladders and hit the bricks for the Old Country. Intel at the barber shop, from one of the local bank VPs said they wired Chemical for a confirmation, and they sent another $750K after Nick, Mrs. Nick and the kids went back for the good life. Local Greeks said Nick and family, he being from one of the little islands, was set.

New Republic, 19 June 2023, RFK Jr. Gives Away the Game With Decision to Speak at Moms for Liberty Summit. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. finally reveals who he has been all along.

(In part) Democratic presidential candidate and rabid anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has decided to take his 2024 campaign to new, extremist levels.

Kennedy will be a guest speaker at a Moms for Liberty gathering in Philadelphia next week, an event dubbed the “Joyful Warriors National Summit,” the nonprofit announced Tuesday.

Moms for Liberty has been labeled an extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC, for disguising its attacks on schools, teachers, and the LGBTQ community as “parental rights.” The group is especially famous for pushing bans on books ... It’s a broad ambush, “seeking to undermine public education holistically and to divide communities,” the SPLC’s Rachel Carroll Rivas told NPR earlier this month.

434 I suspect that governments can't do much to convince people to have more kids. Of course there are plenty of things they could do to stop making things worse.

But the problem is really a cultural one. The culture convinced women that they are better off partying in their 20s and being a corporate drone in their early/mid 30s which leaves almost no time for having kids.

The 50s had it mostly right - women who want to have kids should get married 18-20, then have kids, then look to a career in the corporate world if you still want it. And amusingly improvements in longevity have made the impact of delaying entering the formal workforce less and less.

At 35, for example, you likely still have 30 years to go be a drone if you want to.

473 320 307 Three weeks ago I wondered how long it would be before the trendy new magic bullet drug for effortless weight loss (Ozempic) would be repiorted to cause cancer, heart disease, dementia or ssome other horrible condition.

Turns out the answer was "three weeks".

(Anybody remember Fen-Fen and bad heart valves?)

==========

My lovely Mrs. takes Ozempic for diabetes and it works very well at controlling her blood sugar. The excess weight is starting to come off (slowly) as well.

When govt, Lame Stream Media, Hollyweird, and the education/indoctrination complex all get together and condemn 2 drugs that have been proven safe and effective for over 50 years in both man and beast; you can be assured that the drugs are still safe and effective. They want you dead.
4 horsemen of the apocalypse:
War
Famine
PESTILENCE
Wild Animals
We have seen that the first 3 are all caused by man. Another Moron posted that cancer is going to go off the charts - this is true and by design via the clot-shot. The Wuhan Lung Rot was created by very evil people as a scare mechanism to convince the bulk of the peeps to get jabbed with a time-bomb.

475 European conservatives are generally better than European Leftists, but we need to be careful not to over-celebrate "conservative" victories in Europe. Some European conservatives would be pretty much Left wingers in the U.S.

477 Of course Religious Liberty is not a 2nd Class Right in Italy - its not a Right at all.

Easiest way to know for sure is that there's a political leader proclaiming "Religious Liberty is not a second class right!" just like Nixon proclaimed, "I am not a Crook!"
