MIKIS THEODORAKIS' SPEECH
IN CHANIA, CRETE, GREECE (21.09.2011)
A serious
problem that we people are facing today is that we have not realized we are all
together in the same ‘ship’, named Greece. Therefore, we should be directly
concerned of the condition of the ship, as well as the voyage conditions. If
the engines stop, we also stop and if it sinks, we sink. Left party, right
party, rich, poor, indiscriminately all together. And in this ship we aren’t
passengers, but co-owners and thus, jointly responsible for its condition, its
course and its security. And precisely because most of us have not realized
this truth we were suddenly found, we the co-owners and jointly responsible of
this ship, stacked in its hold as if we were merchandise, while in the decks
foreigners are enjoying the sea breeze along with some of our ‘sharp-witted’
persons and in the position of captain another foreigner is placed as well,
along with Greek ministers and officers.
