PRESS RELEASE 25-3-2009
Theodoros Tenezos is now running the 41st Day of his Hunger Strike,in front of the Athens offices of the Greek Antitrust Authority, the Greek Competition Commission.
With a totalitarian type illegal method ,the Greek government has attempted AGAIN yesterday to use violence in order to terminate the Athens Antitrust Hunger Strike.The attempt was announced by a Greek TV channel 10 minutes before it happens! Using an illegal methodology that have been used historically only by totalitarian type of third world countries, the Greek government sent AGAIN an Ambulance in order to force to move the Hunger striker and transfer him without his consent, «for treatment» in hospital!
The resistance of Theodoros Tenezos was AGAIN immediate. He categorically refused to move, citing constitutional rights, international treaties and decisions of international organizations that protect the freedom of management of the human body by the individual, which is refering to basic Human Rights.
Given the general reaction and outcry of the citizens who rushed to support him, the government abadoned its violent and illegal attempt to terminate the piecefull Antitrust protest, withdrawing police patrol and «ambulance».
Note the huge international outcry in the past, caused by such illegal actions of “official” totalitarian regimes of third world countries..
Volunteers defense team for the protection of the Antitrust Hunger Strike has now been installed on 24-hour basis in the place of the strike.
There is a call from the Greek Civil Society members for a peaceful support of the Antitrust Hunger Strike,using candles next Friday night 8:30.
The Internet is playing now a huge role in the citizens information, since an incalculable now number of blogs and websites throughout Greece and all over the world are re-broadcasting from central Athens the Antitrust Hunger Strike.
STOPCARTEL TV that transmits this pioneering Antitrust Protest 24/7 from central Athens for the last 40 days,is now in the TOP 10 list of the most popular web channels, of the worlds famous webtv plattform MOGULUS, hosting over 150.000 web channels from every country of the planet.
The open letter delivered to the Greek Prime Minister by Theodoros Tenezos (with official notifications of the President of the Republic and the political leaders) became known in Greece, through all major internet blogs and hundreds of blogs operating from every part of the country.Nothing can be hidden anymore...
Despite this, serious questions raises the continued absolute silence of the Greek media, which have found not even a word to say on the Hunger Striker s letter to the Prime Minister, a document conserning the public, because of the status of the recipient and its serious content.
AN OFFICIAL PROPOSAL OF THE GREEK CIVIL SOCIETY FOR A NATIONAL FORUM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The full text of the Official Proposal will be published soon for the attention of International Community.
Organizations and members of the Greek Civil Society signing STOPCARTEL s initiative, have submmited in public yesterday a proposal for an urgent National Forum in order to confront the current crisis and build a new social ,economic and political inviroment, able to accomodate the needs of all Greek citizens.
Greek Civil Society calls on the Academic and Business community, Political institutions and Social partners at a National Forum.
It is obvious that almost all members of the Greek political system are not able to handle even simple individual crises that affect the citizens.This is due to the structure of the economic and political system of this country.This fact makes this initiative of the Greek Civil Society a must..
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
The Hunger Striker demands from the Greek government:
1.Full investigation of his Antitrust complaint against the steel cartel.
2.Replacement of the present commitee that has been sued by him in the criminal courts for illegal practices of protection of the steel cartel and other cartels.
3.Protection of the people complaining against cartels who suffer serious consequenses ,after submiting their complaints.
Mr. Tenezos,above that, is demanding from the Greek Government and the Greek Competition Commission to terminate their protection to the cartels which dominate the Greek economy, a practice that left this country unprepared and unprotected to confront the present economic crisis and the Greek people exposed to poverty and dispair.
The solution is simple:Meet the legal demands of the Hunger Striker as soon as possibe, before he looses his life in front of your building! If the members of the steel cartel of Greece do not allow you to do so, then resign now!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Official Antitrust Complaint against the Greek government has been submitted by STOPCARTEL Organization to the European Commission.This has been announced yesterday by the chairman of the Organization Dr. George Cosmopoulos, during a Press Conference in Athens.STOPCARTEL Organization is accusing the government for the protection that has been offered to the Greek cartels over the years.
The executioners of the Greek bussinesmann who is on Hunger Strike for th last 34 days protesting against the protection of the cartels,namely the government and the Greek competition commission ,are directly responsible for his life.This has been stated again yesterday by the legal advisors of the Hunger Striker and civil society s organizations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The criminal silence of the government and the existing black out of the big Greek Media, that ,with very few exceptions of limited range TV stations and small news papers, refuse to inform the citizens about the Hunger Strike and the Hunger Striker s demands,reflects the diseased function of the Greek state.Greece is under the complete control of the big corporations and the local cartels they have formed for decades,stealing the limited income of Greeks.
Greek Enviromental,Consumers Organizations and other members of the civil society continue to express their support to the Protest over the last two days.
The Greek Parties of Democratiki Anagenisi and Ecologists-Green have also expressed their support to the Hunger Striker.
There is a massive response from everywhere in the world, because this Antitrust protest conserns all citizens-consumers in every country.It is known worldwide that big corporations have formed over the years international and regional cartels, dominating the economies and leading to the present international crisis.
Athens Antitrust Hunger Strike is a signal of action to the civil society, politicians and honnest bussines people to create a new economical,political and social enviroment ,able to provide welfare for all!
