The Greek Parliamentary Elections of 2009; a mirror-image of the present “Political Culture” of the country. (Part D)
To be able to better understand the present “chaotic” situation in Greece’s “Political Culture”, we would first have to record, clarify and then analyze the “real events”, political, social and economic which contributed towards the liberation of part that country’s territory (Central Greece, Peloponnesus, the Cycladic Islands in the Aegean Sea) from Ottoman rule, leading to the creation of the first modern Greek nation-state in 1830. What becomes evident early on, is the fact that most of the “official” Greek Historiography which refers to Greece’s struggle for Independence( in essence initiated late in the 18th century), withholds or ignores purposefully all the historical data which demonstrates a lack of a “common” national consciousness and fighting spirit by the majority of the “protagonists” of the Revolution against Ottoman political tyranny which had lasted for almost 400 years.
