Hellenic Club of Friends of Crimea: "Mendoni has declared himself ambassador of the new McCarthyism"

"The EU decision to close down news agencies, such as Russia Today and Sputnik, by adopting ostensible moves by some of its member states for many months, reveals in the harshest way that we are entering a new dark age for Europe and for Greece. "With this decision, an economic coalition of states, which solemnly appears as a shield of freedom of the press and the free exchange of views and ideas, decides in the most formal way that it prohibits any other informative point of view," the Crimean Club continues.

"The fact that their 'sudden death' in Europe's digital space is hampering Russian propaganda in defense of objectivity is collapsing for anyone watching the one-sided presentation of the Western media, but also for anyone who remembers the BBC, Deutsche Welle and Majority of the public and private media in the West have been spreading US rumors of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction for months as a pretext for the invasion of Iraq by the Americans and their European allies - without anyone considering "black out" about these media, not even when it was solemnly revealed, with a report by the official state commission that investigated the behavior of the British government and the BBC in the Iraq war, that they have been knowingly broadcasting American propaganda tales for such a long time, "he added.

He notes that "the Minister of Culture (?) Lina Mendoni apparently decided to declare herself an ambassador of the new McCarthyism and Russophobia that is sweeping Europe today. There is no other explanation for the ban on any event of Russian culture in Greece by the Greek Ministry of Culture. Let the current government explain to us how Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky, Tolstoy and the Bolshoi Ballet, who catalyzed world human civilization, pose a "cultural danger" to Greek citizens. Ms. Mendoni's unjustified act and decisions to hate culture, literature and the arts can only be compared to the darker pages of the most extreme policies implemented in tragic times in Europe.

The Hellenic Friends of the Crimea Club puts "in the crisis of our society, what has already happened in France, Belgium and the Czech Republic - the expulsion of Russian students from the educational institutions they attended. Will Greece follow? But already Greek students in Ukraine and Russia, as well as Russian students in other Western countries, are facing a cut in the flow of foreign exchange that their families send to continue their studies - due to financial sanctions… In the crisis of our society, the great financial difficulties for Greek tourism, with the ban on the visit to Greece of hundreds of thousands of visitors from Russia. In the crisis of the Greek people, the ban from 2014 of the trips of the Greek expatriates of the Crimea to Greece due to travel sanctions against the Crimea. And obviously it continues for wider sections of the Greek community. In the crisis of the peoples, the current genocidal sanctions in 40 UN member states (1/5 of its members), mainly from the globalized Euro-Atlanticism. In the crisis of the Greek people, the decisions of the Greek government: In contrast to the immediate and necessary diplomatic and peaceful settlement of this global crisis and instead of sending medical and pharmaceutical equipment, the country is involved in NATO adventures with a mission of almost half a billion euros ».

Finally, he wonders "what will follow? Are pilots and helicopters from the "Greek section" of the NATO Immediate Intervention Force? The Greek government and the Ministry of Culture seem to be following in the footsteps of Huntington's 'culture gap'. However, whoever fools the abyss whistles in the rift, can easily be stunned… "
