This time the initiative belongs to prominent personalities of the Greek left who yesterday declared the creation of the ‚United Popular Democratic Resistance‘ — E.LA.DA. in Greek language, an acronym which literally means „Greece“. The idea belongs to two legendary figures of the country‘s modern history: the internationally renowned composer Mikis Theodorakis and Manolis Glezos, a second World War resistance hero. Speaking to an audience at Athens‘s Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, they both declared that the establishment of a nationwide resistance movement against the economic austerity and policies consists a „national need“, as long as Greece passes a „national tragedy“.
