Veteran politician and famous music composer Mikis Theodorakis lashes out against the coalition government of left-wing SYRIZA and nationalist Independent Greeks. In a text uploaded on his personal website on the day the Greek government votes on 5.6-billion austerity measures bill, Theodorakis speaks with hard words against the government describing it as “left-right political construct” and accuses it that it obeys the dictates by foreigners.

Theodorakis describes the coalition government as “a Left-Right-wing political construct of overwhelming electoral and popular minority, that obeying the foreigners’ dictates it destroys the present and the future of our country unscrupulously, weak-willed, arrogantly and without shame and apparently in full consciousness of the harm it causes.”
