Professor Emilios Avgouleas profiled in Greece's leading Sunday newspaper supplement

Professor Emilios Avgouleas was profiled by the magazine (Kapa) of the leading and oldest Greek newspaper Kathimerini on Sunday.

Emilios severely criticized the cronyism and corrupt practices that have characterised the country’s public life for the past twenty years and stated that the only way out of the crisis is a constitutional assembly and a new constitution. Emilios praised the adherence of the peoples of the British islands to unwritten customs, constitutional conventions, and ethical values and drew parallels between the unique custom of the British nations to honour the war dead on an annual basis, e.g., Remembrance Day, and a similar custom in Ancient Athens, e.g., Thucydides Epitathios.

This he said is only one example of why Hellenism as a global ideal of democracy, citizen rights, and rationality in the perception of nature and human institutions is well enshrined in the DNA of humanity and is not in danger by the raging Greek crisis.

Emilios concluded that only with necessary and painful governance reforms Greece will find again its place among the most developed nations and return to the path of growth.
