JULY 9, 20209
Athens continues to strongly support Angela Merkel's personal European course in the Balkans and the Mediterranean, damaging national interests with the United States.
In 30 years, as never before, the Mitsotakis Junior Government has abandoned the National Issue of Northern Epirus, leaving the territory to the Albanian Mafia and oligarchs, supporting Merkel's policies to join Albania in the EU, and selling their brothers. in Northern Epirus.
As a response to President Trump's government's resentment of Prime Minister Mitsotaki's government over the Greek government's repeated insults and attacks on the President of the United States, it is considered unacceptable by the US government to allow the Minister. of the Greek Defense to carry out an official programmed visit to Washington.
It is the second time that the visit has been canceled, but Greek Minister Panagiotopoulos justifies this decision, due to the situation with coronavirus.
It is obvious, and of course there is no reason in these moments, that due to pandemic, the US government will not agree to hold a closed meeting with the Greek Minister of Defense, while other visits have been made by heads of state and senior government officials. from other countries, these last weeks, in the US.
What does this mean?
It means that the US government lacks the will to enter into discussions with the Greek Minister of Defense and listen to his theses and positions, or even to dispose of someone from the US President's administration to hold courtesy talks.
On July 20 and 21, the Greek Defense Minister had scheduled an official visit to Washington, hosted by his American counterpart Mark Esper. This meeting was once scheduled for March 23, but was canceled due to pandemic, but today, it is canceled again, for the same reason according to the version of the Greek government.
The US side expressed indifference and reluctance to hold a face-to-face meeting between the two defense counterparts and other Trump administration ministers, leaving a "webinar" as a contact version for the Greek side, namely an online meeting.
The current American "cross" to the Greek side, telling her: "Don't call, we will call you."
It remains to be seen whether the online meeting will take place, because even that is not certain yet.
Both Trump and top administration officials "don't even want to look him in the eye" the Athens government, which they consider a "servant" of Berlin, with almost zero chance of pursuing an independent policy in Greece and wider in the Mediterranean Region.
Most conservative right-wingers in Greece consider it an insult not to meet with counterparts because of the Greek prime minister's misguided foreign policy and his commitment to the German chancellor, while his first strategic ally, partner and country. Greece has been and must remain a friend of Greece.
The time has come for Greece to look to America and the Trump administration and break free from the dependencies of a European Union in ruin and existential crisis, with member states that have essentially lost their sovereignty as they are run and ordered by the German chancellery. Source
