European Press Prize’s Post

Thursday we celebrate 50 years of democracy in Portugal, 50 years since the end of the dictatorship! We should cherish this day every day. Freedom of speech, freedom of movements, freedom of faith is fundamental for the development of Society as a whole, just like of each individual. Too frequently, we are mixing the current disarray of our Society with democracy. But democracy is not the cause. On the contrary, democracy allows to highlight inequality and injustice and act upon them, which is not the case in an autocracy. In autocracy and dictatorship, the problems are hidden and communities oppressed, all to project a semblance of harmony. Today, many democracies are facing an “identity crisis”, precisely because Democracy is not about Identity: it is about Ideas! Long life to our Democracy! Long life to the freedom of Ideas! Long life to Portugal! 25 DE ABRIL, SEMPRE!

Georgia Meloni is the definition of a Great Leader, in Australia we only have 2 leftist governments and 1 Centrist Government. The Prime Minister of Australia "Anthony Albanese" needs to understand the beginning of a Alt-Right future for Gen z and it's clear and seemingly inevitable rise. Nationalism, Economics, Institutionalism and Meritocracy are the biggest principles that should coexist with Democracy and Capitalism. This also require Freedom of Speech/Political Expression, as well as a fair election system that isn't rigged by the deep state (Unelected Bureaucrats).

To understand Germany's politics in the Middle East since 1945, the self-interested "why" and "evolution" of its support for Israel, its so-called "Staatsräson": watch the full interview (youtube) with Daniel Marwecki, the German historian who wrote the book on the subject. Spoiler, its: - NOT much about taking responsibility/reparation/absolution for the Holocaust-atrocities, holding their Nazi perpetrators to justice, or even compensating the individual victims - BUT it is very much about the German Federal Republic's systematic whitewash of its Nazi elite's past/present from 1945 onwards, and enabling its Nazi elite to flourish in politics, judiciary, diplomacy, business, etc., in post war Germany. -> To allow this Nazi elite to die in peace out of old age, with full pensions, amidst the love of their heirs & descendents. Noteworthy: 1. The resultant ongoing dilemma for Germany: "Staatsräson & international law are mutually exclusive, ...a dilemma that cannot be bridged...for Germany the commitment to Israel has always been about an Israel that existed in the German mind, always a construction, an idealised version, and in that sense it shares a few aspects with anti-semitism which also relies on imagination that has more to do with the one doing the projecting than the objects of the projection."

Yet, "At the end of the day, ...Staatsräson can mean many things, it could mean sending German planes to Tehran, or it could mean calling for a ceasefire in Gaza...but THAT IS A POLITICAL CHOICE."

Freedom is not a mere matter of political decision or new constitutions….it is of the mind and heart and if the mind narrows itself and is befogged and the heart is full of bitterness and hatred, then freedom is absent.
