Once upon a time I voted for him.
It was the first election of 2012, after his departure from New Democracy.
He played it hard anti-memory.
My reasoning was as follows.
Panos will form a government with Samaras and will play it tough. He will put the red lines.
At the same time the pasok was tottering and the couchettes were just starting to appear on the horizon.
I judged that there was no possibility of canceling the memorandum even in the unlikely event that we were going to the drachma,
austerity would be equally harsh.
But for me the issue memorandum intensity it was approachable.
If we had a new Christos from Patisia who said "I voted for it but didn't read it", I wouldn't believe it.
With the same rationale as mine, others voted for Fotakis then.
I saw Panos for red lines, others saw Fotakis.
It doesn't matter that there were never any red lines, no blue lines, no pink lines.
That's how I saw it then.
But Panev immediately after the elections of May 12 started the madness.
He flirted with the couch potatoes - who then became close friends with each other of course.
So we did nothing.
Half abandoned him and voted for Samara at that stage, but Panev in the opposition instead of thinking
he continued to do so and eventually became Tsipras' running mate, narrowly making it into parliament both times.
But today he has become a disgrace to society, especially with his attitude in Skopiano.
Tsipras has not become one because he himself has always been a watchdog.
His people, the 3%, in 1993 had stunned us because, he says, we didn't get along with the Tito regime
so many years but ... we remembered it now. As if this is a reason to support Skopje!
This was the odd line of the left in those years (as opposed to that of tomorrow's Pasok which became
... ultra-Macedonian fighters).
But while the leftists more or less continue their old, anti-national ways, Panev has become the biggest
of the Greek Parliament of all times.
