From NO to ja ..

Good morning.

Most (unfortunately) would expect another day with betting passes. Not today. I will not extend myself with personal comments about the day but also what it symbolizes for me since the whole history of our homeland is lost in all other 364 days of the year by all "Newly Hellenes" in their everyday life either through silence and tolerance or by complicity to their own benefit.

It is a pity that Greece can not do what was done recently in Wolfsburg. There they drove him away Felix Magat, a man with obsessions that others always struggled with, while in success he was proclaimed a mentor. So, in Greece, instead of dealing with the first thing to correct our own skull, to "kneel" back in the history of our culture and learn from our past and DNA, we prefer to preserve our own and our achievements our family at any cost. If we need to be silent We will do it. If we need to become accomplices We will do it. But all this it is enough to win for us. This is the core of the "New Greek" thought. Shame that Jim Carrey got into their copyright with "YES MAN". The next target could be "YES woMAN". I think they have all the guarantees for an overproduction that will write "story". Moreover, the "New Greeks" have inexhaustible talent in words without cost and in the powder.

Because as I have rewritten we live in strange times of historical consciousness and knowledge, let us remember to young people and to "young Greeks" how we got to 28 in October. I wish you to pass well and family today. At the bottom of the page are the suggestions, which are custom (time) in the speciality of the day (SUNDAY 28 OCTOBER).


"" ... The Anniversary of "NO" concerns Greece's denial of the Italian claims on a telegraph that was handed over to 28 October 1940, to the Greek Prime Minister, resulting in the country's entry into the Second World War and the start of the Greek-Italian war of 1940.

This date was established to be celebrated in Greece each year as an official national holiday and a public holiday.

In the early morning hours at 28 October 1940, the Italian Government then sent an ultimatum to Greece, through the Italian Ambassador to Athens, Emanuele Gracci, who handed it to the Greek Prime Minister, John Metaxas, at his second home in Kifissia and required the free passage of the Italian army from the Hellenic-Albanian border in order to then acquire some strategic points of the Kingdom of Greece (ports, airports, etc.) for refueling needs and other facilities, in its subsequent promotion to Africa.

After reading the text, the Greek Prime Minister turned his gaze to the Italian Ambassador and replied in French (official diplomatic language) to the historical phrase: "Alors, c'est la guerre" (meaning war), thus manifesting a negative position on the Italian demands.

Gracci himself in his memoirs, published by 1945, describes the scene: "I have a mandate, Prime Minister, to give you an announcement and I gave it the document. I watched the emotion in his hands and his eyes. With a steady voice and watching in steadily, Metaxas told me: this means war.

I replied that this could be avoided. He replied NO. I added that if General Papagos ... Metaxas interrupted me and said: NO!

I walked down with the deeper respect, before my elder, who preferred sacrifice instead of enslavement. "

The Greek Prime Minister at that time had expressed the Greek popular feeling, the refusal of submission, and this refusal was passed to the Greek press press at the time with the word "NO".

Two hours after the above performance, the Greek-Italian war began with the invasion of the Italian troops in Epirus, so Greece defended itself in the war.


The celebrations of 28 October

The so-called "Epic of Saranta", which followed, and the great victories that the Greek army defeated at the expense of the Italians, was established every year on 28 October, the day of the rendition of the Italian telegraph and the refusal of Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas to consented.

Note that Greece celebrates 28 October to enter the war, while most other countries celebrate the end of the war.

Every year this day is held in Thessaloniki, the official feast of all splendor, in the presence of the President of the Republic and other officials, with a great military parade that coincides with the celebration of the liberation of the city during the First Balkan War and its memory patron saint of Saint Demetrius. In Athens and other cities school parades take place, while public and private buildings raise the Greek flag .... "
