Όχι Day Revisited



As I’ve mentioned before, on the 28th of October 1940, Greece — albeit through the medium of a dictator — said a firm ‘Όχι’ — ‘No’ — to the more powerful European countries which were trying to get Greece to behave in ways that suited them.

On the 5th of July 2015, Greece — this time the Greek people themselves — said a firm  Όχι’ — ‘No’ — to the more powerful European countries which were trying to get Greece to behave in ways that suited them.

The 28th of October has become a day of celebration of Greek Independence and National Sovereignty.  How about a second Όχι Day?
