People ask me: “How can they indict you for saying you took an ecstasy pill 36yrs ago in Australia? Are they mad?” No, folks, they are not mad. This has nothing to do with drugs, with the law, with anything related to my actual interview. It is a reflection of what has been happening to politics across the West, with Greek characteristics. Unlike in most other European countries, where new ultra-rightist parties emerged to undermine the traditional centre-right party (e.g., the AfD in Germany, Reform in the UK, Meloni’s Brothers in Italy or Le Pen in France), in Greece the mainstream Tory-equivalent party (New Democracy) remains dominant in the polls and in public discourse. The reason behind their success is that they kept the neofascists in their midst. Indeed, Mitsotakis, the PM, gave them top ministerial posts (e.g., Health, Migration) to keep them sweet. Keen to ensure that things stay this way, and that the neofascists do not form their own party, the PM has cut a deal with them: The PM and his neoliberal mainstream faction monopolise financial deals with the local and global corporate oligarchy, economic policy more generally. In exchange, the PM has handed over to the neofascists the ministries engaged in rightist culture wars (migration, family law, health, the phoney war on drugs etc.). The latter then use their authority to appeal to their electoral base by ensuring that the Greek Coast Guard causes migrants to drown in the Aegean, that the police shield the fascists, and that people like myself are harassed and dragged through the courts. In short, my ridiculous prosecution must be seen within the wider, West-wide, surge of an insidious new form of fascism. In this context, I am honoured by their determination to persecute me – as it grants me the privilege of calling upon people of good conscience, from around the world, to stand together, to oppose them. nytimes.com/2026/02/25/wor…

Israeli propaganda hides behind the specious argument that the flotilla "chooses to enter a war zone, to violate prohibited security zones." The Israeli gvt spokesperson said that "the military will take necessary steps to block its entry to the combat zone and enforce the lawful naval blockade. They lie shamelessly, as usual. The flotilla's ships are not entering a war zone or prohibited security zones. Last night, they were sailing in international waters south of Crete, where they were subjected to criminal harassment, with explosives and chemicals, by swarms of Israeli drones – attacks that fall under the legal definition of piracy. As for their final destination, they are heading towards a site of genocide on land (Gaza) that Israel is illegally occupying – and which the International Court of Justice, in June 2024, ordered Israel to evacuate. jns.org/israel-accuses…
