Δικηγορία

Στα χρόνια της Τρόικας, όπως τα ζούμε σήμερα, τα συντεχνιακά συμφέροντα πολλών επαγγελματικών κλάδων δέχονται πιέσεις και "συμπιέσεις". Μέσα στις "ανακαλύψεις" των τελευταίων ετών, αναδύθηκε και το "πρόβλημα" του δικηγορικού επαγγέλματος μέσα στην ελληνική κοινωνία. Ξαφνικά, το δικηγορικό επάγγελμα έπρεπε να "ανοίξει" και να καταργηθούν πραγματικά ή πλασματικά επαγγελματικά προνόμια των δικηγόρων. Μέσα στην "αρένα" των στοχοποιημένων προσώπων της μεταπολιτευτικής Ελλάδας, προστέθηκε προς τέρψη των "αιμοδιψών" πολιτών και η εξυγίανση του κλάδου των δικηγόρων. Τελικά, ποια είναι αυτά τα συμφέροντα που έπρεπε να εξαλειφθούν από τους δικηγόρους και για ποιο λόγο;

Δυστυχώς, από τότε που τελειώνοντας τους σπουδές μου άρχισα τη γνωριμία με την ελληνική δικαιοσύνη και το επάγγελμα του δικηγόρου, κατάλαβα το πόσο ήδη απαξιωμένοι ήταν οι δικηγόροι τόσο στα μάτια τόσων των ίδιων των συναδέλφων τους όσο και στα μάτια των πολιτών. Η "χαβούζα" των δικαστηριακών αιθουσών,

This is...Greece! (Part 2)

After the "Dirty 1989", the conservative party tried to impose a new political and macroeconomic ethos. Everything should be sold...privatizations. The elected government thought that privatizations of State Companies (Electricity Power, Water Supply, Industrial etc), that had already become the "palace" of the Unions and occupied thousands of Greek citizens, will promote the development of the Greek Economy and the start of the Capitalist Era in Greece. However, this effort ran into a "wall", that was built by the opposition parties in the Parliament and the Trade Unions. Huge strikes and demonstrations led to the overthrown of the conservative party within three years of its regime. Members of the Conservative Party and the Government were leaving and the Prime Minister was forced to go into new elections. Meanwhile, the war in the former Yugoslavia started and ended with the Greek Government issuing its neutralism, although most of the Greek population were sympathetic to the Orthodox Serbian people. When the war was finished, most of the neighbouring countries suffered the consequences, i.e. refugees, hunger, nationalism. A new-born State of the former Yugoslavia decided that its name can unite its weak and poor people under a nationalist "umbrella" and called their country "Macedonia", the birth place and Kingdom of Alexander the Great. Since then, Greece and Skopije (as Greece recognises them) are in a continuous controversy and although now the U.N. officially recognised Skopije as FYROM (former Yugoslavic Republic of Macedonia), many other countries have already accepted the name "Macedonia" officially. Every Greek Foreign Minister heirs this controversy and although Greek Businessmen have already developed their activities to this neighbouring country (low labour cost), the politicians are still trying to find the solution to this controversy under U.N. supervision [I cannot be objective in this matter, since History states that Ancient Macedonia was a Greek Empire as it is proved by the archaeological findings only in Greek territory.]  

Greek people were affected by this controversy and maybe is still one the major problems that Greeks are united. The new elections in 1992 brought the old socialist Prime Minister back into the power and was
