Watching yesterday the opening speech of the final phase of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s election campaign, I was pleasantly surprised to hear in her argument that “European integration is about the protection of human dignity” that Germans should stop targeting and stigmatizing Greeks as lazy and thieves… I congratulate Mrs. Merkel for her statement and I hope that other world leaders will follow her example.
Despotism aims to suppress, minds and the souls of the free, the dignity of the individual, the ability to think, the essence of life. And Mrs. Merkel knows that despotism can only lead to one outcome: Civilization and humanity to descend to chaos.
