Liberal Alliance press release 5 September 2008
Liberal Alliance (Greek Liberals) will join its forces and defend any citizens or politicians who with their actions of defiance and resistance, help the acceleration of the collapse of the current corrupt political establishment.
Prime Minister's threats for striking out of his party, and for calling early elections in case any MP votes against a Government bill, reveal the dire political situation that he is in, because of the corruption scandals that members of his cabinet see the light of publicity almost daily.
Most of these scandals involve politicians accused of getting richer by running State-owned Businesses and Funds, and by the entanglement of these with dubious private businesses, where the same politicians have an interest in.
For Liberal Alliance corruption will continue as long as the State maintains its business activities and as long as a political career means easy access to wealth but no guaranty of punishment.
It is becoming more and more clear that as long as State controls Companies, Pension Funds, Health and Education, holding public office will yield power that can be easily abused.
A career in politics attracts the populist and the free-rider resulting in the current penury of expertise and principles of today's Greek political establishment.
Liberal Alliance submits that the withdrawal of the State from every business activity it is currently involved with, will deprive the ulterior motives for any unscrupulous politicians currently found in all the political parties as the State will no longer possess this amount of wealth. A politician's reason to enter politics should not be to escape from poverty or to satisfy their greed.
Implementing Liberal Alliance's proposals for the Economy will redefine the role of the politician not as someone who serves his own career development and finances but as someone who serves public interest. It is only logical that as political activity drains on one's resources with out tangible benefit for one's shelf that a career in politics will result in someone getting poorer not richer.
