Leonidas Palaiodimos wrote that M. Rubio did not go to the Pnyx to thank the Greeks for Democracy, but to present an ideological manifesto. According to him, Rubio highlighted patriotism, ambition, rivalry, courage, and desire for the unknown, placing particular emphasis on what he called "anger." Palaiodimos noted that during the speech, these virtues were connected to the journey from Athens and Rome to Christian Europe and western dominance. He added that Rubio warned about the guilt towards history, homeland, and nation, as well as about policies that prevented losses, international bureaucracy, deindustrialization, mass immigration, weakening of defense, and cession of sovereignty. As Rubio's proposal, Palaiodimos described the return to a nation that was not ashamed of its power and collaborated without ceding its sovereignty. He estimated that Rubio spoke as a representative of a hegemonic state and presented the manifesto of the then American government. He also added that he believed his words were liked by the Greeks, while he stated he was unsure of the reaction of the "so-called elites." #Δημοκρατία #Πατρίδα #Ιστορία (translated)
