A beating most Manolis Glezos

If I know someone who deserves to be considered a hero, is certainly Manolis Glezos.

Greek is a man of 88. When I was diecionueve starred in the first act of resistance to the Nazis Europe started the Nazi flag which the Germans had placed on top of the Parthenon in Athens. was tortured by the Nazis, but escaped. After he was sentenced to death eight times by successive fascist governments. He spent eleven years in prison. Returning democracy
left Parliament and as mayor tried an experiment of direct democracy that worked ten years in his hometown. He invented an ecological system to prevent droughts and floods. In 2007, over eighty years, personally fought forest fires in the Peloponnese .

few weeks ago was beaten and sprayed with gas in the face by Greek riot police while protesting wage cuts for workers. On the front row and peaceful attitude of protest. As a result of the gas (it's spectacular image of her hair stirred by the force of gas) was admitted to a hospital.

Manolis Glezos The figure is easily recognizable and not merely in mefórico nor only for his fame (although in the sixties was never released a stamp with his face ... in the USSR), but also their physical help.

is a big guy long white hair. Mustache. His speech is radical but peaceful. Not only keeps the flame of anti-fascist in his country, but is in favor of ordinary people and is one of them.

Greece allowed the luxury of an entire national hero (he is quoted in all textbooks from the school) walk down the street and riding the subway every day. And even the luxury of that police beat him.

The police who attacked him did not know him (when the Nazis were tortured Glezos twenty years to be born and when he was on death row during the Fascism, twenty). But he did know what was risked. It's a guy with over sixty years risking their lives daily by the things he believes. And above all, the things I think are decent and credible.

seems that once again has gotten out of this and left the hospital. Surely, to lie back on the street.

Sometimes you have a uncontrollable desire to go to Paxos and to sit and talk in a tavern anyone with Manolis Glezos. In such cases, the only thing the old fighter is endures not be asked again to count up the night as the mast of the Parthenon and stole the swastika flag. He says too long ago and defend what is not, by far the most important thing he has done in his life. Manolis Glezos
Obviously not a hero because one night in 1941 he risked his life to steal a Nazi flag. Is a hero because he has since sixty years sneak up daily by the people, for justice and decency. A great.
