One year ago, while in
Athens, Greece, I interviewed Mr. Dimitris Kazakis, leader of United Popular
Front (EPAM), a popular Left movement that emerged from the anti-memorandum
protests of 2011. Mr. Kazakis is an erudite speaker, a socialist economist, and
one who knows both the terrain of the social struggle and the high-end banking
sector in London where he worked for many years.
At the time, Mr. Kazakis was not very
optimistic about Syriza – the Left party governing Greece, if to say the least.
He warned that Prime Minister Tsipras has no intention of breaking with
austerity and that he will take on a new contract that will enslave the country
further. The interview was conducted in February 2015, but it took me months to
publish it since I wanted to give Syriza a chance. Mr. Kazakis was right. It
happened exactly as he said. One year later, on February 17, 2016, I met Mr.
Kazakis at the offices of EPAM in Athens again. Things are much worse in Athens
now.
