The handwritten note left by Dimitris Christoulas, the 77-year old retired farmacist who committed suicide on Wednesday, april 4th, at Syntagma was nothing but a call for resistance. Needless to say, the comparisons of the present Greek government to the Tsolakoglou collaborationists in WWII didnt make it into the mainstream media. Nor did his observation that the government will meet a Mussolini-style end, right there, where he was about to end his own life, at Syntagma sqare.
The full text of Dimitris Christoulas suicide note:
The Tsolakoglou government has truly anihilated every chance of survival for me, based on a decent pension, for which I alone (whithout the state chiping in) have been paying for during 35 years.
Because my age does not allow me to take strong action (which I am not ruling out- if one Greek took up a kalashnikov, the second one would be me) I cannot find a solution other than a dignified end, before I start scrounging in the trash for food.
I believe that the young without future will one day take up arms and they will hang traitors upside down at Syntagma square, just as the italians did in 1945 to Mussolini.(Milan, piazza Poreto)
