It is the Friday edition of the program “Time in Greece”, Back in the Day… takes us 50 years or half a century into the past. We leaf through “Eleftherotypia” newspaper. And back then, too, it was a Friday.
We read the news of the time and discover…
- The Palestinian issue, already at an impasse, with Yasser Arafat calling for recognition and respect for Palestinian rights… territorial claims from Israel, indifference from the international community… The same story, the same denominator, half a century ago.
- The political clash of the government, with Konstantinos Karamanlis fiercely attacking the opposition parties.
- The trial of the junta torturers.
- A murder in Kilkis, where the victim was targeted with a hunting rifle.
- A workplace accident in Pelion with four dead…The same old story continues with inadequate protection and safety for workers, fifty years later.
- The Ellinikon airport, disturbing the residents of the surrounding areas.
- Kostas Voutsas feeling trapped “inside a cage.”
- The sensational transfer of Thomas Mavros and the disputes between AEK and Panionios… written by Faidon Konstantoudakis.
Finally, a powerful article by Mikis Theodorakis denouncing the dictatorial structure of the government.
