“In today’s critical juncture – without we have predicted it, others, you see, they have taken care of it – we celebrate the 100 years of Mikey, Like he would like it. Song and race will become one.
Two concepts, fully merged into a historical concert that objectively takes the meaning of a historical demonstration, a historical popular rally, to condemn the war and the forces selling the peoples “in the bazaar of the robber” and “of”. Of the forces that “play our dice our lives”, “In the Bazaars of the whole earth”, to remember the so -called song by Mikis Theodorakis and Manos Eleftheriou, stressed by the KKE CC Secretary General, Dimitris Koutsoubas, In tonight’s speech at the crowded Kallimarmaro Panathenaic Stadium at the big concert organized by the KKE JU and the family of music composer for the 100th anniversary of the birth of M. Theodorakis.
“Today’s concert, with its large volume and pulse, from things, acquires a dimension of the demand to end the inhumanity of the thousands of uprooted, drowned, extinct of the wars most of us are in our neighborhood. To end the brutality against the Palestinians of the West Bank and the Witness Gaza.
Stop, at least at the last moment, these chain explosions of war and incidents, which with mathematical precision lead to all the all of humanity, “he added.
“Today’s concert is a victory of culture, the truly civilized people who cannot remain indifferent, when injustice is thriving and the lie triumphs, who cannot look at their work, when there are other people who are humming, humiliating, hungry, crushing.
D. Koutsoubas pointed out that “what distinguishes M. Theodorakis from our other leading creators is the debt consciousness that the artist has against the people, to help him, to become his front and a leader on the road to social liberation. And not only with his art, but also with his action within the popular movement. “
D. Koutsoubas then spoke extensively about the racing action of Mikis Theodorakis, who was integrally tied to his creative work throughout his life.
He pointed out that “neither the overthrow of the socialist system and the dominance of the counter -revolution in the USSR and the other former socialist countries were capable of demobilizing Mikey. The opposite.
He felt proud because we were upright, stressing that “we owe this to the tears and sacrifices of the thousands and thousands of pioneering fighters who fell following the flags and banners with red blood. of the peoples of the earth. “
He said that M. Theodorakis condemned “the bombing of Yugoslavia, the EU’s anti-communist memorandum that unimaginates fascism with communism”, was a witness to “against the criminal Nazi Golden Dawn” Abolition of all the memorandums and their anti -labor applicable laws. “

“With his magnificent work, he immortalized the whole epic of the 20th century popular struggle in our country and made a whole people proud of his militant heritage and admiration for those who honor and perpetuate it and perpetuate it,” D. Koutsou said.
“So today that” the wolves thirsty bloods in our neighborhoods and the jackals of anti -communism are backing back ” – according to his own words in the 90 -year -old of our party – we are again looking for the momentum and flame of his mind and heart.”
He pointed out the solidarity of M. Theodorakis to the Palestinian people, emphasizing “we reflect on the pressure that his passionate and inspiration will be exerted internationally to put an end to the atrocity of the Israeli murderer. To open the road to the freedom of the heroic Palestinian people, which he so painful and so loved, having even written the music of the Palestinian anthem and received the Palestinian nationality in 2015. “
“Theodorakis has never ceased to believe that the ideals of peace, dick, freedom are achieved. His work is a constant conflict with injustice, but also with defeat, resignation. It is a trumpet for a struggle start, until the resurrection smells and the dreams of revenge, “D. Koutsoubas said, adding,” the more rugged and rugged his art with injustice, so tender and gently embraces the beauty of life. “
D. Koutsoubas, referring to M. Theodorakis’ creative work, said that “he believed that only the people had the ability to penetrate the higher forms of human creation, as long as someone gives him the keys. He did it. “He brought poetry to the people’s table, next to his glass and bread,” as Ritsos wrote. “
“But Theodorakis, whose great artistic vision, was to creatively harmonize the two worlds, of symphonic and folk music, in one and only one, did not only stay there. A profound and great composer of symphonic music as he was, along with poetry, he claimed to bring to the lips of the people, increasingly difficult and demanding sound worlds. Like, the Oratorio “Axion Esti” in Elytis’ poetry, Sikelian’s “Spiritual”, Nerunda’s magnificent “Great” Genral “, Seferof’s” surface-Averoff “” added.
He added that M. Theodorakis “was fully aware that his great artistic achievement was reflected by the great actions of the people and that his own participation in popular action, although distracting him to some extent from his creation, was his oxygen.”
“His music broke the country’s borders, as he has the universality of common suffering, hopes, the visions of the people where the land where D. Koutsoubas said, adding:
“The global recognition of his artistic and social contribution was sealed with the Lenin Award for Peace.
After all, without the Mikey of this new art founder and pioneer, the music would be otherwise.
Without Mikey’s pulsating, alert and incomprehensible personality and we would be different.
We may always have always agreed with his political initiatives, as the Communist Party, but the remains of the remains is the huge legacy of his work.
Like the political will left us, “erasing the details” and holding the “big sizes”. “
“I know, he said,” that the overwhelming majority of our people will eventually come to our lines, follow our flags … And then, over the scaffolding and through the plains our homeland will fill songs … songs of joy, creation and freedom. “
This great day long, for this day he fought, blew, sang all his life.
And as if this brilliant comes, we will fight with his songs.
But “if the war is over”, where “dreams blush”, we will not forget it.
With his own music we will sing together the peoples in Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Palestine, the Mediterranean, in the Balkans, in the Middle East, everywhere on Earth, the song of peace and human friendship. With all the Greek song being here tonight, ”D. Koutsoubas concluded in his speech.
