How does the secret war of powers evolve within the New Democracy party? What are the relationships between the fourth estate, the party power, and the major business interests?
These are the questions that Giorgos Kyrtsos attempts to answer by breaking the law of silence and avoiding painless chatter. He addresses what most public life figures deliberately ignore and simultaneously supports his arguments with logic and facts. The author has three main advantages: perfect knowledge of a field in which he has been active for decades, great analytical capabilities, and courage. He unravels the thread of the secret war of powers while also opening the book of his own life.
A protagonist in the most significant publishing success of the last twenty years - the transformation of Eleftheros Typos into the largest circulation newspaper in Greece for several years - an informal advisor to Prime Minister Konstantinos Mitsotakis, an architect - on a publishing and journalistic level - of Kostas Karamanlis's rise to the leadership of New Democracy, an expresser of intra-party dissent, a target of major business interests and the media system they control, part of the crisis of the so-called partisan press and especially Eleftheros Typos, an intellectual, Giorgos Kyrtsos has played roles that make his narrative interesting.
He is strict in his judgment of everyone, even himself. It is certain that his narrative, analysis, and conclusions will be strongly disputed. A supporter of continuous creative rupture in the name of freedom of expression and political and social exploration, the author is confirmed through the pages of his book as one of the last protagonists of public life who are not bound and predictable.
