KEFiM – Markos Dragoumis and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom co-organized the event “Truths and Lies about Liberalism in Greece” on Monday, the 5th of December.  On the occasion of the “Little book of Greek Liberalism” publication, top speakers and numerous friends filled the main stage of the Bretagne theatre.

The “Little Book of Greek Liberalism”

The discussion centered on myths associated with the liberal thought, which is now considered as an inhuman, imported ideology. However, the truth is that freedom has deep roots in the Greek history and this is easily understood throughout the 15 emblematic texts, included in KEFiM’s new publication. The “Little Book of Greek Liberalism” is a collection of texts from Thucydides to Aristotle and from Eugene Voulgaris to Eleftherios Venizelos, presenting the most human philosophical and political thought ever expressed: liberalism.

The speakers Harris Peitsinis (Publication Director), Aristides Hatzis (Professor of Philosophy of Law), Dimitris Katsoudas (Law and Political Scientist) and Professor Thanos Veremis, participated in an extremely interesting discussion -coordinated by the distinguished journalist Nick Vatopoulos- and answered numerous questions posed by the audience, to whom 200 copies of the issue were distributed.
