PRESS RELEASE

AKKEL party proposal to Interior Minister Voridis for honorary naturalization of Julian Assange as Greek citizen

AKKEL submitted a proposal to the Minister of Interior, Makis Voridis, to honorably naturalize as a Greek citizen the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, who is currently imprisoned in a British prison after being persecuted by the US government, mainly on the basis of the excellent services he offers through of WikiLeaks in serving the values ​​and ideals of Hellenism but also with practical services to Greece which are listed.

AKKEL’s proposal highlights and combines various events that have occurred, so that based on the older known case of Steve Lalas, honorary naturalization would function as a key to the transfer of Julian Assange to Greece, utilizing the legal and political precedent of Steve Lalas within the framework of the Greek-American and Greek-British cooperation agreement, which is also influenced by the proposal .

The proposal also mentions the cases of honorary naturalization that have been concluded for Minister Stylianidis, Antetokounmpo family and Victoria Hislop, treating them as precedents based on which the honorary naturalization of Julian Assange is just a typical process, because his contribution is incomparably greater than the contribution of the aforementioned, as stated in the justification of their honorary naturalization by the Ministry of Interior.

 Characteristic parts of the AKKEL Proposal

1) Julian Assange, through WikiLeaks, has put forward and continues to put up a constant resistance, a persistent NO, to the Nazi-minded organized crime groups that operated and continue to operate primarily within the United States government structure and which have a very clear and well-known anti-Greek pro-Turkish regime identity. The aforementioned are further enhanced through unfair and illegal persecution suffered by Julian Assange. The second day of the trial in London (based as well on a deposition by a proven false witness), in fact, took place exactly on 28th October, the anniversary of the Fascist-Nazi attack against Greece in 1940.

2) Revealed actions of corrupt circles of the US Services to recruit executives of the Greek National Intelligence Service for a fee. Telegrams are also included which raise concerns about the possible involvement of these circles in the deadly health problem of the late Archbishop Christodoulos. There is also a lot of information about the Troika's operations during the manufacturing of the crisis against Greece, which could have been used to punish those responsible and relieve Greece of the troubles caused by the Troika.

3) It is worth noting that a characteristic element of Julian Assange's orientation towards the timeless values ​​and ideals of Hellenism as a cultural dimension of the fight against barbarism and totalitarianism, is the revelation of emails, documents, etc. by Erdogan's AKP party, mainly regarding the coup against him, which led to the closure of Wikileaks in Turkey since the summer of 2016, without ruling out the Turkish regime itself being involved in the overall situation towards his prosecution.

4) The main volume of communication documents of the American Embassy in Athens and elsewhere is a valuable evidence revealing the actions taken against the Greek people by foreign officials, who have obviously violated their oath to the citizens of their own country (if not the legislation in the United States and elsewhere) in relation to the treatment of Greece during the economic crisis but also in the past in relation to critical national issues of Greece.

5) At the international level, we have the timeless alignment of Julian Assange in the service of the values ​​and ideals of Hellenism (as a universal reference point of Culture and the fight against barbarism of all forms) by revealing numerous cases of corruption around the world, war crimes, revealing actions against freedom and democracy, exploitation by officials of their position and power, etc. up to the revelation of vital documents of extremist organizations such as the notorious Scientology, which illuminate their true nature and function.

6) AKKEL emphasizes that the case of the transfer of Steve Lalas has created a legal and political transfer gateway from the US to Greece and the proposal of honorary naturalization of Julian Assange as a Greek creates the key to open this gateway.

7) If the United States intervenes to stop the transfer or process of honorary naturalization, it will be public and clear evidence that a political-judicial system incompatibility exists, so even the signed bilateral Defense Agreement remains pending for annulment because the ground on which the Greek government is supposed to have relied to sign it, will be nonexistent. Similarly for the Agreement with Britain, if Britain tries to block in any way this transfer process to Greece.

REF .: AKKEL proposal for Honorary Naturalization of Julian Assange as a Greek

 

Honorable Minister,

Following the information we received about the honorary naturalization of a foreigner, after a request from AKKEL to you regarding the honorary naturalization of Julian Assange (founder of Wikileaks ), AKKEL submits a request for the honorary naturalization of Julian Assange, so that the process can begin, during which the personal presence of Julian Assange in Greece is a serious possibility, as we explain below, without the need for any government action for this, although it would be welcome.

Following the celebrations of the anniversary of the Greek NO [ΟΧΙ in Greek] against the Nazi and Fascist Axis, which began the battle of the Greek people against the Axis in 1940 (and continues to this day in various forms), AKKEL submits to you the request for honorary naturalization, given that the revelations made by Julian Assange brought to light war crimes, Nazi-style atrocities, crimes that clash with the values ​​of Hellenism (not necessarily with a narrow understanding of geographical area, but as a point of reference for Humanity) and largely neutralized the action by such Nazi-minded groups and organizations.

Julian Assange, through WikiLeaks, has raised and continues to put up a continuing resistance, a persistent NO, to the Nazi-minded organized crime groups that operated and continue to operate primarily within the United States government and which have a very clear and well-known anti-Greek and pro-Turkish-regime identity. The aforementioned are further enhanced through unfair and illegal persecution suffered by Julian Assange. The second day of his trial in London (based as well on deposit by a proven false witness), in fact, took place exactly on 28th October, the anniversary of the Fascist-Nazi attack against Greece in 1940.

Based on the unique combination of legal and political precedent, which has been formed in the Greek-American and Greek-British relations (with the two bilateral agreements and the previous case of Steve Lalas), as well as with recent cases of honorary naturalization, (Stylianidis, Antetokoumpo family, Hislop etc), the honorary naturalization of Julian Assange as a Greek is now a typical procedural issue, given his incomparably greater contribution, as well as the possibility to come free to Greece, as we explain.

To put it descriptively, based on the justification for these honorary naturalizations that you have made public, if we represent your justification for offering these people at the size of apartment buildings, by analogy Julian Assange's contribution should be seen at the size of a skyscraper and in fact in much more difficult conditions and situations of persecution, in which the former have not been found. The naturalization of Christos Stylianidis, in fact, to be appointed Minister of Civil Protection, is highly controversial, as you know, with many reactions to the point that it has been said that he should not have honorary naturalization, butshould have been banned from entering Greece because he supported (for-fee) the anti-Hellenic Annan Plan against Cyprus.

 Outline of Julian Assange's contribution

It is understandable that we can not mention the whole volume with the documents revealed by Julian Assange, but indicatively we mention some of the revelations of WikiLeaks (1) initially in relation to Greece and directly in support of the Greek people. He revealed actions of corrupt circles of the US Services to recruit executives of the Greek National Intelligence Service under financial reward. Telegrams are also included which raise concerns about the possible involvement of these circles in the deadly health problem of the late Archbishop Christodoulos. There is also a lot of information about the Troika's operations during the manufacturing of the crisis against Greece, which could have been used to punish those responsible and relieve Greece of the troubles caused by the Troika. It is worth noting that a characteristic element of Julian Assange's orientation towards the timeless values ​​and ideals of Hellenism as a cultural dimension of the fight against barbarism and totalitarianism, is the revelation of emails, documents, etc. by Erdogan's AKP party, mainly regarding the coup against him, which led to a blockade of Wikileaks in Turkey since the summer of 2016, without ruling out the Turkish regime itself being involved in the overall situation towards his prosecution.

The bulk of the US Embassy's communications documents in Athens and elsewhere is valuable evidence of the actions taken against the Greek people by foreign officials, who have apparently violated their oath to the citizens of their own country (if not legislation in the United States and elsewhere) in relation to the treatment of Greece during the economic crisis but also in the past in relation to critical national issues of Greece. Obviously all governments in Greece in recent years could use this material but even though they have not used it, Julian Assange's offer remains intact because it can be used by the citizens themselves, in various legal, activist ways and others.

Secondly (2) at the international level, there is the timeless alignment of Julian Assange in the service of the values ​​and ideals of Hellenism (as a universal reference point of Culture and the fight against barbarism of all forms) by revealing numerous cases of corruption around the world, war crimes, revealing actions of repression of freedom and democracy, exploitation by officials of the position and power they held, etc. even revealing vital documents of extremist organizations such as the notorious Scientology that illuminate their true nature and function. One of the most important and indisputable examples of war crimes is the revelation of the video where a US helicopter in Iraq kills civilians including a Reuters journalist and his driver, an extreme case of indifference to human life.

The values ​​and ideals of Hellenism as they have been created since antiquity and shaped until today are a reference point of Humanity on what is "civilized" and what is "barbaric", inhuman, misanthropic and generally against human ontological nature. Freedom, Democracy, honor for human life, service to citizens, prevention of exploitation, repulsion of corruption, free investigation, respect for the personality from which it derives today the protection of privacy, etc. are among the ideals and values ​​of Hellenism and of course do not exhaust the issue. When we look at the direction in which Julian Assange's revelations worked, through Wikileaks, we see that they served what are considered values ​​and ideals of Hellenism (indicatively mentioned earlier). One only has to look at a list of Wikileaks revelations and find that everything brings a service-related benefit to the above.

  The Greek-American, Greek-British Agreements and the Steve Lalas case

We know, of course, that in the face of Julian Assange a section of the United States government (with the help of a counterpart in Britain) has launched a furious attack on his imprisonment and actual effort to take his life, because he exposed their criminal gangs around the world. We are referring to this precisely because the unique combination that exists only for Greece in the world, will be able to provide a solution to the Legal and Political case that is currently evolving in the British courts focusing on Julian Assange, taking advantage of the legal and political precedent between Greece-USA with the transfer of Steve Lalas to Greece.

Briefly, since Julian Assange has served Greece (as a society) and the values ​​and ideals of Hellenism, having revealed what this part of the US administration accuses him of being espionage, hacking, endangering agents etc etc (with proven false "Witnesses") and Britain does NOT dispute this, having the prisoner in a high security prison, a serious question arises as to whether and to what extent the US and Britain are or can be allies with Greece (since what we want to honor Julian Assange for, is exactly what the US and Britain themselves want to imprison him for and now have him imprisoned). There is a question of "compatibility" between the legal-political system (and legal-political culture) of the USA and Britain with those of Greece. Moreover, this serious and reasonable questioning of "compatibility" extends to the recent Agreements that Greece has signed with the USA and Britain. Consequently, the obligation arises from the governments of the USA and Britain to prove to the Greek people that this compatibility exists and that they are real allies as follows.

AKKEL emphasizes that the case of the transfer of Steve Lalas has created a legal and political transfer gate from the USA to Greece and the proposal of honorary naturalization of Julian Assange as a Greek creates the key to open this gate:

 Comparative cases of Julian Assange and Steve Lalas

 The situation, as it stands now, is almost equivalent to the case of Steve Lalas, but with Julian Assange in a much better analogy:

 

(1) Lalas was accused by the US government of leaking confidential information to Greece. Assange is accused by the US government of revealing confidential information through WikiLeaks.

(2) Lalas was arrested by the US government when he arrived in the US. Assange has NOT been arrested by the United States. They have to go through the UK to gain control on him.

 (3) Lalas was tried in a US court. Assange was NOT tried in a US court.

 (4) Lalas was convicted and imprisoned in the United States. Assange has NOT been convicted and is NOT a prisoner in the US.

 (5) Lalas was released on parole and the United States agreed to release him in Greece for the last years of his conditional release to be reunited with his family for humanitarian reasons. Assange is NOT even under US control and the US can NOT have a legitimate reason to intervene against his release to Greece, at least for humanitarian reasons (to improve his health) in addition to the honorary naturalization process, since for a long time a more serious case like that of Lalas, in which they had full control, allowed Lalas to come to Greece despite the contrary instructions of the US Embassy in Athens.

 As a result, Lalas' case created "a legal-political bridge and gateway" from the US to Greece, to which the Assange case can be "led". AKKEL's action for honorary naturalization has created a "node" on the "bridge" for connection with the United Kingdom and has created the "key" to open the gate.

 Since the US has already accepted and made the transfer of Lalas, they CANNOT have legal objections, especially because what they are asking from the UK they can ask in the Greek courts when Assange is in Greece. The "US-Greece legal bridge and gateway" exists, the US has no moral or legal right to prevent Greeks from transporting others "on the bridge" especially when in the Assange case the US has ABSOLUTELY NO DIRECT CONTROL on Assange, as they had FULL control on prisoner Lalas. 

Only Britain has a say in this case for the transfer to the "bridge" and "gate" that have been instituted between Greece and the United States with the transfer of Steve Lalas and the AKKEL move for honorary Greek citizenship to Assange. The United States has no reason or right to intervene because there is the final event with Lalas. If the United States intervenes to stop the transfer or process of honorary naturalization, it will be public and clear evidence that the aforementioned incompatibility exists, so even the signed bilateral Defense Agreement remains pending for annulment because there will not be the ground on which the Greek government is supposed to have relied to sign it. Similarly for the Agreement with Britain, if Britain tries to block in any way this transfer process to Greece.

AKKEL emphasizes the particularly beneficial results if the path we propose is followed, initially obviously in favor of Julian Assange, who will gain his freedom and his work will be honored as we all have an obligation to honor, but also in favor of Hellenism because the first thing that will be understood and felt throughout the world will be that the Greeks today remain connected to the historical course since Antiquity and honor the values ​​and ideals of Hellenism as a point of reference for Humanity. The proof for this will be the honorary naturalization of Julian Assange as a Greek because he also honored the same ideals and values ​​with his revelations and the Greeks decided to make him "one of us" and formally join the same common course from Antiquity until today.

It is also obvious that honorary naturalization will create a great wave of sympathy and appreciation around the world for Greece, because Greek society will emerge internationally as a brave entity for clearly rewarding people who serve the universal values ​​and ideals of Hellenism.

An extremely great service, which will obviously be appreciated, is oriented towards the entire society and the individual societies that make up the United Kingdom. We all understand that both the political world and the judiciary, as well as society as a whole in the United Kingdom, face a major problem with the pressures and blackmails of criminal government circles that have long influenced the leadership of the United States. Essentially, these criminal circles are responsible for the prosecution of Julian Assange, because this persecution is by no means a demand and demand of American civil society. The honorary naturalization and utilization of the aforementioned Steve Lala Bridge and Gate is essentially a "Machine God"

The same service, which will be equally appreciated, will be offered to the American people, who see (in their name) Julian Assange being persecuted, a fact that the American people themselves obviously do not agree with, given that the Greek and American people have existed as allies, fighting for common values ​​and ideals. This process of honorary naturalization and liberation of Julian Assange will be another milestone in the common course of the two peoples and obviously from the American side (the peoples’ side not regime’s) the appreciation for Greece and the values ​​and ideals of Hellenism will be strengthened.

A very clear service, although it may not be visible from the beginning, will be to Steve Lalas, who really suffered from his imprisonment in the United States. The implementation of the transfer of Julian Assange to Greece based on the legal and political precedent of Steve Lalas, on the one hand will be an important consolation of Steve Lalas and on the other hand will signal both in Greece and abroad that good acts of honesty towards the homeland will always at some point bear fruit even in a way that in no case could it be visible at that time. It will be the best completion of the "cycle" for Steve Lalas.

However, it may eventually turn out that a "gold mine" of knowledge and data will be gained from the reactions and attempts to undermine the honorary naturalization and liberation, that will come from the corrupt and criminal circles within the leadership of the United States and in other countries, even in Greece. We will be able to map the people, groups, networks and "arguments" of Barbarism when they are forced to react to such an act of honorary naturalization of Julian Assange, which serves the values ​​and ideals of Hellenism-Civilization.

We hope for a positive response from you and we remain ready and willing to cooperate in this direction.

Sincerely,

[Signature]

Evangelos (Vakis) Tsiobanidis,

President of AKKEL
