Because the average politician is used to function only taking into account the political cost, his behaviour is not prepared to accomodate the political gain sense.
Tassos Papadopoulos will remain in the Cypriot history, amongst others of course, as the politician who gave Cyprus its EEZ, an idea which had no meaning whatsoever prior 2004.
Thereon, all of his political opponents have utilised this project, without necessarily attributing it of course to him, because at that time they had exercised harsh criticism against him and it.
What’s importance however, is that his choices now constitute Cyprus’s history as such.
It must therefore be understood that the same will be applicable re: the Greek EEZ as well.
For all the scientists and the technical personnel who are promoting the issue, the substance is as follows:
In the long run, Greece will only remember the politician who will establish it, because this is what matters, and all of the rest are merely details.
Many are the governments that have passed through, and haven’t even realized that the most important thing they could have done, was that, and nothing else.
Since this action will change all the data, as was the case in Cyprus, and at an even greater magnitude, because Greece obtains the second largest EEZ in the Mediterranean.
The point is for at least the next government to understand it, whichever they may be.
Because this will belong to Greece’s history, whereas the others will be just passersby of the past, who didn’t even serve a purpose going through us.
The Greek EEZ constitutes a political value, and as a consequence a gain, because history will be written on account of it, and the politician who will comprehend it, without prioritizing on micropolitics, will in actual fact change Greece’s data once and for all.
