Although it’s not widely known, Plastiras’s admiration towards the person of Mussolini is a fact. It is in actual fact the foundation of the coup which was named Plastiras Movement, March 6th 1933. Plastiras also admired the fascist regime that Mussolini imposed in Italy. This is interesting because he is often presented as a democrat, but who can objectively believe that following the exposure of such data. Plastiras wasn’t merely speaking theoretically, and he knew in practice what fascism was all about, as he lived for some time in Italy during the period of its rule. Consequently, he thought that the imposition of a dictatorship in Greece, would’ve been the appropriate means in order to address and resolve the existing problems. At this point it is interesting to note the following statement, where Venizelos who had a direct relationship with him responded as follows: “I believe dear friend, general Plastiras, that you’re incompetent to act as a dictator, and that within two to three months you would have fallen pitifully. You ought go to Italy and convince Mussolini to come here and become a dictator. Then maybe … I might decide for a dictatorship to occur”. It is not certain that this dialogue between the two of them who consider themselves democrats is widely known. However it’s real and indicative for those who knew that they both had dictatorial tendencies of government. Of course, Plastiras himself called this movement, a revolution. In this context, on his orders, armed soldiers stormed into the offices and newspaper establishments, through ministries and goverment offices. These actions were carried out simultaneously with the public arrests. That’s when murders began to occur. Fortunately this movement failed. It is however quite indicative of the level of incompetence, and the lack of judgment regarding the problems which existed in our homeland, but also the political tendencies of the era.
