5:34 pm
us or so we currently invader on us, which is where you grew up, right? was there anything about growing up here that particularly motivation to you to go into activism, to participate in a senior governments in 5th grade, actually representing the students and in many important issues as raising money for pay people from lower economic backgrounds from students to participate in a school trip, the shopping people, some sort of families, the 9 do not be left behind. and your parents with a politically active. yeah. both my parents are a trade unionist, but from my early ages i remember my part and so it's telling me about how it's
5:35 pm
respect every, every person, no matter their, their background, their, their status to the future. you're a co founder, a youth organization could start to really uh, nissan. could you tell me with a name comes from i'm what your main objective box. mm hm. so actually for the mean seduce initiative for the william and initiative and now and means here we focus on organizing people and use it as, as the eligibility rights women's rights, human rights in general, but also the, the educational crisis in their climate crisis as well. we organize people on this 3 levels with demonstrations and sikes, but also organize
5:36 pm
a lot of open dialogue with the, our members and, and young people in general to talk about the important stuff that i was introducing spaces. and we're now starting to, to do some loving work, actually pressing quotations to implement agendas that work for, for young people as well. to the leah may on isn't a line. so a political policy. how would you describe the values of it for somebody that in a different country? i think that will mean student progressive left. we have some specific cases that are not like negotiable for us, but we try to keep the dialog girlfriend and actually we negotiated with people on our ideals. also we need to show people that you have to pressure those
5:37 pm
institutions and the people who hold office to actually work for you and for your interest. the rosa you were born and raised in greece, but your parents originally come from albania. well, it's not been like a while in greece. this architecture are born in the country or the true immigration in any age doesn't automatically make you a greek citizen. so although i was born in greece, i was considered an old bane and citizen on taylor 2017, which meant that i had 0 civic right. but no, absolutely no, probably couldn't political representation and how albania is to see if the increase still out of balance my grades in the ninety's after that is the illusion of the hybrid community space. we are currently the biggest, my great 3 minority we have been traditionally targeted by the media. we have been perceived as the dangers as, as criminals,
5:38 pm
as somebody's to watch out for. and so yeah, in, in a way it has and made it easier. so for us to senior agent, the great society you've been involved in anti fascist movement and i wanted to know what it was about your life experiences that kind of shape to a journey into activism. the moment i started being actively involved with the movement was when i was 13 years old, that's gonna sided only between the beginning of the financial crisis in greece. if i could be point to a certain moment in time that really spark max gets claimed, it would be uh when uh, the police queue, the 15 year old boy, his name was alexis. we bought all bruce the nonsense. and that the sparkle, the big movement of demonstration that moved from, from austin and fed all over greece. i
5:39 pm
spoke about the struggles, but also represented many different topics that we were fighting for from, for these personality to a presentation to essentially a better life. for so we know one of his background, i'd like to know that about the work that you do with my friends particularly. yeah, so we're a long process association. we are a collective the before we're doing an option where it says illustrating calling ideas and a phone racism and all sorts of fun, social and like discrimination. and we lack representation of people like us, external government, and higher, let's say like the aspects of society. so we're really keen on promoting that to the element a
5:40 pm
thank you, pinterest and rosa for being here today. both of you have grown up during the time of and numerous social and economic people in greece. where is that, how do you think that this is define things to your generation? well, i think when somebody's faced with those verse that they, there's most probably 2 ways you can go about. one of them is to, you know, put your head down and let it destroy you, and the other one is to push against it. then somehow elective define you positively. i think cause i come from the generation that was facing the financial crisis and then was the case with what they call the refugee crisis. i think um we were confronted with a lot of different of aging gun structures and phenomena. but most of us these come through more easily and then again, i got on admit the truth, which is that a lot of us faced with this adversity we, we had to fly like i have to say that
5:41 pm
a lot of my peers, my classmates, be one of my generation dates, we need greece, i think the we came stronger after listening to this crisis that we face us 10 races. something that i have to do out is the last of space in the democratic institutions that our generation is facing. and that is something really difficult for, for people to understand. a mis democratic institution is going to work for you. and something that we need is stronger representation of people of all race environment and then any uh, local or national or original plays. the decisions are being made is interesting that you say that young people don't have trust in democratic institutions because the last government actually lower the vice engage to 17 on i wanted to know. do you think that means that young people have more of an active voice in politics in greece? i think that it gave us a sense of responsibility because it was the 1st time that we got to vote. but the
5:42 pm
problem is that the, the h to get elected is still the same. it's 25 years old. so that doesn't change anything when it comes to my presentation. and i was, i wanted to ask you, your experience has been different. so could you explain a bit about what your civic rights have been like in greece? yeah, is there is a difference between being able to participate in the system and how they feel a voice hurt than actually being represented in the system going from what they call as a 2nd generation migrating greece, which basically means that you're either born from my grandparents increase or you migrate that and energy age and i believe most of your life in greece. so you have all of the medications as a pro for greek citizen, no taxpayer, but none of the civic rights. and i think one of the most important things that we need to understand is that you cannot vote, i think that come from a generation because 0 is being thing, the greek society. and that is exactly what we're trying to change with horizons to put greeks like me and the center of this probably completing its color. and when
5:43 pm
you talk about no feeling visible, do you mean specifically coming from a migrant community? you're not having great nationality in the 1st place, or do you mean generally for the generation? i think it's, it's represents the generation of people that have my grades or heritage and me visibility and visit vanity that i liked the play was. things also comes from the front of the 2 are very visible in certain terms, and that is when people call you the grand thing, the cream you know, and foreigner, but then you're visible when it comes to anybody. take anything to accomplish your think. there were lots of specific things that happened in greece say we quote them crises, but also a global kinds image. i wanted to know how well these things that affected the education system and the experience of students i so as well uh we, we have uh no basic um, stuff that we need no basic infrastructure that we need in our schools and in our universities. and the problem is that the current government is,
5:44 pm
is actually trying to, to turned into the discussing and into a certain different direction. does they focus on security, the police, on companies, one of the same moment. we don't have some basic stuff, but it's getting bases all around here and all around the world has. it was specifically the lowering of, of budget during the crisis. and especially the, the get that a wide in between the lowering and upper classes when it comes to private spending as a ways um, you do have to get some private tutoring to get into university. and so it becomes very disproportionate for people of, for working class being for a to, to be able to help their kids to prepare the, to him to get into university. interesting is a way of me, current conservative call him and said to privatize everything. we've seen that
5:45 pm
happen with health care and now i think it's a very direct approach towards education. i think you might agree with me. we are very proud to have a public education system english for us. it's important to keep it public and the conservative government, the strength of that. exactly. also since we were just talking about student politics and i think around the world, she didn't pull its excuse to the left. but more generally in greece, the far right had gained popularity. nice, nice to believe with the near, not secret the golden doing. why do you think that's been the case? said when you have a version crisis and you have a space, a concert, it's a grease that is, i talk by many phones very it's also i'm a grounds that creates different passivity. this one of them is for folks curious narratives, for example, phobic narratives for um, it creates an opportunity for extreme ideas to come forth because people are struggling, right. and on top of the financial crisis, items 1008 in 2015, you had what they call the refugee crisis. so i think the system it says dave space,
5:46 pm
so golden don't exist because in that's the way they want it. the main stream, extreme ideas that we actually see today in the conservative government, we cannot fly. there are specific people in the structures of the car in government that are also in the right side of the spectrum. right. so yeah, i think of denver pretty large because if you needed to express the strongest in october of 2020 the going to and was finally criminalized. and some of the leaders was sent to prison is that the end of the story when it comes to the golden dawn and the near nazi aspects of the far right in greece, we do not have them in the parliament. they are not in the strong public position that they were, they are not controlled costing half of our days in our mainstream media. but in reality, they still exist. not all of them were jake, and not all of their ideas and narratives are buried somewhere beneath right that you still have their support is around. i was talking with some people of this
5:47 pm
think all their own community there. know people are not ashamed to say that they support the goals and on and maybe when they become and then we can talk about it ending, but it's definitely not the case right now. do you agree with that? is that people aren't really ashamed to be associated with a go in and don't me. i think the public out from the end do single uh, decision $920.00 to any. understand how dangerous calling on was. especially after the killing of a foot above the spaces of fame was in green communities. and the thing was green clapper, and the people understand that it wasn't just a right wing party. there was a new nazi cleaning or group that was doing some criminal and terrorist activities . but the audio lindsey's is still there and we have one of their members waiting in part increase in 2015 of 1000000 refugees and migrant landed on the shores of greece and rosa you went to work on the on and of some us. what did the experience show you? yeah, i mean that was definitely i'm defining experience. i think um,
5:48 pm
it's either still hard for me to express what i went through. but for sure, it's dodge me in the main understand that if i was in the garage, i had a really tall slice and the struggle most people are having a job and was a, comes from the stock the what, the goal. so when they are in the, comes back in the day, the comp was open. today they are closed security facilities and international engineers like or expanding amnesty international has they key is degree government of a legal pushback for refugees across the border and prison like refugee senses. i wanted to know if you think that's a great public support these measures. i don't think medically public support this measures, but i think that there is a lack of information when it comes to the whole referencing issue increase because the media is now covering other other issues as, as a gas prices or the electricity prices of the war. and ukraine,
5:49 pm
so i think that especially in the mainstream media has been trying to, you know, and james and dialogue and take it as of as far away as, as a kind of from and why is that? because a government has turned comes from the space that you could walk into to prison conditions. so there is, i think for me it's a targeted approach to give out as the information as possible. and actually when there is information authentic media, it's being blocked. and those journeys are being even stopped and followed by the government. and i want to circle back to one key point and the media in the recent international press freedom index to publish 5 and 4 inches without borders. greece came last of all your opinion in countries behind bulk area and hungary. were you surprised about that? frankly speaking not, but the context only if we see greece and the media landscape seems to financial crisis. what you observe is that there's been really strong funding of the of the,
5:50 pm
the media services. so what me did does now is that they rely on public funding. what happens there is that the public funding goes to the hands of the media that are supporting the conservative government. so you have a system that is not fair. you have a system that is not a safe. yeah, the journalist, but i know 1st of the investigative journalists being stopped by the government. so i think it's a, it's a matter of understanding that the ownership and the safety are really, really going down here. and i think it's, it's important to note that the government has refused to repair work, which is without, for it is find things. and they said that the majority of newspapers in greece, exercise phase criticism against the government pictures. what do you think about that response from the government? it has nothing to do with them. the reality we are facing in greece because the press and the media here are operating by the one percent of the country. i may say, well, the big dies with um, the oil business in the shipping industry. so for me is basically when it comes to,
5:51 pm
to my climbing item is, uh, it was really difficult going to do uh, immediately and talking about climate change and talking about how these sleeping companies are destroying local communities. they wouldn't report it because they are owned by the people who are creating the problems. and of course, the well young people that's adding to social media instead for news information, anything really i don't want isn't there. if there was any examples in greece that highlighted how certain platforms have been used to amplify issues, will bring about positive change. the organization, for instance, gain popularity in doing that. but then through social media, especially instagram because he gave us the opportunity to actually talk about issues that were not being talked about in, in may. so media, cuz we're talking about the educational classes and how you end up and dynamic. we had a inequality between people who could afford having like 2 computers at home, having internet access is not everybody. indeed,
5:52 pm
i wanted to take what we actually do as well. we use social media to bring forth social change and it's actually working for them. we've had cases of refugee students have been denied the asylum and we really pushed a big social media campaign or needs to go and facebook. we went there and intervened in his school and when we actually so it's up to the shang, any posting of that, or do visual 5 and our on our own are not even our pulse. we actually manage to contribute into a whole system of support. that's got the kids use asylum approved. it was a really interesting experience for us because we as a, we have a lot of power links to meet. it doesn't give us a space, but social media create it's, it's for us. the show is cool generation change and i do want to know from both of you how you define your doesn't generation compared to that of your parents. so i think that we are one of the most progressive generations. but at the same time with social media, sometimes we get the reason that we're active enough,
5:53 pm
but does not the case, we need to be more active. we need to be more organized because our partners gave a lot of fights, especially during the dictatorship increase. we need people to get through the streets to organized in order to, to actually change something in order to be represented more. uh, but i'm of the missing when it comes to maximizing ration being, you know, politically active and was that your experience has been quite different to that with your parents because they came over here from another country. how do you see a world view as being different to this? well, i think this is true for most kids that's coming from my grandparents. we are raised with a bunch of his st. john's. and you have to, i'd like to come to terms with the fonts, butcher, parents of sacrifice, most of their lives and liberties and freedoms for you to enjoy some of what you consider as the like the basic human rights. but yes,
5:54 pm
the subjugation the ext corporate housing. i grew up being poor for a service and like part of my life. so i don't know, my parents had to go through that struggling way more than i did. so yeah, i feel privileged. i feel the owner and i feel thankful for their sacrifice, but my job is to make sure that my generation doesn't have to do that for the next pictures. totally. it is non partisan. it is outside of the system at the moment. do you think that in the future you're going to have to work within the system in order to bring about change? and sometimes we also work with the system up at that time because uh, especially when it comes to doing, talking with the numbers and environment for our representatives. we, we get into conversations with them. uh, out of that meeting and partisan organization would be very, very difficult for us because at the moment we, we cannot fight ourselves and being represented in our interest being represented by specific party. that is a very, very strange problem for,
5:55 pm
for us in race. and we need to be representing a parent more and we need to a political party that we'll talk about our problems enough, especially with the education system and, and the working and working rights issue. the people are facing generations. i also want to ask you this question was i, i know that previously you have been very n t system, but now you can brussels, which is the heart of the european system. how did that happen and is that just in and of it's advantage to you getting a bit older? i definitely, i think the moment to understand that the, by screaming on the outside you bring forth those pacific and minimize changed comes also in a honey high with being i think, the older guess as you mature. i think at least for me and then doesn't have to be the case for everybody. understood that in order to change a system, you need to 1st empower yourself and protect yourself and then enter that
5:56 pm
system in order to change is going to be then and i think that's how you change it by bringing people like us in position of power. so that they can influence the new legislation and the new decisions that i've got. i've been influence the whole society. i couldn't find any other way to sign the lease of the old are the things we've talked about. what was the crises, one of the issues on as a copeland? why do you care about change and do you think that it is realistic and possible? i think that i do. it gives me some great examples of, of, of things being made. uh, but it needs a lot of work and it's a little simple understanding that they have to be active in us, especially in greece, is that we have been going through so many crisis that we are power of a powerful enough to, to actually fight for, for our basic rights fight for our presentation. and i'm of domestic,
5:57 pm
that our generation is going to be able to understand and be more inclusive in a way of, of, of making changes possible for, for everybody. all of my life have been goals that i cut onto things. it starts from being the name of the ground and he goes to being a one day and it goes to being wake up for an area to show has done today. and i think that i am living proof that you can start from last think and push against. this is the 1st, i guess i every obstacle brings you and there is way more brilliant examples than me. but this is where we have to be a yeah, i feel like i'm here to empower people and sometimes to present them. so in a way i find this motive because there is a lot of work to be done. picturesque rose, i thank you so much for being here today. that's all for this episode of generation change here in greece.
