Below you will find some of the highlights published in Sunday newspaper To Vima in its front page report “The Coup d’ etat that didn’t happen…”. The basic idea of the newspaper is that the leadership of the Greek Armed Forces was replaced in November 2011 because then Prime Minister George Papandreou and National Defence Minister Panos Beglitis were afraid of an upcoming military intervention.
A special reference is being made to former Chief of Land Forces Fangoulis Frangos. Already after the replacement of last November, there are claims in the Greek media, that he was ‘preparing a coup and therefore the leadership was replaced’.
Highlights of lengthy To Vima report:
•Relations between defence Minister Beglitis and Frangos were tense. Beglitis was sceptical on Frangos considering him as especially active, while he concetrated more and more power in his hands. He had contacts to religious organizations that are active off the official Church.
•Frangos was the inspirator of building the ditch at the Greek Turkish borders in Evros.
•Frangos had not informed Beglitis about the military exercise* in Kilkis, where soldiers were trained to combat protesters.
•The booing of politicians during the October 28/2011 parade were staged by extreme-rights**, retired army officers and members of religious fundamentalists.
•Politician of the national-patriotic section of the right-wing confesses today in private discussions that in the days before October 28th, he was felt out by a retired army officer about a possible participatation in an interim government of military.
•The analysis tabled to Papandreou was based on the assessment that overthrowing of governments is not done by sudden moved of individual army officers. Before any movement in this direction, an organised castigation of the political class and civil irritation caused by widespread incidents precede.
•“The army comes as a Deus ex machina (a savor) at the end of the play, not at the beginning,” said a high ranking PASOK official.
•To trigger a military intervention was exactly that what those who work out plans for a withdrawal of Greece from the European Union

Um comentário do Niet que, espero, talvez apareça desta feita na caixa a que se destinava:
A Revolução Social na Grécia não pára e, ao que parece,não existem grupos( comités de acção)e outro tipo de associações políticas extra-parlamentares para avivarem o fortíssimo exemplo grego na região portuguesa. Ocupações e greves muito duras alinham-se por todo o território. As forças policiais adoptaram um refinada e muito perigosa estratégia de provocação contra os insurgentes, passando a infiltrar provocadores e a " colonizar " bairros com franjas do lumpen-proletariado viciadas em drogas duras. A coligação centrista adoptou um plano de venda em saldo do património do imobiliário estadual grego no estrangeiro, embaixadas e Consulados,com um caso escandaloso relacionado com a venda do palácio do consulado-geral grego em Londres. Passos Coelho deve optar pelo mesmo " estilo " de saldo...como se passa com um apart. de Nova Yorque...Não existem referências nos grandes Médias Mundiais à aludida tentativa de golpe de Estado de uma facção nacionalista do exército grego, mas a NATO/EUA dificilmente deixaria germinar essa ideia muito perigosa e numa área geopolítica vital, a ombrear com um Médio Oriente em suspense vertiginoso por causa do Irão. Salut. Niet
