new video from the Citadel, which he uploaded to his personal account in Facebook Barack Obama bids farewell to Greece and speaks again for the Republic.
The american president chose Athens and, in particular, the sacred rock of the Acropolis to send a message that “we are part of the community of nations that solves problems and make the best for humanity.
“We have behind us the Parthenon, the Acropolis and a part of Athens,” says the president of the united states reiterating that “here in Athens, started to develop ideas such as democracy and the concept of the citizen”.
Mr Obama also referred to the concept of continuity “with what’s happened here with the speeches of Pericles and the founding fathers of our state”.
“It is very important for the president of the united states to send a message about how important is the cultural heritage of a country” sounds to says Barack Obama.
“On my last trip abroad as president, I finally had the opportunity to visit Greece and to meet the beautiful history of this country. Here on the Acropolis, in the place of birth of democracy and the democratic values that we share as Americans, you understand the value of a government of the people, by the people, for the people, and how people, irrespective of the nation to which they belong, will decide the kind of country in which we live, the ideals which we seek and the values that will define us” states”.
The video was filmed some time before the iconic speech made by American president Barack Obama from Athens. With references to Pericles and Socrates, but also in Odysseus Elytis, Obama praised Democracy and spoke of the gaps of globalisation and the inequality that must be fought.
