Ioannis Metaxas quotes

Ioannis Metaxas was a Greek military officer and politician who served as Prime Minister of Greece. Known for establishing the authoritarian 4th of August Regime, he ruled the country with a fascist-inspired leadership. He became famous for his defiant "No" (Ohi) response to the Italian ultimatum, marking Greece's entry into World War II. Here are 2 of his quotes:

The Italian Government has repeatedly noted that, during the course of the present war, the Greek Government has adopted and maintained a position which goes not only against the smooth and peaceful... Alors, c'est la guerre. (Ioannis Metaxas)

Greece since the 4th of August became an anticommunist State, an antiparliamentary State, a totalitarian State. A State based on its peasants and workers, and so antiplutocratic. There is not, of course, a particular party to govern. This party is all the People, except of the incorrigible communists and the reactionary politicians of the old parties.
