Follow me: http://linktr.ee/fishuk
Blog version: http://fishuk.cc/nd-greece
This is the anthem of the Greek conservative party New Democracy, that won the national elections with a large majority last June 7th. Its official name is 'Ο Ύμνος της Νέας Δημοκρατίας' (O Ýmnos tis Néas Dimokratías), 'Anthem of New Democracy', but sometimes it is called 'Ζήτω η Νέα Δημοκρατία' (Zíto i Néa Dimokratía), 'Long live New Democracy', verse that is found in the refrain. Its composer was the Greek singer and musician Robert Williams (Ρόμπερτ Ουίλιαμς).

This Establishment Politician Just Became Prime Minister of Greece
Greece is poised to do something increasingly rare in Europe these days: elect an establishment politician as their next prime minister.
Despite presiding over a fragile economic recovery, Greeks appear to have grown tired of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his Syriza party, and are looking to shake things up during this Sunday’s legislative election.
All signs indicate Kyriakos Mitsotakis of the centre-right New Democracy party will come out on top.
If those projections hold and Greeks end up choosing the 51-year-old Mitsotakis on Sunday, voters won’t just be voting for a fresh face, they’ll be ushering in a return to establishment politics.
Unlike Tsipras, who rose to power on a wave of anti-establishment sentiment and anger towards the EU, Mitsotakis represents Greek political...

Global Leaders Forum: Kyriakos Mitsotakis, President of Greece's New Democracy Party
Please join us on Tuesday, March 13 for a conversation with Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the leader of Greece’s center-right opposition New Democracy Party. As Greece emerges from eight years of being under the restrictions of three bailout packages, continues to confront a migration crisis, becomes an important logistics hub for China, addresses growing tensions in Cyprus, and is re-engaging with Skopje to negotiate an agreed name for the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Athens is increasingly becoming a critical actor in the Eastern Mediterranean region. As opposition leader, Mr. Mitsotakis will share his insights on the most critical issues facing Greece today, the importance of the U.S.-Greek bilateral partnership and transatlantic relationship to bring greater stability to the r...

Hands off Exarchia: New Democracy's War on Anarchists
On July 8th, 2019, the New Democracy government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis assumed power in Greece, after campaigning on a promise to 'clean up' the central Athens neighbourhood of Exarchia, and 'take it back' from the anarchists. Since then, the Greek state has launched a renewed attack against the anarchist and self-organized migrant movements, targeting squats and promising future raids. Against this threat, Greek anarchists have responded with characteristic resolve and determination.

Robert Williams was born in Athens in 1949 and played voice and guitar in the rock band Poll in the beginning of the 70's, until entrying solo career in 1974.

You can read the subtitles in Greek written by the Latin alphabet and its translation into English. The first logo is currently used by ND, and after we see the flag of Greece with the first logo adopted by the party. Original lyrics:

Μαζί να φτιάξουμε μια Ελλάδα μεγάλη
Να ’ρθεις σαν άνοιξη να διώξεις τα χιόνια
Να τραγουδούν στα δέντρα πάλι τ’ αηδόνια
Ο ουρανός θα ’ναι γαλάζιος και πάλι
Απ’ το βοριά ως το πιο νότιο ακρογιάλι
Και στην ψυχή μας θα υπάρχει γαλήνη
Γιατί η καρδιά αγάπη μέσα της κλείνει

Greece is poised to do something increasingly rare in Europe these days: elect an establishment politician as their next prime minister.
Despite presiding over a fragile economic recovery, Greeks appear to have grown tired of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his Syriza party, and are looking to shake things up during this Sunday’s legislative election.
All signs indicate Kyriakos Mitsotakis of the centre-right New Democracy party will come out on top.
If those projections hold and Greeks end up choosing the 51-year-old Mitsotakis on Sunday, voters won’t just be voting for a fresh face, they’ll be ushering in a return to establishment politics.
Unlike Tsipras, who rose to power on a wave of anti-establishment sentiment and anger towards the EU, Mitsotakis represents Greek political aristocracy. His father Konstantinos was Prime Minister between 1990 and 1993.
“I think society realized that electing populists into power is not a solution to underlying economic problems. So essentially what is happening is the pendulum is swinging in the opposite direction,” he told VICE founder Shane Smith during an interview at the New Democracy party headquarters in Athens.
He’s not shy about his establishment credentials either. One of Mitsotakis’s main campaign planks is convincing Greek’s that his financial stewardship can spur renewed confidence in the Greek economy, and lead the lenders who bailed out its economy to the tune of 240 billion euros over eight years to ease their strict requirement that Greece maintain a budget surplus of 3.5 percent.
“The key challenge is to restore high growth rates,” Mitsotakis said. “If the economy grows faster, our creditors are going to be happy because the debt is going to be repaid more easily.”
And to get the economy growing at a faster rate Mitsotakis is appealing to young Greek who left the country during the financial crisis to return.

Robert Williams was born in Athens in 1949 and played voice and guitar in the rock band Poll in the beginning of the 70's, until entrying solo career in 1974. He represented Greece with other three singers in the 1977 edition of Eurovision, having reached the fifth place with the song 'Mathema Solfege'. I've translated the lyrics directly from Greek (http://stixoi.info/stixoi.php?info=Lyrics&act=details&song_id=13480), and another page also helps you to play the song with the guitar (http://kithara.to/stixoi/MTY5Mjg3NjY5/nea-dimokratia-lyrics). Source video without subtitles: http://youtu.be/b0h1uJi4wkY.
This time we can see many apparitions of the Greek PM Mitsotakis, who has led ND since 2016, and of its old founder Karamanlis. Original lyrics:
1. Σε περιμένω να ’ρθεις και πάλι
Μαζί να φτιάξουμε μια Ελλάδα μεγάλη
Να ’ρθεις σαν άνοιξη να διώξεις τα χιόνια
Να τραγουδούν στα δέντρα πάλι τ’ αηδόνια
Ο ουρανός θα ’ναι γαλάζιος και πάλι
Απ’ το βοριά ως το πιο νότιο ακρογιάλι
Και στην ψυχή μας θα υπάρχει γαλήνη
Γιατί η καρδιά αγάπη μέσα της κλείνει
REFRAIN:
Σε περιμένω να ’ρθεις και πάλι
Μαζί να φτιάξουμε μια Ελλάδα μεγάλη
Μαζί να γράψουμε λαμπρή ιστορία
Ζήτω η Ελλάδα
Ζήτω η θρησκεία
Ζήτω η Νέα Δημοκρατία
2. Εμείς το μίσος την κακία ξεχνάμε
Και το συμφέρον όλων πάντα κοιτάμε
Για εμάς τα χρώματα δεν έχουν αξία
Γιατί πιστεύουμε πατρίδα θρησκεία
Ο ουρανός θα ’ναι γαλάζιος και πάλι
Απ’ το βοριά ως το πιο νότιο ακρογιάλι
Και στην ψυχή μας θα υπάρχει γαλήνη
Γιατί η καρδιά αγάπη μέσα της κλείνει

This is the anthem of the Greek conservative party New Democracy, that won the national elections with a large majority last June 7th. Its official name is 'Ο Ύμνος της Νέας Δημοκρατίας' (O Ýmnos tis Néas Dimokratías), 'Anthem of New Democracy', but sometimes it is called 'Ζήτω η Νέα Δημοκρατία' (Zíto i Néa Dimokratía), 'Long live New Democracy', verse that is found in the refrain. Its composer was the Greek singer and musician Robert Williams (Ρόμπερτ Ουίλιαμς).
New Democracy (best known as ND, 'ni-délta') was founded in 1974 by Konstantinos Karamanlis, who was prime minister of Greece from 1974 to 1980. Other heads of government from ND are Georgios Rallis (1980-81), Tzannis Tzannetakis (1989), Konstantinos Mitsotakis (1990-93), Kostas Karamanlis (2004-09), the founder's nephew, Antonis Samaras (2012-15), and Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Konstantinos' son who took office on July 8th 2019. With 158 chairs of 300 in the Parliament, ND has defeated the former premier Alexis Tsipras and his left-wing party Syriza.

Please join us on Tuesday, March 13 for a conversation with Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the leader of Greece’s center-right opposition New Democracy Party. As Greece emerges from eight years of being under the restrictions of three bailout packages, continues to confront a migration crisis, becomes an important logistics hub for China, addresses growing tensions in Cyprus, and is re-engaging with Skopje to negotiate an agreed name for the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Athens is increasingly becoming a critical actor in the Eastern Mediterranean region. As opposition leader, Mr. Mitsotakis will share his insights on the most critical issues facing Greece today, the importance of the U.S.-Greek bilateral partnership and transatlantic relationship to bring greater stability to the region, and the future prospects for Greek parliamentary elections.

On July 8th, 2019, the New Democracy government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis assumed power in Greece, after campaigning on a promise to 'clean up' the central Athens neighbourhood of Exarchia, and 'take it back' from the anarchists. Since then, the Greek state has launched a renewed attack against the anarchist and self-organized migrant movements, targeting squats and promising future raids. Against this threat, Greek anarchists have responded with characteristic resolve and determination.
