The demonstrations must aim at establishing a new legitimacy


Because many citizens, ignorant of politics, expect miracles from the demonstrations for Tempi or any other issue, it would be good for them to know certain issues of political sociology.

No government falls on its own because thousands of protesters take to the streets. Also, any systemic parties that participate in the demonstrations wish to maintain the rotten regime.

For fundamental political change to occur, the protests must aim to elevate the political consciousness of the People to the point where they gain such confidence that they take for granted the signing of popular decrees that will annul the decrees of an unpopular government.

Slogans of regime change must be raised to ferment and addict the popular consciousness to different political perspective.

The political legitimization of another regime, and the political delegitimization of a corrupt regime, are the ideological fuels that will drive a stable and upward trajectory of a popular movement aiming for victory over the established order.

For example, if the protesters stand on the streets like beggars and shout, "we want justice for the Tempi," it's as if they are asking a rotten political system to do its job better, and thus nothing will change at the institutional level.

Slogans are like tracer rounds; they must precede the current political level of the average citizen.

The demonstrators should develop slogans aimed at the creation of primary law and the foundational establishment of a judicial system by popular and anti-systemic opposition forces.

A popular slogan that is constantly repeated, becomes the conscious possession of the People, and fundamentally challenges the entire moral-normative, procedural, and political system is much more effective than a brief and violent popular outburst, which will quickly subside due to a lack of ideological fuel.

The crisis of legitimization of a rotten regime must be transformed into the emergence of a new regime, and not into the mere embellishment of the political establishment.

In short, the demonstrations must aim at establishing a revolutionary legal legitimacy compatible with the needs of the People, and at the complete rejection of the incorporation of popular demands within the rotten political system.
