Greeks
were literally stunned on Wednesday to hear prime minister Antonis Samaras
speaking on television. No, they didn’t stun to hear that the Value Added Tax
in catering will be lowered from 23% down to 13% as of 1. Agust 2013.
They were
stunned to hear the prime minister saying in a pre-recorded video “Fuck my
head, malaka!”
Video:
live from skai tv (anchorwoman says “it was the official statement of
Antonis Samaras”, while actor Kostas Voutsas -in the middle of the panel- stuns
formally speechless with mouth open)
It was
the first attempt of Samaras to announce the V.A.T. lowering. The Prime
Minister’s statement began, but a few seconds later the Prime Minister’s tongue
slipped over some words. Samaras stopped speaking and moved away from the
camera saying “I have to say it again”. While he was walking away he spoke out
the fatal sentance: “Fuck my head, wanker!”
The
videotaped message that was on air on all television screens was cut on air.
It was a
very human moment of the prime minister who confirmed in front of millions of
Greeks that he also is able to use the most popular Greek word: “malakas”.
However,
it is an unacceptable mistake committeed by his communication team first of all
and also the photography director: to release the taped address to the
public, without former editing.
I guess,
at least one but most likely more if not all those present at the filming were
dozing away, while Samaras was speaking. Probably the whole team of advisers &
co.
Samaras videotaped statement, whole
5:12 minutes, was distributed to private television channels by the office of
the prime minister.
No matter
how important Samaras’ statement, not matter how quickly it had to go ‘on
air’, such mistakes are unacceptable.
Unfortunately
the most successful attachment of Samaras to persuade the Troika to agree on
lowering the V.A.T. was crowned with an unprecedented gaffe.
No. The
camera crew wasn’t from public broadcaster ERT that was shut down on June 11th
2013.
PS Guess
what is the most trending Twitter hashtag of the
day…
