Greece - Hetalia

The Greek flag includes a religious symbol of only one out of the many Greek religious [or secular] beliefs.
In Greece by law religion is a characteristic of the individual, [an issue of personal manner]
and should be respected [as personal]. The entanglement of one of the Greek people's religious [or secular beliefs]
via a symbol included/depicted in the national flag's design,
contradicts the greek law that protects religion [or other beliefs of that genre] as a personal characteristic of
the individual. The usage of that symbol [Orthodox Christian cross] on a national permanent symbol of everyday and global
usage, violates at the most extreme possible manner the personal character of religious/non religious belief.
It is also a conscious policy, openly admitted by the Greek Government, that Human Rights in Greece have lower
legal validity than "tradition", even if that claim is not included in the Greek Constitution and law explicitly.
Also basic Human Rights values define as "tradition" all variant traditions of a country or a population.
All national traditions should be respected equally. National tradition is not limited by a violators taste,
and only official and legally sampled statistics can reveal the true range of a National Heritage.
If a government desides to oppress some traditions, that does not cancel them being a part of the overall National Heritage.
This policy tergiversates against the spirit of the Greek law by governmental and judicial manipulation/exploitation
of archaic, unjust, out of date, provisional failure legal and Constitutional contradictions.
Legal and Constitutional contradictions also legal provisional failure are not legitimate excuses for Human Rights infringement
or other violations against people that are forced by the Greek Government to be perceived as cultural minority.
The law is supposed to protect all citizens. If a national law or a Constitutional paragraph generates
contradiction, by international law defended under the European Court of Human Rights, the Constitution or the Laws of
that country should adopt via reformation the most humain variant/option.
A general claim used as an excuse for religious infringement by the Greek Government is that
"Christians did shed their blood in order we are now free"
[it is also the main Islamic State ideology even if other religion is cited].
Bloodshed is though neither a Greek nor a E.C. of H.R. recognized excuse to legalize Human Rights violations.
Also the Greek Government implicitly claims that the bloodline of the Orthodox Christians is of higher political might and
cultural genre than the bloodline of Non-Orthodox people, [even of atheists, agnostics, neo-paganists that recently departed
from ancestral beliefs]. Some fanatic Orthodox Greeks claim that the Orthodox cross is only an artistic or archaic [Pre-Christian]
either modern mathematical depiction, and not a religious symbol. This claim is totally discarded by the Greek law,
because the well documented intention of an action defines the causality. As Greeks we shall respect the existing
historic flag and the existing historic Constitution
[by the way both Greek Flag and Greek Constitution have been revised many times in the past].
Respect of national history in not an excuse for not allowing a legal system evolve by complying to the Human Rights
standards of a modern society. Greek history is not an legitimate excuse to violate the
individual character of personal beliefs.
Historic awareness allows us to evolve. Germany should have remained Nazi with that Greek Governmental standards.
Tradition of a part of a population is not a higher value than general
respect of the human rights of all citizens and nationals of a country. Even if all Greeks were Orthodox Christians, still
religion is a personal characteristic, but we are not all Orthodox in Greece! Also the largest majority of Non-Orthodox Greeks,
do not accept their non-inclusion on the Greek flag, therefore we never accepted to be violated, and that violation of
personal belief is a violation supported by many Greek Orthodox people against Non-Orthodox Greeks. It is a violation without
consent. A clear violation. The contradictial parts of the Greek Law and Constitution do not render that violation
milder, that's why we absolutely demand the humain and fair legal shield of the European Court of Human Rights.
Personal beliefs is not an issue that the majority should enforce, neither have they any legal right to do against others.
The flag depiction is of permanent, global and highest status usage, also the Greek flag [usually only the Orthodox part]
is included in other heraldic crests [like the Greek police crest/ensign] therefore as a symbol itself
prescribes authority. It legalizes mentaly and physically actions against Non-Orthodox people [crimes against life,
crimes against other people, guilt as final court decision].
The Greek Government does not order that crimes, but the Greek flag cultivates explicitly to a large part of the Greek public
the notion that Orthodoxy is a higher value than Human Rights.
The European Court of Human Rights should include in the investigation criminal actions and publications that claim Orthodox superiority and Orthodox Supremacism among all variant Greek peoples cultures and personal beliefs.
[a Greek was convicted by the Greek court for not respecting the deceased Orthodox Supremacist neonazi Elder Paisios
who speaks with racial hate against other populations and beliefs, also Paisios speaks with hate against life
and cites fairness of right to kill human beings for political [Paisios was an anti-communist], religious or national beliefs.
It is legal in Greece to type his Orthodox-neo-nazi theories]
/I personally respect neo-nazi Paisios as a human being, but not his beliefs.
I could accept him as a non-neonazi if he didn't support human loss as a means of ideologic prevalence/
I respect the freedom of speech if not direct human loss is supported by the author.
The publications are not to be convicted as actions [except from those legitimizing slaughter for ideological reasons],
but a proof that this official/governmental violation has a huge anti-human right impact on the Greek public,
and according to final court decisions this behavior has an impact either on direct human loss, either on slashing beatings and
permanent injuries, either on mental injuries - all as final court decisions.

Basic Human Rights respect like religious belief, is not a matter of opinion.
We cannot call opinion any action that oppresses and desrespects other human beings, also harms their personal and visceral
awareness of the self as members of the society.
