Surprise, surprise

Surprise, surprise. A constant companion of Gay MacDougall's, the so-called UN human rights expert, on her recent trip to Greece in search of 'Turk' and 'Macedonian' minorities was Panayiotis Dimitras, the self-appointed president of Greek Helsinki Monitor; the self-declared anarchist – 'Proudhon version'; self-publicist, darling of Fyromian nationalists, who cannot resist any opportunity to give interviews to the Fyromian press denouncing Greece and providing succour to Fyromian nationalism and its absurd discourse against Greece; whose whole life is dedicated to attacking the Greek state, claiming it is 'authoritarian' to uphold the law, yet using every opportunity to pursue through the Greek courts – claiming defamation – anyone who criticises his advocacy of the Turkish nationalist position in Thrace or the Fyromian nationalist discourse concerning Macedonia. A sanctimonious hypocrite if ever there was one, a professional malcontent, an intolerant, conceited sociopath – his father Ilias Dimitras was a minister in the government of the Greek junta – and a useful tool of anti-Greek foreign powers, whether he likes it or not.
