Justice or Propaganda? Adonis Says What Everyone Else Is Thinking

A Statement That Cuts Through Hypocrisy

Adonis Georgiadis, Greece’s Minister of Health and Vice President of New Democracy, made a statement that pierced the diplomatic fog surrounding international institutions: The International Criminal Court (ICC), in his view, no longer functions as a neutral judicial body but as a politicized mechanism.

“A court not recognized by either the U.S. or Israel — I too recognize it with great difficulty. It plays politics, not justice. And it’s a serious mistake that Greece recognizes it without question.”

This caused a stir — not because the statement lacked truth, but because it shattered a well-guarded political consensus.

A Political Disagreement, Not a Personal Clash

PASOK’s foreign affairs spokesperson, Dimitris Mantzos, publicly criticized Georgiadis for his remarks, claiming they “expose Greece internationally” and “undermine international law.”But this isn’t a personal spat — it’s a deep political divide. Between those who view institutions like the ICC as untouchable pillars of morality, and those — like Georgiadis — who ask uncomfortable questions about their selectivity and credibility.

“Whoever ignores what happened on October 7 in Israel, or the fact that Hamas hides in schools and hospitals, is simply closing their eyes,” Georgiadis noted.

Historical Perspective, Not Populism

As a trained historian, Georgiadis draws comparisons not to inflame, but to inform.

“During WWII, cities like Bremen were bombed while the war was still ongoing. The Allies leveled cities full of civilians. So let’s stop pretending we don’t know how war works. I’m a historian. I know exactly what I’m saying.”

This isn’t about justifying civilian deaths. It’s about challenging the modern-day selectivity in outrage, and how justice often becomes a geopolitical tool.

Moral Superiority and Convenient Outrage

“I’ve posted videos showing Hamas terrorists killing children on swings. If these things had happened in Greece, I don’t know what people would say. Enough with the propaganda already.”

When the ICC ignores such acts but moves swiftly on other fronts, the line between justice and propaganda becomes blurry.

And that’s where Georgiadis draws a line.

Europe Is Changing — And Georgiadis Is Just Saying It Out Loud

On immigration, security, and social cohesion, Georgiadis warns that Western Europe is quietly shifting — not to the far-right, but to realism.

“Denmark’s entire migration policy was reshaped by its own Social Democrats — they became stricter not because they turned conservative, but because they saw what SYRIZA did in Greece and panicked.”

In other words, Europe isn’t drifting right — it’s waking up. And Georgiadis isn’t afraid to say so.

Justice Requires Trust — And the ICC Has Lost It

“A court that isn’t recognized by the U.S. or Israel is not a court I can easily recognize either. It plays politics — and Greece is wrong to accept it without scrutiny.”

Georgiadis doesn’t reject the idea of international justice. He questions the application — and the motives behind selective prosecutions.

In a Foggy World, Clarity Has a Cost

Adonis Georgiadis doesn’t speak in riddles. He speaks in direct terms, often to the discomfort of a political elite that prefers ambiguity.

“Tax policy is like the rudder of a plane. A small move by the pilot changes the direction of the entire aircraft. That’s what Mitsotakis did — quietly and precisely.”

That’s how he views politics. Not as performance — but as strategy, clarity, and courage.

“The era of the naïve progressive left is over,” he concluded.

“Societies are shifting — and it’s time we stop pretending otherwise.”

In a time when ambiguity is sold as sophistication, Georgiadis chooses clarity — and pays the political price for it. But that, perhaps, is exactly what leadership requires.
