Mikis Filaniotis (Cyprus) speech at the Global Conference on Multipolarity
Mikis Filaniotis (Cyprus) – Member of the International Russophile Movement
Hello! I am Mikis Philaniotis from the Republic of Cyprus. I am a member of the Coordinating Council of the International Movement of Russophiles. And I begin my speech with one phrase in Greek:
Αγαπητοί φίλοι που συμμετέχετε στη διάσκεψη, σας χαιρετώ!
This means:
Hello, dear friends, participants in this conference!
Hello fighters for justice, for equality, for freedom and for a multipolar world!
It may sound like revolutionary slogans! But I assure you, and you understand that they are really revolutionary, because this is the turning point in global geopolitics and economics that gives us the impetus to act. Our civilization demands it. If we do not act now, if we do not stand up and fight to change the system of world governance, to bring a new world order, to dismantle unjust hegemony of unipolar world, the policy of economic globalization, neocolonialism, double standards, then without all the above, we will continue to roll downhill and continue to live like slaves, like second-rated people as a huge colony of the US elite.
We must not miss this chance or we will go down miserably in the history and next generations will reproach or even curse us for the failure to act, for missing this chance, for lacking courage to embark on this cause and bring it to a happy end. And that goal cannot be other than changing a unipolar world into a multipolar world.
Dear those who inspired and organized this global conference! I sincerely congratulate and thank you for this idea! You are now writing the history of the new world! This is the first step!
It is the first spark that will turn into a big fire that will burn away today's enslaving unipolar world. It is a small wave that will turn into a great tsunami that will sweep away in its path, all the current injustices that make us feel humiliated. We are people with no national pride and no rights to determine our national interests and our peoples. Of course, both fire and tsunami are a metaphor and do not mean any violence or illegal actions. All of that is missing from our vocabulary. We are a peaceful people.
I am especially glad to see next to the Latin American intelligentsia our International Movement of Russophiles, which acts as a co-organizer and is taking its first confident steps, in the right direction. We, Russophiles, support your initiative because, as our President, Nikolai Malinov, pointed out, one of the values , enshrined in our manifesto, is to strengthen "people's diplomacy" in defense of a multipolar, peaceful and harmonious world.
After the collective West, led by the U.S., has ignored all Russia’s proposals on the peaceful settlement and global security, it became clear what danger the ultimate global hegemon is posing to the world and how much pressure it exercises on it. The U.S. is trying to maximize profits by destroying the economies of other countries, even the European Union. As a citizen of the EU, I am ashamed of today's unworthy leaders of Europe and the European Union, who, instead of protecting the interests of their peoples, obediently follow the instructions of the USA and the Anglo-Saxons, destroying the economy and advantageous energy policy of their countries in favor of the USA.
Now look how timely the UK divorced the EU! Thousands of sanctions announced, embargoes, seizures of property, assets and deposits, legal actions, bans and everything that is easily described as piratical behavior of a state. The main goal of the West now, is to strangle and destroy the economy and the social and public system of Russia. Thank God, the BRICS countries and other Asian, Arab and African countries have understood that Russia is the first out- post in this battle. Just as the Soviet Union took the most powerful blow from the Wehrmacht in '41, so now Russia is taking a very strong military and economic blow from the collective West and NATO countries. All countries should now unite around Russia and support it as they know they will be the next victims.
Now we have to unilaterally halt that destructive policy of the unipolar world. Western hegemony, like a new fascism and Nazism in its modern form, must be stopped. It is only through alliance, friendship, cooperation, mutual respect for the sovereignty and interests of each country in a multipolar world format that humanity and the peoples of the world can escape from modern slavery.
Peoples will regain their national pride and identity, which they lost in globalization. If we love our children and grandchildren, we have only one path -the one to a multipolar world and we must reach it and win.
Full ahead, dear comrades-in-arms, intellectuals and fighters for a brighter future, for a just multipolar world.
We, the members of the International Movement of Russophiles, are ready to fight along with you, for the common good. For the good of mankind! Let's toil hard, brothers! Together we are Power! God is with us and Victory will be ours! Long live the multipolar world!
Thank you for your attention!
I popoli ritroveranno il loro orgoglio nazionale e la loro identità
Volkeren zullen hun nationale trots en identiteit terugkrijgen
Los pueblos recuperarán su orgullo e identidad nacionales
Die Völker werden ihren Nationalstolz und ihre Identität wiedererlangen
Les peuples retrouveront leur fierté et leur identité nationales
