The political career of one of the most brilliant Greek minds was brief. Writer Nikos Dimou, famous for his freethinking and known to the Bulgarian audience for his work "On The Misfortune Of Being Greek," was forced to leave “To Potami” Party which was established just a month ago by television journalist Stavros Theodorakis.

In early April, Nikos Dimou published his "Anti-religious and anti-communist" reflections in the online edition protagon.gr, in which, among other things, he said: " The closer we get to Easter, I think again about the money we will spend to bring the (supposedly) Holy Light and to welcome it with honours," as well as: "In recent years we have become accustomed to calling people "anti-communists" and equate them with "fascists" and in this way destroy their public life."

Of course, these reflections did not remain unnoticed by both the conservative right and the progressive left and creator of "To Potami" Stavros Theodorakis publicly announced that his views differ from those of Nikos Dimou. After this statement, the writer announced his resignation from the party. "And since I have not received an answer, I believe that my resignation has been accepted," said the writer publicly. "I was not in a management position, I was an ordinary member," explained the intellectual.

This is the first rift in the Party which was created just a month ago and which has marked record support despite the fact that its opponents often criticize it about its unclear funding. And since every evening it is advertised on the newscast of Mega TV, owned by the Bobolas, it is suspected that precisely these interests provide the financial support for Theodorakis.
