THE DIARY GAME SEASON 3: BETTER LIFE 13 APRIL 2021 Duplicity

I said in a previous post that part of our negative external image is due to the politics of politicians. Here I believe that the duplicity of our foreign policy has played and continues to play an important role. Probably, in a way, duplicity was the consequence of our geographical position at the confluence of the interests of more than a third of the world's population. Perhaps duplicity has helped us to continue our existence as a nation and as a state. Think of the circumstances of World War II — both a western and an eastern region had been occupied. It was an extremely difficult decision on which side to fight. And so we came to statistics with a leading place in the war effort of both sides. I don't think I had much choice.

But much more recently, in the 1990s, the then president (three times president), in political moments, is really agitated, but clear as evolution, he hurried to sign a shameful treaty. I believe that its non-validation is the only positive point I remember from the activity of the parliament. It was too "sheepish" (I use a recent symbol) even for them, for parliament. However, the distrust generated by the daddy's gesture kept us out of the political area that interested us for many years. I am convinced that the rest of the arguments - economics, convergence,… - are just pretexts. I have previously given the example of the Baltic States. But we also find duplicity in domestic politics - one we declare, another we do. Duplicity is not the attribute of a state, but of the people who represent it. I told you that I studied some other lists than the black one. Duplicity is not that of "sins." Someone should propose it.
