We want a society without false dilemmas...
...without dreams...
...that others are paying for.
It says 'without a middleman'.
We have the right to deliver our products directly...
...and offer them directly.
We've added something important: 'Greek Product.'
And the production date.
Let the people eat potatoes.
Two years ago, a few producers in Thessaloniki...
...gave away their products for free...
...because they were angry that the prices were so low.
That's when the idea arose to keep the price low without middlemen.
Then the producers get a good price...
...and the profit no longer goes to the middleman.
And the consumer doesn't pay too much.
This concept spread across Greece.
The first week we started cautiously with 25 tons of potatoes...
...the week after it was 75 tons...
...and then straight up to 125 tons. So 200 tons of potatoes in six weeks.
225 tons.
It was a huge success, which we hadn't expected.
After Katerini it spread to other cities.
It was incredible.
Our group is not an institution or a company.
It doesn't belong to anything.
We are just a group of people with the same ideas...
...and we work together without a chairman or a board.
We just come together, we have the same ideas and insights...
...we order in bulk and get a good price.
We hope the concept of buying local products directly will catch on.
It's a sensible way of spending money and learning the value of things.
Let's say a kilo of potatoes costs 1.20 or 1.40 in the supermarket...
...people should know what the real price is.
They should become aware of it.
WE WILL NOT PAY FOR ANYONE'S CRISIS
Olympus, that's the brand name of our region.
Wherever you go...
...wherever you look, you see Olympus.
Olympus is the brand name here.
Of course we're afraid, because other mountains have been sold.
They've been turned into winter sports resorts...
...or holiday parks.
Our group doesn't want Mount Olympus to be sold.
We want to protect Mount Olympus...
...because it's the capital of this region. Greek mythology...
...that's what people come here for. Not for Olympus, that's just a mountain.
There are hundreds of other, perhaps greater, mountains in the world.
Our mythology, Zeus, is number one. Our history is special.
We should show that...
...but it doesn't mix well with hotels or winter sports resorts.
We mustn't kill the history of Olympus.
I don't want to go back to that fake world.
Our society must stand on its own two feet.
If it doesn't have shoes, it will stand on bare feet.
But society must find its own way.
I don't want to go back to the time when we went on holiday...
...with borrowed money.
When you couldn't pass a bank without being lured into taking out a loan...
...to buy houses, palaces and cars.
No, that's not what I want.
I want to go back to the days when we wiped our bums with newspapers.
I don't care. Go back, start over.
A fresh start.
That's the objective of our group.
The people here understand that.
To build a new society, without false dilemmas...
...and dreams that others pay for.
SAY NO TO TOLL
Calm down. One at a time.
Aren't we allowed in?
Let us in.
Go up one by one.
The company's interest can't override the lives and health of the people.
We know what happened with Suez in other countries...
...and we know what happened to the quality, price...
...and access to clean drinking water.
The UN states that everyone has the right to clean drinking water. End of story.
Imagine you ruled the country, would the people benefit from that?
That would be some democracy!
Hold a referendum, then we'll find out if the people want to sell the water.
If you want a democracy, what should we do with you?
Sorry, but enough is enough.
The foundation with the shares of the water company...
...money that belongs to everyone...
...this foundation has excluded our citizens' cooperations...
...from the sales procedure.
We didn't get any explanation...
...so we're going to take them to court to stop the procedure.
What the people in Movement 136 want...
...is a democratic and transparent management.
We want public goods and water...
...to be managed by the citizens themselves, as it is in our interest.
Welcome. - Good evening.
I brought a present for you from Crete.
It's a new type of brandy.
I hope you like it.
That's very nice of you. Thank you very much.
In these terrible times of privatizations...
...of selling off the nation's riches...
...they want to, on top of everything else...
...sell our right to live too.
That's what they'll be doing if they put the water up for auction.
Water is an indispensable part...
...of life itself, of human existence.
Everyone should have free access to it.
But the battle to obtain that right...
...is connected to the quality of democracy.
Let us start a movement of hope and optimism...
...to get back what was taken from us.
We want the right to live...
...to return in this country.
We will continue to fight.
The water we drink belongs to everyone, and should be clean.
They will not have it. Goodbye.
The light goes on. There...
You're talking to the audience.
Just as yourselves.
It's like the old days, when you paid the clown an egg...
...so he would make you laugh.
But even in this day and age, actors formed groups...
...of six people travelling across the whole region performing...
...traditional plays to Shakespeare.
They were paid in eggs, milk, a place to sleep.
We thought that was funny.
So we came up with the idea...
...to collect goods for orphanages.
All you need to bring is two cans of milk powder, let's say.
You hand them over at the ticket office and get a ticket for the show.
The food is taken straight to the orphanages.
There's no NGO in between, no one.
There's no need, because it's in the same town.
I'd find it strange if we didn't help out.
As if someone next to you falls down and you ask someone else to help him.
GREEK CHILDREN'S VILLAGE
You are more beautiful than the other one.
Who's the other one?
You're more beautiful.
We try to make good use of the materials we have.
This is the heart of the company. All the samples come from here, all products.
Everything is tested here before it goes into production.
This is the production room.
From here, all products go to the packaging department.
Everything is operated here.
Everything is computerized.
There, you can see how many kilos go in...
...and it comes up there.
This is where we put down the bottles, and that's the packaging robot.
It can process two tons per hour on its own.
The only thing we do is put the bottles on...
...and then they're counted.
Everything comes from here...
...and the laser will print:
'Greek Product', and the production date.
Very important.
When it leaves here...
...it will get a logo that says: No middlemen.
We can put on this logo, because this goes straight to the consumer.
And we print 'Greek Product' on it.
Next to the production date.
That's very important.
And here, as I said before...
...is my name, Savas, and 'Ferto', which means brought directly.
That's very important to me.
That's nearly done. As you can see, we run a huge production.
The factory is running thanks to the citizens' movement.
Without it, the people here wouldn't have a job.
In my office there's a drawer full of bounced checks, loans.
Checks, see?
The last one was from someone from Katerini. I said: I don't accept checks.
These are all checks.
Checks, checks, checks.
This is all money.
290,000 euros. 290,000 euros which I never received.
The last one is from one of us, from Katerini.
I said: I don't take checks. But I got them anyway.
If you get stuck, you know where to find me, he said.
So you see, lots of checks.
Stamped, all stamped differently.
3,500, 13,500 euros, all money. Lots of money.
So I say: The movement gives us little profit and lots of work...
...but thank God we get cash in hands.
I have to pay my employees.
I can't tell them at end of the month: I can't pay you.
They work for me. If I want to expand the company...
...with a toilet paper department, I need two more people.
And they need to work day and night.
Unemployment is high. This way they can stay here, they won't leave.
What good is money to me? I work the whole day, I have no choice.
That's why this is so important to me.
Anything else?
Our local government, and this applies to the whole of Greece...
...can do very little in terms of the economy.
Between 2010 and 2013 the municipality's budget...
...was cut by 60%...
...with regards to government revenue.
Now, about the market without middlemen...
...and other, 'fruits of this time', so to speak...
...where products come onto the market...
...at far lower prices than in the supermarket.
We will have to find a balance...
...it's not that we favour one over the other.
These movements are like businesses.
In addition to the stimuli from the government...
...the municipality can contribute too, by not charging administration fees.
It's not a lot, but it's something.
Or by facilitating their locations.
By renting out council-owned shops or stands...
...at a lower cost. There's not much more we can do.
We would like to work together with these citizens' movements.
The ideas, what they expect of us...
...is that local governments need to get rid of...
...this high threshold that scares people off.
Citizens are scared to visit the city council...
...out of fear they will get into trouble, or will be fined.
That worries me.
But I think they're gradually getting over that.
These citizens' movements...
...should serve as an example...
...to people who throw their rubbish out in the street.
We need to do something about that.
This citizens' movement is the only way to achieve that.
We were having problems with the middlemen.
That's why we started the cooperation.
The problem with the middlemen...
...was that due to the crisis, we got low prices for our milk.
The crisis has changed everything.
The consumers as well as us.
If it wasn't for the crisis, we wouldn't have come up with this movement
We would go to the supermarkets like wholesalers.
But then we'd have the same problems, with middlemen and so on.
The crisis was a wake-up call, it was an incentive for us...
...to go straight to the consumers.
A large company needs distributors to sell its products.
But we can deliver it directly to the consumer.
That gives us room to compete.
That's why we can play around with the price.
If you only breed cattle, you can't turn your milk into cheese.
Because you don't have the right equipment.
So if you're a farmer you also have to control the process...
...that has to do with cheese production.
We now produce our own milk and try to set up a good price...
...because the cooperation is big and has a cheese factory.
We can expand our sales network throughout Greece...
...and even abroad.
We can continue to grow as long as the quality isn't jeopardized.
The cheese that we make with our milk...
...is of a very high quality.
If you grow too fast and need more volume...
...you should stop that expansion to prevent compromising the quality.
I want to start up an ecological farm near Edessa.
I would like to grow mainly one product there which I call 'paprika'...
...which is a cross between the local red pointed pepper and a tomato.
I try to combine traditional ideas and recipes...
...with the needs of the modern woman.
I think that's a trend these days.
My goal is to get products...
...which we will grow on our own land, in our own environment.
I want to cultivate them myself...
...and deliver them to consumers myself.
That way I can explain what to do with them.
Of course I need capital.
I would like to come up with that myself.
I don't want a subsidy or loan.
That's why I'm starting step by step...
...with as little capital as possible.
It helps that I don't need any machines.
My passion is my most important capital.
I worked as an accountant for 20 years.
A regular office job.
Now I have the prospect of doing something creative.
This second choice is the best thing that could have happened to me.
I don't know if it will be a success, but it will be a valuable experience anyway.
And I do hope it will be a success.
