Quote: XXIII Congress of the Socialist International, Athens Global Solidarity: The courage to make a difference 30 JUNE-02 JULY 2008 ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SOCIALIST INTERNATIONAL, GEORGE A. PAPANDREOU Dear Friends, Dear Comrades, You are in Greece and I am proud to welcome you – the representatives of a movement - which has done more than any other throughout the last century to place the individual at the heart of human progress. This is the movement that has put the demos into the word democracy. Demos in Greek means ‘the people’. This is the movement that has struggled to give voice to the voiceless. This is the movement that has challenged the myth that the few have a right to control what the majority have, what the majority should think, or what each and every one of us should say. This is the movement that has challenged the myth that peoples cannot govern themselves because they do not have the knowledge to do so effectively. This is the movement that knows that oppression of one means oppression of all. This is the movement that has stood for social change - we have fought for the liberation of all human beings. Liberation from inequality, from insecurity, from persecution. Liberation from illiteracy, from extreme poverty, from fundamentalism. Liberation from torture, terror and war. These freedoms are our rights. Freedoms, rights that ensure the actualization of human potential. That is why we differ from our conservative adversaries. For us, social welfare is not a burden, but a necessary freedom for development. For us, human rights are not an obstacle but a necessary freedom to ensure security. For us, education is not limited to the few and supposedly brightest – most often richest. Education is a necessary freedom to bring out the sparkling talent within each and every one of us
