He uses humorous references and analogies to emphasize the lack of seriousness in the political debate. Furthermore, the author comments on the decision of Marios Karogian not to run in the upcoming parliamentary elections, expressing the belief that this decision is not due to fear of defeat, but to his desire to give opportunities to young people.
