George Koumoutsakos returns with an updated edition - an occasion for dialogue on the role of social media in political events.
"Retweeting Politics" includes a selection of positions and thoughts by the Member of Parliament and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, from 2015 to the present day, on issues that go beyond the narrow limits of current affairs and prove to be interesting positions on foreign policy as well as interesting positions on the relationship between politics and social media by Areti Georgili, Vivian Efthymiopoulou, Sofia Zacharaki, Lefteris Kousoulis, Paschalis Mandravelis, and Dimitris Tsiodras.
A particularly timely issue, especially in view of the upcoming elections.

"Twitter is a provocative medium.
Always open. Available. To you, but also to everyone. It offers the opportunity for challenge at the same time as it provides the trap. Those of us who "tweet" politics have faced both "rewards" and "honors". Confronted with our mistakes, with our impulsiveness and haste.
The digital "public sphere" can elevate a politician.
But it can also harm him. Sometimes fatally.
A tweet is seemingly accompanied by ease.
However, politics must not be impulsive and superficial. The choice of "posting" must be agonizing.
The tweets selected here were written with these thoughts as a guide. Each one of them is a seal. In its encoded language, my political philosophy is succinctly reflected. My perception of Democracy. The conditions of coexistence. The country's course. Its foreign relations. Its position in the world. Its relationship with contemporary history.
We are our words.
We could say that we are also our tweets."
