Kazantzakis in Cambridge: Political Worries, 1946

A letter from Nikos Kazantzakis, dated Cambridge, August 29, 1946:

"I'm very worried about the plebiscite. What's going to happen afterward? Where are we going? From here, I see only darkness. But let's not talk politics. It's alarming!..."

(from Nikos Kazantzakis, A Biography Based on his Letters, by Helen Kazantzakis, translated by Amy Mims, 1968).

What would he have said about the political situation now?

People have similar fears.
