# Έλληνες προσοχή! Όσοι αγαπούν αληθινά την Ελλάδα ψηφίζουν Λαϊκόν Κόμμα (Greeks, beware! Those who truly love Greece vote Populist Party)

Colour poster: two cartoon figures marked 'K.K.', and a red cloth also marked 'K.K.', hauled out from under a big tied sack beside a tower resembling Thessaloniki's White Tower, above the slogan 'Greeks, beware! Those who truly love Greece vote Populist Party'. The tell: love of country is made the test of a party vote, so any other vote reads as not loving Greece.
