Summary/Abstract: This study tries to analyze the political discourse, trying to find helping points in the interconnection between the logical truth and factual truth. Amongst the logical deductions and the maze of the truths, the writing, based on the thoughts of Hannah Arendt and Ludwig Wittgenstein, arrives at pinpointing the political playground, the rules of which are being tried to be defined by the logos/lexis. The rewriting, reinterpreting of the past, the erasing of the facts past and present does not however happen in hollow space, but is being brought before the publicity of the agora.
