Everything I hear about Greece shows it to be a completely shit country.
Because it is. And I say that as a Greek myself.
Greece has been ruled by corrupt politicians for pretty much its entire modern history. Rich people never get prosecuted for the crimes they commit, heath and education are severely underfunded with outdated equipment, badly maintained facilities and underpaid personnel, press freedom is deteriorating and governments push for neoliberal “reforms” like these.
Would you mind elaborating? No pressure. I spent time there as a kid in the 90s and have a lot of nostalgia for the place, but I haven’t engaged with the place as an adult and I’m way out of touch so I’m genuinely curious.
I went to Athens not too long ago. There were so many homeless and poor people. I don’t know if the country has ever really recovered from the financial crisis.
