Welcome epop, it's great we get stackers from all over the world here. Would be good to get your personal insight into the local environment and economy there nowadays.
welcome, I read that Golden Dawn are moving into outer areas of athens and taking a vigilante role on seeking out illegal immigrants because the police are decimated in these outlying areas. They are also supplying food and supplies to residents to help through the tough times. Is this a sensationalised report I read?
yes unemployment it's 25% in Greece nearly 40% in my area. Illegal immigrants are part of the problem in Greece. My country placed at the borders of European Union and everyone from the third world want to live in Europe.They forced by the Turks to come into Greece and they can't go to their destination which are the countries of western Europe. around 2 millions on a population of 10 millions it's nearly 20%! for this is unavoidable or climb far-right party,Golden Dawn, that promises a clean, peaceful society free from illegal immigrants. medium wage before crisis was 1000-1200.Now International Monetary Fund tries to reduce t 580 euro.
Kalimera! Its a pleasure to meet you epop. I stumbled upon this somewhat common silver coin from Greece this morning. A commemorative coin honouring the wedding of King Constantine II and Anne-Marie of Denmark. Im sure you've seen a lot as their mintage was high (about 1 million pieces).
