I really appreciate that you also cover serious problems like these. The reason I am learning Greek is not to order souvlaki on a beach restaurant, but to understand the country, the people and their history. Well done! More of this!
This is so substantial, the only good reason to learn a language
Thank you! What would you like to see more of?
Greek is more than a language. Is a philosophical system. And remember, speaking Greek, makes you Greek. It's a great feeling apart the the todays situation. Wish you the best.
@@EasyGreekVideos I would really LOVE videos about Greek literature, the most famous poets and writers and so on.
I would also like politics and history but I understand that this would be narrowing your public a lot I guess and would also often be quite controversial. For example talking about the historical figure Nikos Zachariadis, or Velouchiotis and so on could be very interesting. Like an interview asking people what they think about them.
@@EasyGreekVideos Well, why not start with the music in Greece, and I mean the music that ordinary people listen to: pop, rock, metal, hip-hop, folk, and of course, rembetika! Which are the important bands and artists? What is the history of each genre in Greece? Where do you go in Athens (and elsewhere i Greece) if you want to listen to a specific kind of music?
You could interview the musicians themselves and let them tell us about the music they play. I have more ideas, but I save them for another time.
The reason I left Greece is that my hard-working wage was less than my grandfather's pension. With such an aged population, the country decided to prioritize it's most important voters (pensioners) over the youth. Additionally, I cannot get over that the political parties that bankrupted us in the first place are still ruling the country instead of every single one of them being in prison. My 2 cents.
@giokun100 As a Greek I can't agree with you more. It is no longer a country but a place of death with a population awaiting its expiration date, long overdue.
Well said 👏..but nobody is listening.
@@tkkapesomeone does it
Same corruption here in Turkiye...may be worse... so sad.... İ can't find words to describe my feelings...
¡ WE HATE YOU !
You stole our Capital city Constantinople and will never forget that until we get it back 🇬🇷☦️
i think you are in a much better position since the most crucial factor the currency is your own ! ! ! ! ! the euro currency is DEATH ! ! ! ! ! when we adopted the euro everything was up more than 3-4 times.
a medium salary with drachmas for example 150.000 drachmas was a very good salary if you translate it in euro which is about 350euros is utter SHIT !!!!!!
plus Erdogan i see him as a true patriot for you while ours are Brussels / washington puppets absolutely no power at all.
Thank you my friend ❤❤❤❤
Seeng how your lira falling is really scaring. Irresponsible politics are everywhere
That's the reason that governments keep the tension between us brother from turkey. So they rob us and we focus on bullshit political matters.
Συγνομη για τη ελλενηκα κακη. Ακομα μαθω. Οταν ακουω το βιντεο αυτο, νιοθω οτι η Ελλαδα ειναι πως η Νεο Μεξικο στη ΗΠΑ. Εχουμε προβλημα πολυ ομια απο εσεις. Μαθω η ελληνικα γιατι θελω να διαβαζω τη αγια γραφη στη ελληνικα, χορις λεχιλογος. Αλλα επιδι ειναι μια χορα σιμερα και δεν μονο στη ηστορια, ηθελα να καταλαβαινω ποιο απο η χορα αυτη ομορφη.
Sorry for the bad Greek. I feel like a lot of these problems are also present in New Mexico in the United States. The fed government sees number go up and ignores the reality on the ground.
Ευχαριστω πολυ να κανετε οι βιδεοι αυτοι.
Thank you for your comment!
Sorry to say but things in Greece is worse than that at New Mexico.
Great Job On greek. We d WORSE in Chinese. if you read the Bible in greek it would only terrify you It Crazy SCARY. BYT Go get The GENEVA Version of Bible. It s said it is th ACCUREST
Εγώ έφυγα από την Ελλάδα το 2011, αφού πήρα πτυχίο και δούλεψα στο επάγγελμά μου ένα χρόνο για Έλληνα εργοδότη. Εκτός από καλύτερες επαγγελματικές προοπτικές, ο μεγαλύτερος λόγος για μένα ήταν η νοοτροπία. Αν και ήμουν προγραμματίστρια (και μάλιστα η μοναδική, αφού τους είχαν απολύσει όλους), μου έλεγαν να τους κάνω καφέδες και να τους καθαρίζω να τασάκια. Τόσα χρόνια στο εξωτερικό που δουλεύω κανένας άλλος εργοδότης δε μου έχει φερθεί έτσι.
Πήγαινε στην Αμερική, σαν 'Υπότροφος", και θα δουλέυεις 12/7/355. ΚΑΛΗ ΤΥΧΗ ΜΕ ΤΑ ΛΑΜΟΓΙΑ! Και θα σου δίνουν πενταροδεκάρες. Ειδικά την Αμερική, που μου έδωσε 3 πλήρεις υποτροφίες, την ΜΙΣΩ. Αντίθετα, στην Ελλάδα, ΟΛΟΙ μου φέρονταν με απόλυτο ΣΕΒΑΣΜΟ και είχα αποδοχές ανάλογες με τα μεταπτυχιακά μου (3).
Tell that to Mr. Mizotakis, the worst prime minister even from Tsipra. Every year the life in Greece is getting worse and the Greek people vote 🗳 every time for the deputy who promises a job in the government. Marry Christmas 🎄. No just the politicians but the every day citizen is responsible for the current situation in Greece. BTW I left Greece 50 years ago and after volunteer to go to river Evros during the Turkish invasion in my beloved Cyprus.
@@billiosi7448 you do know, in Greece, because Greece has become a hot tourist destination, they are now charging US prices in just about very restaurant and that is why Greeks can't survive.
I left Greece to do my Master's degree in another EU country. Now that I've spent 1 year in a significantly more functional and advanced EU country, I am really trying to find a reason to go back to Greece after I graduate, other than nice weather and cuisine.
I have great ambitions and dream big, I want a nice job related to my field of study, I want to be able to run my own business without risking it all, I want to travel the world, and I've tried to do that in Greece but it was very, very hard. I feel betrayed by the greek government, and also by the people voting for or supporting all this corruption. It really breaks my heart because I love my home country deeply, but I really won't waste my youth trying to make things better on my own.
Or... maybe I did find a reason to return: seeing people rise up, resisting the corrupt system, and fighting against the injustices we face, together. Like the brothers and sisters we are. To save our beautiful country, our identity. United and with no fear.
I support this notion.
Me too ! I would like to return and hope that we will build this country one day.
@@TheButterflyInTheCountrysideπιστεύω ότι οι περισσότεροι Έλληνες της ομογένειας, ιδίως εμείς οι νέοι, το ίδιο αισθανόμαστε και μας πονάει πολύ η κατάσταση πίσω...
Or as someone who left Greece, a long time ago. Returning when it is time to retire.
In order for the country to live and function as a healthy organization, and put the good of the Greeks in Greece first, it is necessary to fight for it, verbally and physically, if necessary. Spain, Italy, France and Portugal face similar problems of tourism, it is possible to adopt successful practices of the fight for rights, freedom and anti-corruption. It is necessary to radicalize the society so that the society DEMANDS correct actions to protect the indigenous population.
Tourism and digital nomads are converting Greece into a Disney park.
Foreigners are buying the houses/apartments (most of the time, to rent it via Airbnb and make profit)and there is such a high demand that the prices are skyrocketing and greeks can not afford those prices...
There is an assimilation process going on......Everything is focused for the tourism.
The always excellent quality of greek products, won't be important anymore. Profit and money will be. At the end of the day, tourist won't notice it since there is plenty of sun, beach and alcohol.
Is so sad
i offer to you this: it's not the "foreign" in the "foreigners" that is the problem, it is that they are rich. specifically, they are rich off of you & your labor. a "foreigner" who is a refugee will have very little with which to hurt you, but a rich "investor" will destroy your neighborhood and make the destruction look pretty.
Tourism and digital nomads are very different things though no? Digital nomads actually pay taxes in Greece (though it depends on law and number of days stayed there)
Greeks could become digital nomads on their own country instead of crying every day. I'm fed up with their attitude. Greek families are just filling their children's heads with stupid values like ''I'm too clever to become a plumber or electrician'' or ''I must work in an office''. Many foreigners manage to come to Greece, not only digital nomads, but people with simple and healthy values ready to do many other jobs Greek families tell their children not to do.
You are absolutely right. Take for example poor but touristic paradise destinations, like Thailand, Brazil, Indonesia. This is what is happening to Greece. A poor country for tourists
@@ewanmcewen6659 Digital nomads don't really pay taxes in Greece.
As a French living overseas and doing all sorts of jobs, I came to Greece in my late 30's. I liked it so much that I decided to stay even though I was broke, literally. Everyone thought I was crazy : I didn't speak Greek, no "decent" jobs or poorly paid. First, I worked in the tourism industry in the summer, picking olives in the winter, not earning much but still very happy to be here. Now I work online, earning more but that's not the most important. The most important to me is the quality of social life. I can have that in Greece, so far so good.
They only reason I am still living (not leaving) in Greece is that I am working remotely at a company abroad and get paid much higher than the average wage in Greece.

@@willtherealgeorgemichaelpl5879 Γλώσσα λανθάνουσα την αλήθεια λέει.
Εγώ συμφωνώ. Έφυγα στο εξωτερικό για επαγγελματικές ευκαιρίες πριν την κρίση. Πλέον θα ήθελα να επιστρέψω και να προσφέρω στον τόπο μου αλλά πως να το κάνω αν πάμε κάθε χρόνο και χειρότερα; κατά την γνώμη μου όλα τα κακά ξεκινάνε από την έλλειψη δικαιοσύνης. Τα υπόλοιπα έπονται.
Η Ελλάδα αν έχεις άνεση είναι η καλύτερη χώρα με τη διασκέδαση την ηρεμία το μεράκι το φιλότιμο .Αλλά φίλε μου μη γυρίσεις και εγώ φεύγω !Καιρός ήταν αν θες να ακολουθήσεις το όνειρο σου...σου εύχομαι τα καλύτερα ο Θεός μαζί σου.
Είναι το φυσικό επακόλουθο σε μια χώρα με τόση διαφθορά, κάποια στιγμή η διαφθορά αυτή να αγγίξει και ανεξάρτητους θεσμούς.
Το πρόβλημα είναι ότι όσοι έχουν εξουσία ή είναι σε υψηλές θέσεις είναι μέρος μιας μεγάλης μαφίας και ο ένας σώζει τον άλλον από τις βρωμοδουλειες του. Για να υπάρξει ένα καλύτερο μέλλον πρέπει να φύγουν ΌΛΟΙ μα ΟΛΟΙ από την κυβέρνηση και τις υψηλές θέσεις
In my opinion, the greek citizens allow this to happen. Because they are mostly komatoskila.
Αυτό το επεισόδιο με έκανε να λυπηθώ βαθύτατα. Δημήτρη ειπες όλα αυτά που σκεφτόμαστε αλλά φοβόμαστε να παραδεχτούμε γιατί θα χάσουμε ακομα και την ελάχιστη ελπίδα που μας έχει απομείνει. Το μεγαλύτερο πρόβλημα της Ελλάδας είναι η διαφθορά- πιο απροκάλυπτη και ξεδιάντροπη από κάθε άλλη ευρωπαϊκή χώρα. Δυστυχώς η κοινωνική διαστρωμάτωση θα γίνεται όλο και πιο έντονη οι αδικίες, η εγκληματικότητα και ο αναλφαβητισμός θα επανέλθουν σε επίπεδα μεταπολεμικά. Είμαι φοιτήτρια ιατρικής και η πλειοψηφία των συμφοιτητών μου θέλει να φύγει εξωτερικό αμέσως μετά την αποφοίτηση. Αυτό που με στεναχωρεί περισσότερο ειναι οτι κίνητρο ειναι τα περισσότερα χρήματα και αναγνώριση. Στον ιατρικό τομέα τουλάχιστον πρέπει να μείνουμε και να παλέψουμε όσο δύσκολες και αν ειναι οι συνθήκες. Να παλέψουμε για τον κόσμο που δεν έχει την οικονομική δυνατότητα να παρακολουθείται ιδιωτικά και οι ίδιοι οι άνθρωποι να συνδράμουν στον αγώνα αυτό. Τα πλούτη δεν έχουν καμία αξία μπροστά στους ανθρώπους.
Όταν μια κοινωνία δεν ανταμείβει τους ιατρούς, κάτι δεν πάει καλά!
I was a secretary to an American agency here in Athens for 25 years, which company left Greece as same products from China were much cheaper and everybody was buying from there. I would have left Greece but my mother was and still is, in a very bad condition concerning her health. Through our Office for Unemployment the only job offered due to my age was ...cleaning the streets and public toilets, or being a security or as a worker in the public gardens. I did some of those with no complaints but I was feeling useless, all those things I have learned and all my studies were in vain. Lucky me and Greece that I am still here...but with broken wings.
It's sad to see that what has been happening for a few decades now in my country, Bulgaria, is happening in Greece as well. I travel often throughout Greece and you can see the same symptoms, areas getting depopulated, industries closed, derelict buildings, unaffordable prices for properties and communal services and a lot more similar "beauties" of the neo liberal economic thought that all the mainstream experts are telling us is top of the top. Maybe it's good for 5% of the people but it's a disaster for everybody else.
Would you say that the situation in Bulgaria is improving at least?
Strange that the country is being "depopulated" but that there are "unafordable prices for properties" as, in fact, real estate prices are rising fast in Greece., very fast in Athens and Kalamata for example.
@@EasyGreekVideos Well it would take a lot of writing to explain the whole situation but there's no escaping one very concerning fact. 35 years ago Bulgaria had a population of 9 million people and now it's less than 6 million with disastrous demographic structure, predominantly older people. Apart from Sofia and 2-3 more cities that are still managing somehow everything else steadily depopulates. It's really hard to find quality jobs in most of the places.
@@carolmorrow4095 I don't thing it's that uncommon for Europe. That's almost everywhere. Recently there was a statistic saying that for each 1000 Bulgarians there are something like 660 apartments which is quite a lot but yet the prices are more and more unaffordable. If real estate marked is not heavily regulated it will be like that.
@@carolmorrow4095 the rise of pricing is not because demography but mainly because of general mmi based economic approach with its credit bubbling and weak administration of property taxation
Μπράβο βρε Δημήτρη! Και μπραβο που αναφερθηκες κ στα Τέμπη
Όχι, δεν έχει ξεχαστεί το θέμα όπως λένε...
Χρειάζεται αυτό το βίντεο. Βλέπω την ομοιότητα ανάμεσα στην Ισπανία και στην Ελλάδα. Όπως εσείς μόνο έχετε "ένα" οικονομικό κέντρο (η Αθήνα) που πια είναι γεμάτο, οι άνθρωποι πρέπει να φεύγουν. Τα χωριά μας και οι μικρές πόλεις από την Ισπανία πεθάνουν πάμε σε ένα μέλλον όπου μόνο η Μαδρίτη, η Βαρκελώνη και άλλες 2-3 περισσότερες πόλεις θα φέρουν δουλεία και κάθε φορά με περισσότερη βάση του τουρισμού...
Ελπίζω η Ελλάδα να μη γίνει σαν την Ελλάδα από αυτήν την άποψη. Το αντίθετο θα έπρεπε να συμβεί!
Pero vosotros teneis mucho mas dinero al nivel de estado, los imigrantes de Latinoamerica ayudan bastante con la economia aunque tambien hay problema demografico y generalmente, hay mas de todo: produccion industrial, agricultura, turismo y tal. Grecia es pequena, en un barrio de Europa muy problematico y mas y mas con poca gente en todo.
La gente se va, se queda fuera y nuestra cultura tambien se pierde cada dia. Nada ya existira en el proximo siglo, yo estoy cien por cien seguro.

Thank you for addressing this topic. I lived abroad most of my life, and always returned to Greece for rest and relaxation. Now I am a Senior Citizen. I was a Forensic psychologist.
1. I return to Greece to introduce a subject that the Hellenic Army Academy was lacking. It took me three years, and I also, wrote their training manual. They did not pay me. I made 'exodiko'. The Ministry of Defense said that they will not use the manual. They said only 'monimi' can write manuals (although I was hired for this specific course.)
2. I published an article in the monthly magazine of 'Dimosia Taxi' (police) and they published it with another person's name. Need to go one?
3. I published a book in Greek language with a famous Publishing company. They printed 1000 copies, and I received 92 Euro.
I have stopped teaching Greeks in Greece, and I have stopped publishing my works in Greece, and I found my health and my peace of mind. As long as I live, I will have nothing to do with Greeks. Yes, I am a Digital Nomad, and I am 72 years old.
Yet, here you are, in the Easy Greek channel :)
You've learned your lesson about what greece and greeks are all about.
Thank you for covering this very sad but important topic (the fact that at the same time it makes me practice my Greek listening comprehension is a bonus, but this time not the main point). The pain you feel about the situation can be seen on your face throughout the video. Greece is a wonderful country, and not just for its amazing landscape, history and great food - I have always found the people there to be incredibly welcoming, genuinely warm and friendly, at a level I haven´t found elsewhere. Every time I arrive there I feel immediately at home away from home. At the same time I have to wonder how the average Greek can survive, every time I see the e.g. the prices in the supermarket which are about the same as in my home country Austria, or the cost of electricity, whereas the average salary is just a fraction. At times I feel guilty at being one of "those foreign tourists" which are as much part of the problem (indirectly driving up prices for everyone) as they are seen as part of the solution (bringing in much-needed money)...
You can make a difference by supporting local economies and not corporations! Buy local, stay local, go to places that haven't yet been completely changed by tourism.
@@EasyGreekVideos Very true and on top this gives a much better, individual experience. Big corporations, chain restaurants and so on tend to be very similar no matter where you go - and after all going somehwere for me is specifically to experience something different from what I know. And hotels - the family-run ones are so much more enjoyable.
I left Greece after finishing school and spent more than 20 years studying and working in 5 countries. Now at 40+, I returned and set up my business here because I wanted to have a better day-to-day quality of life (this may be surprising to many, but it's true) and raise my daughter as Greek rather than an expat child. Going to a different country will not necessarily improve your life. People tend to focus only on the negative characteristics of Greece (which we all know), and do not seem to understand that there is no paradise (in terms of work and life) out there waiting for them. In fact, leaving your country to go abroad is the beginning of a new major challenge rather than a solution to all problems. Life is different for everyone, so my experience may not be relevant to all. My humble advice to young people (if I can give any) is this. Try to improve yourself and develop skills whether you are in Greece or elsewhere. If you have an opportunity elsewhere that can help you improve as a person and professional, you should definitely consider it! However, have a vision about what you really want in your life in the long term. Best of luck to all my Greeks at home and abroad!
thank you for this comment. people tend to think that going abroad will automatically make their lives better. while it may be true for the most part, there is still the possibility that you end up more or less on the same boat. for example, in other EU countries there are higher wages, but i personally know two examples where it was impossible for them to pay the enormous rent and their parents had to contribute for years until they got a more decent wage. not everything is black and white.
Ok leave and go where. The same problems exist in all of Europe.
Παιδιά μην ακούτε,,και να πας στο εξωτερικό δεν έχεις μέλλον γιατί το μυαλό είναι στην Ελλάδα οπότε θα έχεις κάτι ευρώ παραπάνω αλλά δεν θα είσαι καλά,,επειδή το δοκίμασα εγώ και πήγα στην Νορβηγία ,ναι έχει ζέστη αλλά και εδώ δεν μπορείς να ζεις μέσ

@@chrsf589 not really!!! Don´t believe the media for example about the bad economic situation in Germany and that they try to compare it with the Greek economic problems. This is so funny!
Fact is, if you have tried to achieve some of you dreams in Greece and you couldn´t try it abroad, you can always go back, especially if you don´t have children.
I know so many people who went abroad and after 10 years with a lot of experience in their field came back to Greece and work either for Companies in Greece with a competitive salary or, even better, remote for a company in an EU-Country!
Greece was on the fast track to becoming a banana republic for a while now.
If the government was really concerned they would’ve tackled the enormous amount of corruption and never allowed short term rentals, golden visas, lack of competition and the sale of the country to the highest bidders to go unchecked. It needs to invest in it’s people and diversify its economy and not rely so much from tourism if it is going to thrive.
The amount of Golden Visas issued annually isn't very much and it's far from unchecked as new increases pushed Golden visa price up from 250k purchase to mostly 800k purchase meaning they have essentially killed the program. On top of that new rules state you can't Airbnb your Golden Visa property.
Exactly 👏👏👏
@@ajdrums8075 It was enough already to inflate the cost of housing sky high for the Greek reality.
@@ThanosAnim Only 22,000 Golden Visas have been issued in total meaning it has had essentially zero impact on price increases in Greece. In Australia we have 600,000 Greeks for comparison. They are much loved
Completely agree, and I actually come from a country that has been a banana republic for a long time already
I left for the Netherlands 3 years ago, when I realized that it was easier financially to study for a Master’s that I am interested in, here compared to Greece. I was shocked when I realized how much better are the work conditions in terms of salary and treatment frkm my employer. Still I am planning to return back after 3-5 years. Maybe I would have enough savings to buy an apartment in Greece and fix my life in general. Let's see...
Thank you for your honest and heartfelt account of another side of greece that I was not specifically aware of and my heart goes out to you all. I think its important as people to be aware of the issues of other countries. It has been on my heart to pray for you as a nation so I hope that’s okay. I would love to become a member of the community when the challenges I am currently passing through improve. Don’t ever give up. Your videos and voice are important. You are heard and seen.
Thank you!
Governments love inflation because when money has a lower value, debts decrease.
In the end governments make inflation to steal money from the citizens to pay the debts.
But not just states have debts, most business people have them as well. Thus they also profit from inflation.
Inflation doesn't fall from the sky, like they want to tell us, it's made. It's part of the big taking.
The financial system should not be controlled by the government in any country, not just Greece. Politicians should not be in charge of deciding when to print more money because they just keep increasing the national debt to spend more on keeping themselves in a job and the debt will be passed on to future generations to pay. The global financial system is heading for failure
@@maggiesloper4556 they call it MMT. Now the people realized that something wrong but it is too late, 100% debt to gdp is real.
That is why it is often convenient to invest savings, so they do not devaluate over time. Anyway, EU and EU both had to deal with inflation, but it was largely due to global economic factors, not because of political will. Now things are already much more stable.
This is such an important video, thank you for making it. On the news I've seen people in Spain and Italy, and maybe especially the Canary Islands, protest agains overtourism and overcrowding, and holding up signs saying "No More Tourists!" or "No big cruise ships!" It's overcrowded and too expensive for the local population to live, almost. Are protests like those in Spain and Italy happening in Greece too?
I see the same problem in parts of Norway (my country), like the small town I come from. I love that place, but I don't think I would ever want to move back, it's not a nice place to live anymore.
Sometimes the mass of these protests are biggots, at least in Spain. Without tourists the economy shrink even deeper and these regions will face real poverty. The problem sooner is in the low quality of local governance that cant handle the touristic flow right way
ποναει η καρδια μου. ο παππους μου εφιγε απο την Ελλαδα μετα το πολεμο και τωρα ζουμε στην Αυστραλια. μου λιπει η Ελλαδα και αγαπαω την χωρα της οικογενειας μου. συγνωμμη τα Ελληνικα μου δεν ειναι καλα

Είναι από τα χειρότερα μέρη να ζεις, μακάρι να είχα φύγει νέος και να μην ξαναγύριζα
I totally agree with you! I left Greece 8 years ago at the age of 50...I had a good job in Greece but daily life was intolerable. I could not stand so much stress, fighting for the obvious, seeing the strays around me, watching the quality of life to go down and our neighborhoods to turn into "monsters"...
It seems they did not put Romania on the map :)) they didn't want to make everyone feel insignificant i guess =))) we are actually in the worst situation in EU and 2nd in the world :D so I do understand your issue.
Regarding the situation of the country, the entire West is in the same situation...the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer
Πολύ καλό βίντεο, θίγεις ένα σοβαρότατο θέμα που αρκετοί, για δικούς τους λόγους, δεν θέλουν καν να το δουν!
This video unfortunately highlights the reality of the daily problems in Greece. As a foreigner living in Greece it amazes me daily what Greeks accept from their government what we in other countries would deem totally unacceptable. The sheer level of corruption within the government is staggering and The Bureaucracy is another level. Most people i know feel they are doing everything they can
to hinder you making a living
The tax system is beyond crazy, the cost of living is high and wages are very low. Locals can't find accomodation due to the Airbnb crisis and rents are extortionate compared to wages. Food prices are crazy. Greece is not a functioning EU country it is better referred to as a 3rd world country. Which is beyond sad as the people of this beautiful country deserve much more. No wonder people are leaving in droves.
So why is Greece kept in the Eurozone system by the other Eurozone countries? They are to blame more than Greece itself which I feel wanted to be a member more for its pride as the founder of European principles. Greece is now kept by its masters to pay back debt as a high value income source denominated in Euro of Europe’s holiday industry economy.
This is rubbish.... ! I am not even going to bother to comment!
@@konstantinestathis1994 I feel your perception of the "crisis," is a little compromised. Firstly Greece and the criminals within it's government who I might add are still running the country brought it to its knees with bad investments and over spending. Why is it the responsibility of the EU to pay for this? What did the government in Greece do instead of making the responsible pay, they made their citizens pay and still are. Creating taxes...house tax introduced after the crisis, personal tax for retired if you own a home and a car they presuppose and insist you pay an income tax on this....I could go on. You think this is fair? Now the "crisis" is over these taxes are still in place. Should the people of Greece go to the European Union absolutely. They must stand up. Why you think it's the EU problem I can't fathom. They bailed them out at a cost you might feel is unjust but what you forget is they didn't have to so yes Greece has made itself a Puppet to it's stronger partners again their own fault!! The people are paying for it. The debts are paid mostly now why would they throw them out, not sure of your reasoning.
what happens and you see here is all staged since 1974 up to these days.
imho nothing is accidental.
everything is set to happen.
those who pull the strings worldwide they know how to manipulate each countrys ppl so this happend to us.
they fed us with money in the 80s with no productive means at all
and through the years the debt was emerging till the bubble went off and here we are now selling out everything.
@@flowers8701The bailout was to save french and german banks,it has nothing to do with charity towards the greek people.
Ο παππούς μου έφυγε από την Ελλάδα τον 19ο αιώνα.
Our family immigrated to the UK shortly after the birth of our son. It became clear to us that the best years of our lives were behind us, and if we wanted our son to have opportunities, we would need to start over-to build a life that could offer him the same quality of life we once had in the 1980s. My heart aches daily as I think about my family and my wife’s family, and when I hear my son fondly recalling his grandfather’s house in Greece-the Easter lamb preparations and the cherished family gatherings. But for young professionals, or even those just trying to lead a normal life, Greece is no longer sustainable. The only sector that thrives is tourism, and even that remains mostly unregulated, with few exceptions.
Over time, I’ve learned to separate my emotions from reality and the hard facts. It took nearly a decade, but I now earn five times what I did when working full-time in Greece. I’ve managed to buy a home, albeit with a mortgage, own a car, have life insurance, and access affordable healthcare. But more than that, I finally feel-at least to some extent-that I have control over my own life. I realized early on that, unlike in Greece, the choices I make in the UK have a direct impact on the outcome. They aren’t dictated by divine intervention, personal connections, luck, or family tradition. Here, I’m presented with options, and I have the luxury of choosing between them and observing the results. If I make the wrong decision, I can always choose differently next time.
As for my son, I see in him the traits passed down through generations, and I hope that in a more supportive and positive environment, he’ll have the freedom to make his own choices and succeed. I now recognize that the Greece I grew up in-the experiences that shaped me-were products of a specific time and place, not enduring life lessons. The people I grew up with, including my family, now seem so different from the way I perceived them back then. I consider myself fortunate to have been given the chance to start over and create a "second life" within my lifetime.
Despite my deep love for Greece, I can clearly see that we, as Greeks, are far behind in how our modern society functions. We lack the maturity and knowledge to organize ourselves effectively and face the challenges of modern governance. Although our ancestors laid the foundations of critical thinking, it seems we’ve lost all connection to that heritage, showing little desire to pursue the same virtues. Instead, we often define ourselves as victims-of fate, of higher powers, of circumstances.
But now I understand that it’s not the Greek individual who is defeated. Every Greek I know who has moved abroad has succeeded. It’s Greece as a state-as a country, and as a system founded by European allies after the revolution of 1821-that has failed. Greece has become a place where ambition and creativity suffocate. Only those who are either resigned to their fate or impossibly resilient can survive there now. And I am neither of those.
You make some interesting points - from your experience. I did the opposite - moved from the UK to Greece with my young family. Pretty much agree with everything you have to say. I hope all goes well with you in the UK.
The exact same problems are happening all over Europe. The only reason it's more noticeable in Greece is because Greece is a less wealthy nation with less immigrants wanting to live there. The northern European countries keep their populations high by attracting large numbers of immigrants and foreign investment. I heard that 60% of people living in London were born outside the UK.
Doesn’t make them better places to live. I know an English friend who left England for Greece and never returned for 30 years. He loves the Greek lifestyle, culture, climate and work.
I've tried for years to remain in Greece. I'm Australian but was never successful gaining permanent residency.
I've been visiting Greece for almost every year for 40 years.
Greece made a huge mistake joining the EU. This then brought in economic collapse and illegal immigration.
I love Greece but it it slowly being ruined. Salaries are still low and cost of living is high. Mass immigration isn't helping and changing the whole fabric of Greece.
I can understand why Greeks want to leave.
It is the very nature of capitalism that the rich become richer and richer, while the poor become poorer and poorer. Capitalism doesn't even favour competition: In the end each sector will be controlled by one or two companies who can then hike prices as they wish. Πρέπει να αλλάξουμε το σύστημα.
Nopel...its the nature of socialism....too many years of socialism has led to economic decline. No one wants to invest in a country where you can't run your company the way you want to. Greece needs a huge dose of capitalism..finally!
@@jjgreek1 Greece was never true 'Socialist' or 100% free market Capitalist, just like most developed contemporary Western nations. They always have been a 'mixed economy', but years ago, it was more affordable for governments to actually take care of their people, and provide things like 'universal healthcare', or affordable or free college education. There were also forms of price controls in place that kept the populace fed and living in affordable apartments with affordable electricity. Greece was better off under the old system using the Drachma before they joined the EU.
@@jjgreek1 umm.
I would rather have capitalism than communism.
people still talking crap about socialism when Greece is 100% capitalist to its core. and the more we privatize things, the more shit goes worse. and idiots will blame socialism?!? we never had socialism, the only social improvements were mainly in the 80's and they get taken back from us year by year.
Πολύ σημαντικό βίντεο! Ευχαριστώ!
Εγώ έφυγα απ' την Κρήτη (αν και θα ήθελα να μένω στην Ελλάδα) γιατί δεν βρήκα δουλειά.. έχω τελειώσει ένα μεταπτυχιακό και φυσικά θέλω να δουλεύω σε κάτι αντίστοιχο (όχι απλά στον τουρισμό).
Τώρα μένω άνετα στην Αυστρία μαζί με την κοπέλα μου, η οποία έφυγε και αυτή απ την Ελλάδα για να σπουδάζει.
Ζούμε μία όμορφη ζωή αλλά μας λείπει η Ελλάδα (και ο καλός καιρός 😅)
I just moved to Crete from Australia. It's nice here 😊
It's interesting listening to Dimitri's thoughts on why so many Greeks have left Greece in recent years. Thousands and thousands of Greeks left Greece to come here to Australia in the 1950s and 1960s. My Dad was one of the few that returned to Greece, despite being financially better off in Australia. I wonder if Dimitri has ever considered leaving Greece too. He's mentioned his Dad is Australian and he'd be able to live there too .
I’ve thought about it, but I would rather live in Europe than in Australia if I had to move
@@EasyGreekVideosMy family moved here too, I dream of moving back to Greece but it breaks my heart how Greeks are suffering in this economy. It’s a horrible situation as an immigrant to feel trapped like this far away from the continent of your ancestors. Unfortunately Australia has become a difficult place to live too unless you are wealthy, not the lucky country any more. Τι να κάνουμε!
@@cccccc1I agree. Australia isn’t the same it once was. It’s become too expensive for the younger generation and many are leaving.
@@EasyGreekVideosany reason why you prefer Europe to Australia?
My guess is the distance and Australia doesn’t offer remotely what Europe has to offer culturally, geographically, cuisine, lifestyle, etc. Unless you don’t get along with your relatives in Australia? Haha.
Greece has so much to offer. So much beauty. Only if it has a good economy to match.
I believe it will improve economically but it’ll take time. I see fantastic infrastructure projects there the past 30 years which have dramatically improved things and I have never boarded a late ferry since the early 1990s! Some things are improving. :)
I am Greek, born in Greece with parents from Bulgaria and Cyprus... Yes, I consider myself 1000% Greek. Period. If you have a different understanding what Greek means, then you will have tough time accepting reality. I speak in English so the majority of the viewers can understand me with very little effort. Greece may be shrinking now, but it is shrinking at significantly lower rates than Bulgaria (about which I know quite a bit)... There are more people from abroad deciding to come to Greece permanently than those who leave. So nothing is really lost until you accept that "Greek" means everyone who accepts the Greek ways and not have a Greek bloodline as old as the continent... which is none of us. Greeks are the one nation that do not abandon but rather leave to survive. If Greece is fine again, they will return. I tried living abroad but I couldn't. My life is in Greece. I gave 2 beautiful sons to this country and will give more if finances allowed it. I have done my duty to Greece. Greeks shouldn't be so negative about Greece. We had it good, even when we thought we had it bad.
Yeah, it's a sad topic - and an old one, too!
Two of my Greek cousins already left Greece for good and stayed abroad in the country where they studied. Greece loses their brightest minds and the government doesn't seem to be able to handle the problem.
Plus the corruption and bureaucracy make legal matters a nightmare. I could tell you stories... that would leave you shaking your head in disbelief.
However, we do have similar problems in Germany. Not necessarily with emmigration but also with inflation, increasing number of natural desasters like floods and rising costs of living/ rent/ electricity...
And the root of this evil is basically the endless greed of a few but none the less very influential people who have the means to bend rules/ laws into their favor. A good read into this topic would be "Robert Reich - Saving Capitalism". There's also a documentary about it on Netflix, I believe.
Thanks for the tip!
If the "Greeks are abandoning Greece," why are real estate prices rising feverishly throughout the country, most of all in Athens and other cities? Who is replacing the Greeks and willing to pay a lot of money for it as well as willing to work since unemployment has steadily declined from the highs of economic collapse?
I am an engineer with a degree in electronics, a businessman for the last 10 years, I really want to move to live and work in Greece, but I can’t find a single law that allows me to do it legally. I have many ideas, I know how to boost the Greek economy, but will the Prime Minister listen to me?
I studied the laws and understood what the problem is.
1. Very high taxes that I pay regardless of whether the business has a profit or not. Taxes should be paid only on profit!
2. Many empty plots of land that are not used, and yet they cannot be bought!
3. Illegal migrants from Algeria are supported by politicians, but educated people who know the history and culture of Greece well cannot legally move to Greece.
.
I am from Russia, from Siberia, I have been looking at snow for 35 years 8 months a year and I am sick to death of it.
Thank you for your videos. I am learning Greek from them.
What I don't like about living overseas is that the second generation will lose its greek identity especially in places where there a few greeks. That is what saddens me.People inter marry and then being greek is just having greek food and red dyed eggs at easter,calling your γιαγια 'yaya' and coming to Greece once every few years for a holiday.Thats fine if you aren't concerned about maintaining your greekness but if you want to maintain your identity it will be hard.
Greek identity will die forever and just become a part of history books, it lasted a long time at least.
The salaries are humiliating.
minimum work hours per week are 50.
except Athens , Thessaloniki and the islands the rest of the mainland you cant find any job unless you have a politician to help you.... Im sure that this if its going to be read be foreigners they probably wont understand it !!!!
HEAVY and UNFAIR taxation ! ! ! !
extremely expensive rents especially in Athens and Thessaloniki
expensive basic needs like food , cleaning products , paper products etc
Cartels in general have taken over the whole country --- food , gas , electricity , internet / phones you name it ! ! ! ! !
the country is in an utter mess . tourists get to see the sun shine aspect of life here in summer but living here is T O U G H
Many foreigners get their pension and want to come to live in Greece , yes ok since the climate is the best but they do it with their pension money.
living in Greece with a salary from abroad is the ultimate best
living here with a greek salary....good luck ! ! ! !
......in the end here the illegal immigrants will remain as the new population of the country and some rich people the rest either they will flee or they will remain trapped here in this hell .
Don't worry you are not alone in italy is happening the same thing
I love the subtitles in greek and the translation in English. Also you speak in a clear manner, you pronounce words well and your pace is perfect. Just found you and subscribed. Will watch your content and will consider the patreon membership.
Recently I moved to Greece, after many years of just spending some months here. As one of my colleague told, that Greece is the best country to live if you have money. Sadly, but its true. I am shocked about many things, like fuel prices, that u pay diodia(Rio bridge kills your wallet) but also and the car circulation taxes each year. Also real estate taxes. Although you have big market, because you have many tourists and its three times bigger than my country, but prices in Supermarket are like 30-40% higher than in my country, so how it works, it should be lower in theory. Also babies food twice, diapers three times more expensive. Its cheaper to eat outside than to cook at home.. Ridiculous.. Its not about money, its about that you feel that everything is messy, and big companies are joking of you. Not talking about driving culture, espescialy motorbikes going where is forbiden,against trafic lines, no helmets, no respect for traffic lights and.etc
Sydney Australia here. $4000 in tolls, $2500 to register and insure a car (thats per car...most households need 2), council tax $2500, strata fees $3000, average grocery bill in Australia is $200/week. Most people also have huge property loans with the average kotetsi costing $1,000,000. Do whatever conversion you need to do but for the average person every country is a struggle.
the country is under the control of cartels in many fields thats why the extremely high prices. and of course with no governmental control since the state are just puppets with no power at all
@@sarj1176AUD 200 per week for grocery is CHEAP
Τέλειο βίντεο και μπράβο για τη γενναία απόφαση να γυριστεί. Έφυγα από την Ελλάδα το 2019, έχοντας τελειώσει το σχολείο το 2015 και χρωστώντας πολύ λίγα μαθήματα στη σχολή μου, που την τελείωσα ζώντας ήδη στο εξωτερικό. Η δικιά μου γενιά έχει βιώσει μόνο κρίση και γελάω με όσους πιστεύουν ότι έχουμε βγει από αυτήν. Όσοι νέοι άνθρωποι μένουν στην Ελλάδα πρέπει να βασίζονται σε οικογένεια και γνωστούς για να εργαστούν, καθώς υπάρχει απίστευτη διαφθορά και ατιμωρησία. Άνθρωποι με προσόντα δεν βρίσκουν δουλειά επειδή κάποιοι τεμπέληδες έτυχε να γνωρίζουν κάποιον. Αυτό πρέπει να σταματήσει. Ωστόσο, τόσα χρόνια η κατάσταση δεν αλλάζει, γιατί ο κόσμος έχει μάθει να λειτουργεί έτσι εγωιστικά, με γνώμονα το προσωπικό συμφέρον. Είναι και ζήτημα επιβίωσης από ένα σημείο και μετά. Αρνούμαι πεισματικά να συμβιβάσω τις αξίες μου για να βολευτώ κάπου, αρνούμαι να δουλεύω για τρεις και μία, αρνούμαι να με κυβερνούν άνθρωποι που δεν εμπιστεύομαι. Και κάπως έτσι ίσως επιστρέψω ως συνταξιούχος πλέον, να ζήσω ανάμεσα σε άλλους ξένους συνταξιούχους που αγοράζουν (και καλά κάνουν αφού μπορούν οι άνθρωποι) στα καλύτερα σημεία, χωριά ολόκληρα σε νησιά, που οι ντόπιοι βαράνε γιατί ακριβώς στοχεύουν το ξένο κεφάλαιο, ξεπουλώντας οι ίδιοι τον τόπο τους.
I visited my family in Greece in June and was shocked at how many apartments were turned into air bnbs. On one hand it is good that people can earn extra income but won’t that cause housing problems for the native Greeks? I pray that Greece gets better politicians to advocate for their people… it appears they don’t exist
Air bnb is a pox on society masquerading as an innovative business.
Φευγουν...αλλα οι περισσοτεροι γυριζουν.
Ειτε αμεσα,ειτε μετα απο μερικα χρονια.
Το εξωτερικο δεν ειναι ευκολο, ουτε τοσο εξιδανικευμενο.
Η ζωη δεν ειναι μονο λεφτα.
Η ζωή δεν είναι μόνο φαγητό και ήλιος να πούμε. Γιατί όλα τα άλλα είναι σκατά στην Ελλάδα. Δε θα γυρνούσα ποτέ ακόμα και αν είχα λεφτά πολλά στην Ελλάδα
Από το brain drain? Ελάχιστοι γύρισαν. Τα δεδομένα να κοιτάτε. Και ναι, η ζωή δεν είναι μόνο τα λεφτά. Το να ζεις σε ενα σοβαρό κράτος, να έχεις κοινωνικές παροχές και φυσιολογικό ωράριο, σε αντίθεση με 10ωρα στο γραφείο και 14ωρα σε εστίαση και τουρισμό είναι κι αυτοί λόγοι που μας κρατούν μακρυά.
Σωστό 🙏🏼
Η ποιότητα ζωής σίγουρα δεν κρίνεται μόνο από τα χρήματα αλλά δίχως αυτά και με πολλά προβλήματα δεν ζεις. Όταν θέλεις να ζεις αξιοπρεπώς αλλάζεις πορεία.
Πολλοί γυρίζουν αλλά είναι κυρίως αυτοί που δεν έχουν καθίσει στο εξωτερικό πάνω απο 1 χρόνο, οι περισσότεροι που έκατσαν για κάποια χρόνια δεν έχουν γυρίσει πίσω και μάλλον δεν θα γυρίσουν ποτέ γιατί έχουν αγοράσει και σπίτι εκεί κ εκεί έκαναν οικογένεια! Και είναι πολλοί αυτοί!
Έφυγα με την οικογένεια το Φεβρουαριο του 2013. Πήγα Σκοτία και μένω λίγο έξω από το Εδιμβούργο απο τότε. Εκτός από τον καιρό η ζωή είναι πολύ καλύτερη. Το άσχημο είναι ότι τα παιδιά μου 19 & 17 χρονών ούτε που το συζητούν να γυρίσουν κάποια στιγμή πισω.
My father left Greece as a teenager in 1920 because he was poor and left for America for a better life. It is sad that this trend continues to this day.
A new wave of Greek diaspora...
i'm Greek diaspora living on Turtle Island ("North America"), a third generation immigrant (my grandmother was born in Greece), and i want to take our family back to Greece and live there, if we can, and honestly, this *is* why. my parents don't understand (so i may not go with family after all); they list bad things happening in Greece and use those bad things as evidence for why i should not go, but. i was never expecting Heaven on Earth, to tell you the truth. i was never expecting Eden. i expect that things will be hard, especially with the work i want to do; farming, permaculture. i expect that things will be so hard they may seem impossible. but i am still willing to try, because that is who i am. a lot of our culture was assimilated - so taken away, and i find that to be the saddest thing of all. throughout the world, a lot of people are facing these struggles - financial, environmental, genocidal, even - all at once. it may seem as though the world is going to shit. that's how it seems to me, sometimes, but if the world is going to shit, i would rather be home while it does. heh, "home;" i know i didn't grow up in Greece, but i've heard my grandmother's stories, and i've been there, and i've swam in the Mediterranean, and it was such an alien experience and yet so warmly familiar. i've never forgotten.
i want to be there. i want to be there, and see if i can farm enough to produce things, not only food but materials, things people use, i want to have a community that does with me, and i want to give it away for free & be reciprocated that same way. something other than capitalism, something very different from privatization. i want to encourage people to realize that is another way, other than leaving, to have a good life. and yes, the world may still go to shit. i may not be able to farm anything, my visions may perish in fire or flood, but, as i said, because it's who i am, i have to try.
so i will.
(if only immigration weren't such a bureaucratic, pain-staking process, but i'll go through with it if it means i'll have a chance.)
Wow, that's impressive. I think you could make it if you went through the bureaucratic process because I'm Greek and I know that you could achieve it. Every work is hard especially farming but my uncle here in Laconia, Greece has olive trees, sheep and chicken and he has also problems, but who hasn't, but not as much as other people.
@@Παναγιώτης-ψ9χ i've found a citrus farmer through WWOOF that i'd like to stay with once i do get through immigration & have a visa, *enough* money to get there, etc., to learn from him, but then i'll want to become independent of that organization - while still maintaining a relationship with the farmer - so i can explore more options. i know that community doesn't come from nowhere, i'm going to have to meet people and be humble & respectful around them so they can teach me and we can connect.
Wow , I hope you make it my friend!Farming is hard but you can gain money because noone does in Greece nowadays this kind of job
@@costenics_sw i would enjoy gaining money, sure! but i mainly want to rectify that industries & corporations have money while people don't. so even if i do gain money, i will only use enough to survive, and share it otherwise.
Before you invest your money, I suggest you to live there, at least six months. No country is the same when we go for holidays than when we move there. And Greece is not different. If you still have family there, it would be a plus, otherwise, it won't be that simple. Not imposible, but not that easy. After living in the country for several years (I'm not greek) I left the country. I go back to Greece as often as I can, since Greece is a very important part of my life....I love the country, the food, the music, the nature...but even so, I just go back for holidays.
I wish you all the best.....! 💪💪💪
A great factor that makes people flee greece is the lack of hope for a better future... The story remains the same , a never ending struggle , so yeah... You can visit greece for vacations but if you like to have some money in yout pocket you have to go elsewhere (except if you can work remotely for a foreign company.. then everything is fine)
Δεν το αξίζουμε αυτό που ζούμε σαν χώρα. Και εγώ που είμαι στο εξωτερικό στεναχωριέμαι σαν να είμαι εκει. Θα περάσει αυτή η μπόρα όμως. Εμπιστεύομαι το Θεό.

Αυτή τη χώρα την δημιουργησατε εσείς οι Ελληνες, κανείς άλλος.
I was in the U.K. for 7 years and at least for the past decade it's actually much worst there than the Greece (Crete) I returned to in almost every aspect. This is not to say that I disagree with those mentioned in the video, but this is a European problem, not just a Greek one. And the winner is.. the USA, as always...
Certainly the lower than Germany or Switzerland salaries are a reason.
Mainly, if you ask me, is that Greeks for decades now are raised not to love their country. This is the "progressive" way in Greece - forget the few nationalists that make a lot of noise. Any feelings or actions in support to the Greek nation is considered fascist or ultra-nationalist.
Take Germany for example. It was destroyed in 2nd World War but the Germans didn't leave. They stayed in Germany and fixed it.
Greece's economy was much worst at the 1950s but less people immigrated at that period.
Thanks a lot for covering this topic.
That's the european union effect. Gl0balism ruined Greece.
yes, it did. but there are many fascists in Greece as well, and that's not the solution, either.
Funny that during the 7 years of fascism, Greece was paradise compared to nowadays.
Indeed, yes! Greece was so much more happier and prosperous back in the 70's and 80's before the EU membership, while they used the Drachma as their currency.
@@MarinaVellou paradise for who?!!!!!!
@@bennyfrohna7675
Greece under 'Fascism' had replacement level birth rates and was a functioning society. Now it is quite self-evidently a dying country and culture which will literally not exist within a few generations.
I find it funny the way Westerners decry 'fascism' when the ideologies that they support are destroying their societies far more than right wing nationalism ever did. Southern Europe was far better off in almost every way in the 70's.
Great video, besides the rather sad topic.
Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ! You raised so important topic, thank you for your honesty!
Thankyou for this video..I am greek australian and was born in sydney to greek parents. I visit every few years and dont face the problems you mention..but thankyou for giving us more of the true picture in Greece.
Thank you for this. It's hard, but its honest.

The same thing - about tourists - is happening all over Italy as well.
6:18 yes we'd like to know the behind-the-scenes team as well. Tell them I appreciate them!
I fear Greece has no other option but to leave the EU. There is no conceivable way to improve living conditions without being able to print and control your own money supply.
You can leave the common currency - the euro - without leaving the EU.
This video really hit me, because I plan to leave Greece in the next couple of years for those exact reasons. It is practically impossible to live by yourself and cover your expenses, and if you factor in the quality of life you get compared to other countries it makes you want to leave sooner. The only reason I can't leave yet is because I have to serve in the military for the next 9 months. It pains me to say but after my service I'm gone.
Κάτοικος εξωτερικού εδώ, σπουδάζω Σουηδία για απόκτηση διδακτορικού από τις αρχές του 2021. Έφυγα γιατί το διδακτορικό στην Ελλάδα πληρώνεται με λίγα χρήματα συνήθως, και ήθελα να βρω κάποια «δουλειά» ώστε να ανεξαρτητοποιηθώ από τους γονείς μου μετά το πτυχίο.
Πολλά από αυτά που λες ισχύουν, οι χειρισμοί της κυβέρνησης δεν είναι όσο επεμβατικοί θα έπρεπε στην οικονομία, βέβαια οι αυξήσεις του κατώτατου μισθού πιστεύω θα βοηθήσουν ώστε να «σπρωχτεί» ο μέσος μισθός προς τα πάνω αλλά θα χρειαστούν κάποια χρόνια για να φανούν αποτελέσματα.
Προβληματική δικαιοσύνη ναι, ακρίβεια ναι, κοινωνικές ανισότητες ναι και αλλά πολλά κακά υπάρχουν, όμως υπάρχει και ένας ισχυρός ατομικισμός που μας χαρακτηρίζει σαν ανθρώπους, χωρίζει τη κοινωνία και εντείνει το αίσθημα της απελπισίας για όσους το προσπαθούν στην Ελλάδα. Ας μη ξεχνάμε και την απειθαρχία μας λαός που εκφράζεται με τη μορφή αδράνειας στην όποια ουσιαστική αλλαγή αποπειράται πολιτικός να κάνει, έστω και αν αυτές οι περιπτώσεις των θετικών μεταρρυθμίσεων είναι λίγες στις μέρες μας (βλέπε ψηφιακή διακυβέρνηση).
Στη τελικη, ακόμα και με διπλάσιους (όχι σπάνια και τριπλασιους) μισθούς από την Ελλάδα, με ένα μέλλον σαφώς πιο ασφαλές οικονομικά, πάντα νιώθω ότι θα υπάρχει ένα κενό μέσα μου, ένα αναπάντητο ερώτημα για το αν θα μπορούσα να τα καταφέρω στην Ελλάδα. Και αν μπορώ να γίνω μάρτυρας μιας αργής μοντερνοποιησης ενός πεισματάρη λαού από κοντά; Θα το έχανα αυτό το έργο;
Δεν ξέρω αν ανήκω εκεί που έχω οικονομικές ανέσεις ή εκεί που καταλαβαίνω τους ανθρώπους γύρω μου, τείνω προς το 2ο μετά από 3+ χρόνια έξω αλλά φοβάμαι και εγώ για ένα εργασιακό μέλλον στην Ελλάδα.
Καλή δύναμη αγαπητοί easy Greeks, συνεχίστε να κάνετε αυτό που κάνετε ❤
This video has a great quality!
Ευχαριστω πολυ για αυτο το βιντεο, εκφραζει ακριβως τις σκεψεις πολλων απο εμας. Ζω στην Ισπανια εδω και πεντε χρονια και πολλες φορες οι ανθρωποι εδω μου λενε οτι βλεπουν οτι το ΑΕΠ αυξανεται και αρα τα πραγματα πρεπει να πηγαινουν καλυτερα. Στη συνεχεια ολοι μου λενε ποσο θα ηθελαν να ταξιδεψουν στην Ελλαδα, αν δεν το εχουν κανει ηδη, και μου ζητανε προτασεις για προορισμους. Και ενω χαιρομαι να τους αποκαλυπτω τα "μυστικα" των ντοπιων, ταυτοχρονα το κανω με βαρια καρδια, ξεροντας οτι θα ερθουν και θα επιτεινουν το προβλημα που βλεπω να γιγαντωνεται καθε φορα που επιστρεφω κι εγω στη χωρα μου.
Εφυγα για να κανω το διδακτορικο μου. Ποτε δε θεωρησα προβλημα το να φυγω για μερικα χρονια, εξαλλου ειναι καλο και για τη χωρα οι ανθρωποι να φευγουν και να γυρνουν πισω με νεες ιδεες, σε επιπεδο πολιτισμικο και τεχνογνωσιας. Πιο νεα δε θεωρουσα καν προβλημα το να φυγω για παντα, νιωθω σαν στο σπιτι μου πανω-κατω σε οποιαδηποτε ευρωπαικη χωρα. Αλλα οσο μεγαλωνω παντα πλανιεται απο πανω μου η ανησυχια για το μελλον των γονιων μου, και ταυτοχρονα αναπτυσσεται μια διαθεση προσφορας προς τη χωρα και τους ανθρωπους της. Θα ηθελα να γινω φορεας θετικων κοινωνικων αλλαγων, οσο μπορω, και θα ηθελα να συνεισφερω στο επιστημονικο μου πεδιο μεσα στην Ελλαδα. Προσπαθησα να κανω μια μικρη δοκιμη υποβαλλοντας αιτηση για μια θεση συμβασιουχου στο ελληνικο πανεπιστημιο (πενιχρος μισθος, περιττο να αναφερω). Μολονοτι οι καθηγητες ηταν δεκτικοι -αλλωστε οι περισσοτεροι εχουν περασει απο τη θεση μου-, δε με πηραν, γιατι προτιμησαν καποιον που ηξεραν (στελεχος πολιτικου κομματος σημειωτεον). Αν και ειχα αρχισει να φανταζομαι με καποιον ενθουσιασμο το εγγυς μου μελλον στην Ελλαδα, ανακουφιστηκα οταν εμαθα οτι δεν πηρα τη θεση - το πιο πιθανο ειναι οτι θα ερχομουν και θα απογοητευομουν απο την κατασταση.
Για να πω και κατι καλο, απο οταν εφυγα βλεπω μια σταδιακη αλλαγη στη νοοτροπια του κοσμου, η οποια αποτυπωνεται καποιες φορες και στα βιντεο σας. Οποτε, ποιος ξερει, ισως σε δεκα χρονια να γυρισω και να ειναι τα πραγματα καλυτερα. Ojalá xD
Ευχαριστούμε για το εξαιρετικό βίντεο. Το πρόβλημα με την Ελλάδα είναι η γραφειοκρατία που δυσκολεύει την επιχειρηματική δραστηριότητα. Ακόμη και η αγορά κατοικίας για να μείνει είναι δύσκολη για τους συζύγους Ελλήνων πολιτών και η διαδικασία αγοράς κατοικίας για να ζήσει ως συνταξιούχος διαρκεί μήνες ακόμη και με μετρητά στο χέρι για να την αγοράσει χωρίς δάνειο. Εάν η κυβέρνηση εξορθολογούσε τη διαδικασία για να κάνει τα πάντα, οι επιχειρήσεις θα εκτινάσσονταν στα ύψη, επειδή η Ελλάδα έχει εξαιρετικό εργατικό δυναμικό από άποψη εκπαίδευσης και αξίας για το κόστος εργασίας. Μπορώ να πω ότι ως συνταξιούχος που έχει άδεια να είναι νόμιμα εδώ από την κυβέρνηση και που ξοδεύει χρήματα για να φτιάξει ακίνητα για να ζήσω και να απολαύσω ως συνταξιούχος. Συμφωνώ πλήρως με τον περιορισμό των ενοικιάσεων μερικής απασχόλησης και τη δημιουργία των κατοικιών πιο προσιτά. Ωστόσο, η Ελλάδα είναι πολύ επικεντρωμένη στις μεγάλες πόλεις, η Ελλάδα πρέπει να δημιουργήσει κίνητρα για τα εργοστάσια και τις επιχειρήσεις να δημιουργήσουν παραγωγικές επιχειρήσεις στις πόλεις και τα χωριά. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο τα σπίτια είναι εκεί για τα νεαρά ζευγάρια να αγοράζουν και να μεγαλώνουν παιδιά σε μια πολύ πιο υγιεινή ζωή στο χωριό από τις τρελές πόλεις. Οι πόλεις είναι χάος παγκοσμίως γιατί τους έχει επιτραπεί να αναπτυχθούν ανεξέλεγκτα. Ακόμη και η Κίνα έχει πρόβλημα και μπορεί να υπαγορεύσει λύσεις. Ένα άλλο πρόβλημα είναι ότι το εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα δεν επικεντρώνεται στην καριέρα. Δίδαξα στο κολέγιο πριν συνταξιοδοτηθώ στην Ελλάδα και δούλεψα όχι μόνο στο να διδάξω τους μαθητές μου αλλά να τους βρω δουλειά και επικεντρώθηκα στη διδασκαλία των δεξιοτήτων που χρειάζονταν οι εργοδότες. Το κολέγιό μας είχε τακτικές συναντήσεις με εργοδότες για να βεβαιωθεί ότι οι μαθητές μας καλύπτουν εκεί τις ανάγκες. Δεν βλέπω να συμβαίνει κάτι τέτοιο στην Ελλάδα. Εργάστηκα στη βιομηχανία, την κυβέρνηση και τον στρατό πριν γίνω καθηγητής και καθηγητές που έχουν εμπειρία από τον πραγματικό κόσμο είναι πραγματικά αυτό που χρειάζεται. Η θεωρία ξύνει μόνο την επιφάνεια του τι συνεπάγεται οποιαδήποτε καριέρα.
Μπράβο παιδιά! Είναι ίσως το πιο ενδιαφέρον βίντεο σας!! Συνεχίστε την καλή δουλειά!! Χαιρετισμούς από μια Ελληνίδα που ζει και εργάζεται μόνιμα στην άλλη πλευρά του Ατλαντικού!!
Πολυ σημαντικο βιντεο που πρεπει να προβληθεί σε ολα τα καναλια.
Χαχα σ' ευχαριστώ
Έφυγα το 2011 για Τοροντο γύρισα το 22 για να μείνω αλλά δυστυχώς το 23 τα μάζεψα και ξανά έφυγα . Δεν έχει αλλάξει τίποτα και τίποτα δεν θα αλλάξει. Η Ελλάδα είναι μόνον για διακοπές

When I was on Syros this year, I went into a pharmacy. They asked me 1) what I paid for paracetemol in Australia and then 2) what the average salary was in Australia. The answer to the paracetemol was a lot lower (you can buy it in the supermarket and the VAT is much lower - 24% versus 10% and 2) the average salary in much higher. So the girl said, right I am emigrating to Australia - 2 of her friends already had. I think that a lot of Greece's problems stem from joining the Euro (with fraudulent data). Also you pay very high sales tax. I am surprised that more Greeks aren't interested in going back to the Drachma - but this may be legally impossible now. One other observation. In Australia, all the gyms have 24 hour gym access. In Greece, the two gyms I joined did not have 24 hour access. In fact they didn't even have gym cards. The obvious lower cost for the gym of lower staffing, and allowing people and shift workers to go to the gym at a time that suits them is not achieved. Perhaps it is seen as some kind of false job creation scheme? Anyway I see this as a microcosm of structural problems in the Greek economy. But I will say this - it is for the Greeks to decide. There are so many things that I love about Greece, that I never complain about the gym access or that I can get run over at a zebra crossing. It all goes together. But I thought it was OK for a foreigner to answer here, as you have opened this up to us. I love Greece and the people of Greece!
I'm a Greek American. My family is from Mani, and when he retired, my father moved back and still lives there. I visit every year and, in my opinion, I have experiened Greece more as a local than as a tourist. I've never been to an island or done any of the touristy things Greece is famous for because to me, that's not the real Greece. I'm not rich, and I don't pretend to know what the answer to even one, nevermind all of the issues you've discussed.
What's blantantly obvious to me though is that the Greek government is laser focused on taking in the "easy money" of tourism, only minimally using it to help the Greek people, and banking on the people not realizing that THEY not the government have all the leverage here. How? Because if the Greeks who actually work in the tourist industry stop doing so--even for only one week--tourism would come to a halt. Unfortunately though, from my experience, Greeks fight more with each other than they do stick together. And in my humble opinion, until THAT changes, nothing else will.
My wife and I moved here in May, so we're helping offset the total number by 2. I'm also studying Greek every day so I can yell "Na malaka" at the bad drivers, and sit in the little cafe neo and hear all the latest conspiracy theories and gossip on politics.
I also have several other friends who are interested in moving here!
Same story in Italy, Spain, Portugal. You earn three times more as a waiter in Amsterdam than as en aerospace engineer in Rome. And even after paying excessive rent you still save more than double. Basically a long term disaster for all these countries.
Overtourism is bad but I don't think it's the main issue, because in many other countries with much fewer tourists they are experiencing the same problem: unaffordable housing, high energy costs and ever increasing grocery prices. Demographic/economic changes are there too, namely urbanisation. All the young want to live in big cities for better work opportunities. In the countryside there's nothing to do. And there isn't enough housing for the whole country in just a few cities where suddenly the entire nation wants to live. That's also the reason why real estate prices are where they are. etc. etc. it's a very complex issue for sure....but heartbreaking to hear things are this bad in Greece and so many people decide to leave.
Thank you for the excellent video. The problem with Greece is the bureaucracy that makes doing business hard. Even buying a home to live in is hard for spouses of Greek citizens and the process to buy a home to live in as a retiree takes months even with cash in hand to buy it without a loan. If the government streamlined the process to do everything business would soar because Greece has an excellent workforce in terms of education and value for the cost of labor. I can say that as a retired person that has a permission to be here legally fromt he government and who is spending money fixing properties for me to live in and enjoy as a retiree. I full agree with limiting part time rentals and making homes more affordable. However, Greece is too focused on the big cities, Greece must establish incentives for factories and businesses to establish productive business in the towns and villages. That way the homes are there for young couples to buy and raise children in a much healthier village life than the crazy cities. Cities are chaos worldwide because they have been allowed to grow out of control. Even China has a problem and they can dictate solutions. Another problem is the educational system is not career focused. I taught college before I retired to Greece and I worked not only on teaching my students but on getting them jobs and I focused on teaching skills that employers needed. Our college had regular meetings with employers to make sure that our students meet there needs. I see nothing like that happening in Greece. I worked in industry, the government, and the military before becoming a professor and professors that have real world experience is really what is needed. Theory only scratches the surface of what any career entails.
I agree, we shouldn't let the countryside decline like this.
Greece is a cash economy where tax avoidance is king. It’s not surprising that the government has no money to invest in infrastructure, public services, safety net etc.
Furthermore the tax that is collected is subjected to the greediness of politicians who dip their hands into the pot. Again no wonder there is no money for services, education, health care etc. It’s a vicious cycle that keeps the country in a constant state of economic strife - citizens are suffering and the government is unable to help (except themselves).
I think many people would like to leave their country of origin when there are more opportunities. Nothing against Greece. Im British and would love to live in Greece. 🙏🙏

Greece is a banana republic now more than ever, along with the rest of Europe these days. I should know being a half guatemalan and chilean, hispanic Canadian. We are banana republic in Canada too, Canada is USA’s laptop but at least we have natural resources, i don't think Europe has any and it has de industrialized to serve its US masters. It’s sad to see the dire straits of Greece, I saw first hand the struggle of the working class last summer. I know its modern history how much is suffered for so long in wars, military juntas, oligarchs that sold out its people etc. It would be great if Greece would have true autonomy and democracy for its people, go back for the drachma, leave the EU and NATO, along with the rest of Eastern Europe, re industrialize, and join the east and global south, which is the future. Eastern Europe had always been considered 2nd class or lesser, not even Europe. The root of the problem is the west, especially being a slave to the US and its oligarchy, they are the ones who control the EU and are cannibalizing it for its own gain. I fear a fascist uprising, blaming migrants which would have never arrived in the first place if it were not for the imperialist wars like in Libya and Syria.
I feel bad for my people living here and everyone must do what's right for themselves but I have to warn you the grass is not greener on the other side.
I'm a Greek born and raised in Canada and from what I can see the system we live under has created the same circumstances for all of us. The average cost for a home in Vancouver is over $1,000,000, average rent is $3,000 and I believe the average salary is somewhere around $65,000 with heavy taxes.
Most people are drowning in debt here and many people ha e had their banks change their amortization dates to over 40 years so they don't lose their homes. It's a nightmare in the western world today because we are ruled by evil traitors.
When I retire I plan on retiring in Greece because I can't afford to in Canada.
It's a terrible situation for young Greeks but things are really tough everywhere.
I've lived in Greece for the past 10 years. I've made it my home because I love living here more than anywhere else BUT it's true that the country is going in the wrong direction.
Here are a few of my comments on the most important problems the country is facing:
- the Greek state: as much as it may be hard to accept, the Greek state is the biggest problem. Dimitris talks about "free" stuff like the healthcare system or education but the reality is that nothing that requires the labour of another person is free, you pay for it one way or another. We lose 25% of our salary to the state before we even see the money which means that you work 3 months in a year purely to pay your income tax and your mandatory IKA contributions. In exchange, you receive 3rd world country level of healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc. With the outcome being so bad that children need to go to private frontisitria just so that they can make up for the shortcomings of the educational system in order to pass to the next grade. Also, because the public healthcare system is so bad, many people (those who can afford) choose to pay for private healthcare, unfortunately, you cannot opt out of paying for the public services.
If you add all other forms of taxes (such as the VAT), you'll see what a typical worker works around HALF A YEAR to pay to the state. Imagine how much better our lives would be if the state didn't steal this money from us.
- the ECB which issues a debt-based fiat money which is designed to constantly lose value (which is evident in the constantly rising prices). This is a world-wide phenomenon. The banking cartel is siphoning wealth off of everyone who uses its poverty tokens as their money. Just google wtfhappenedin1971 to see what happens to society when an inflationary currency is used as money. My advice to anyone reading this is to study bitcoin as it's probably the only alternative monetary system that uses a currency with a fixed supply.
Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ για αυτό το βίντεο Δημήτρη.
Συμφωνώ Με όλα αυτά που λες.
Έχω δουλεύει στην Ελλάδα εδώ και 19 χρόνια κάθε καλοκαίρι , Και έχω δει πως η κατάσταση είναι χειρότερη με κάθε χρονιά.
Κρίμα είναι .
Χρειάζεται μία μικρή επανάσταση . Μία αλλαγή.
Ελπίζω θα γίνει 🤞🤞🤞
If you come to the United States, I would like to invite you to consider visiting Denver, Colorado. There's a lovely Greek Orthodox community here and we have the most beautiful building in the State of Colorado--and I am not an Orthodox Christian and I am saying that. I will support your channel and service in a week or two, I insanely want to learn Greek, and I have finally come to the point where I can at least follow the text as you speak. God bless!
1. Η Ελλαδα απο παντα ηταν ετσι, ειδικα μετα το 2000 (ισως και νωριτερα). Δες εμπορικο ισοζυγιο ελλαδας απο 2000-2024 και τα αντιστοιχα της ιταλιας κλπ. (Μας αρεσει να συγκρινομαστε με ιταλια αλλα πολλοι ξεχνανε οτι η Ιταλια εξαγει 620δις πλεον με την ελλαδα να εξαγει μονο 45). Το 2005 εξηγαγε 10δις μονο (αστεια μικρο ποσο, αναλογο με χωρες σοβιετικου μπλοκ) και το ΑΕΠ ανεβαινε με γοργους ρυθμους απτα τεραστια ελλειμματα (τα οποια ηταν και underreported λογω διαφθορας για να παρεις δανειο). Την Χρεοκοπια την καταλαβαινε και ενας π δεν εχει πολλες γνωσεις στα χρηματοπιστωτικα/οικονομικα.
2. Το GDP δεν ειναι μονο scam επειδη τα λεφτα πανε σε πλουσιους. Το GDP καταγραφει και αντιπροσωπευει ολες τις επισημες συναλλαγες προιοντων. Αν η Ελλαδα επαιρνε το 2000 ενα Χ δανειο, εισηγαγε ενα σωρο προιοντα τα οποια μετα μεταπουλουνταν απο εταιρεια σε εταιρεια εντος χωρας, αυτο το Χ (το οποιο ειναι χρεος και μελλοντικα πρεπει να πληρωθει με τοκο) εδινε στα χαρτια ενα (Χ+Υ) ποσο, δλδ αερας-φουσκα. (Γιαυτο και τα 10 δις εξαγωγες με το ΑΕΠ να σκαρφαλωνει αποτομα με απλα λογια).
3. Τα σουπερ μαρκετ δεν ειναι λογικο να εχουν υπερκερδη σε γενικες γραμμες την στιγμη που ενας λαος φτωχοποιειται , αλλα πιθανων αναφερεσαι σε καρτελ προιοντων εντος ελλαδας? Μην ξεχνας οτι οι τιμες δεν αυξηθηκαν ξαφνικα, αλλα λογω κλεισιματος πολλων μοναδων ενεργειας με το προσχημα της κλιματακης αλλαγης (αλλο σκαμ κ αυτο), απαγορευσης χρησιμοποιησης φυσικου αεριου (χρησιμοποιειται στην δημιουργια λιπασματος) στη βραζιλια, απτις μεγαλυτερες παραγωγους λιπασματος. Αυτα και αλλα πολλα παρεσειραν αλυσιδωτα τα παντα πριν γινει ο πολεμος, και μετεπειτα τα χρεωσαν ολα σε αυτον (μιλαω για πριν να επιτεθει το ισραηλ). Οποτε η κερδοσκοπια δεν ειναι η μονη μεταβλητη. Εχεις να σκεφτεις και φορους καυσιμων κλπ.
4. Οι τιμες των σπιτιων στις πολεις δεν αυξανονται λογω τουριστων, αλλα κυριως λογω golden visas (και μετεπειτα μεταναστων, airbnb). Αυτα πολλοι τα ξεχνανε. Και το 2015 πηγαινοερχονταν τουριστες στο μοναστηρακι αθηνα, οι τιμες των ακινητων ηταν στο χαμηλοτερο τους σημειο.
5. Δεν εχεις λειψυδρια. Αυτο ειναι μια ακομη φανφαρα που αναπαραγεις απτα αρθα π διαβαζεις, για τη δηθεν κλιματικη αλλαγη. Οι λιμνες καποιες φορες οταν δεν βρεχει για πολυ καιρο απτο μαιο, η σταθμη τους πεφτει, τον χειμωνα ξαναγεμιζουν. Το να κανεις ριπορτ οτι εχεις λειψυδρια το καλοκαιρι λεγεται selection bias, παραγεις το αποτελεσμα που αναζητεις. Επισης γνωστος του πατερα μου π δουλευε στις υδραγωγικες υποδομες στην Ελλαδα, του ειχε πει απο παλια οτι το 50% χοντρικα του νερου χυνεται λογω τρυπιων σωληνων που δεν τις επισκευαζουν και χαλανε με το χρονο. Μεσα στο πλαισιο της κλιματικης αλλαγης που προωθειται, οι πολιτικοι της χωρας σου απλα το σπρωχνουν να φαινεται ετσι για περαιτερω ιδιωτικοποιηση.

Thank you for your video on this kind of issue. My relatives in Greece don't have good enough English for these words, and I don't have good enough Greek for these words. They are struggling in Greece, but like you said, there are so many positives that we all know about Greece. In my opinion, Greece is too good, for its own good. And it could eventually become like London, South America, or California. Where you see fewer and fewer middle class, a large population of rich people, and an even larger population of poor people.
Συγχαρητήρια για το βίντεο!
Όλα αυτά μου σκίζει την καρδιά, πάρα πολύ θλιμμένο τι γίνεται στην Ελλάδα, στην χώρα που αισθάνομαι το στέκι μου και πάντα ήθελα να μετακομίσω στην Κρήτη. Και στην Τσεχία νιώθουμε ότι δίνεται προτεραιότητα στον τουρισμό εις βάρος των κατοίκων.
Ο θείος μου πήγε στην Ελλάδα για να χτίσει σπίτια και να μαζέψει καπνό περίπου τη δεκαετία του 1970, οι γονείς μου με πήγαν εκεί το 1996, και από τότε που επιστρέφω τακτικά σε έναν συγκεκριμένο τόπο, παρατηρώ τις αλλαγές, και μερικές αποδέχομαι με πικρή επίγευση, όπως οι αλλαγές στην Πράγα, οι οποίες δεν είναι τόσο καλές για τους ντόπιους όσο για την κυβέρνηση.
Ευχαριστώ για αυτό το επισόδιο! Καλή συνέχεια!
I came to Greece 12 years ago my first time. I talked a lot with the local anarchists and rioters about what was happening. Back then they still had some hope that things can change. Since then I have been here a lot. At one point I lived here almost six months. People here have changed. They don't believe in the future anymore.
But the thing is, this happens all over Europe. My so called "home country" does the exact same thing to it's people too. I am lucky to have a job there steady enough to put some money a side so when I retire I can live somewhere outside my home country. I can never afford to retire and stay where I was born.
The whole Europe is changing and it's turning against its own people. And I don't know what to do about it because the people want it. It's everyone against everyone now. "It doesn't matter if I get shot in the head as long as my neighbour get's shot in the foot."
Look up the Kalergi plan.
@@willtherealgeorgemichaelpl5879 Dumb conspiracies are not really my cup of tea tbh.
When I talk about European people, I talk about ALL of us.
PS: Nazis fuck off!
I'm half Greek, born in another country (Belgium). Even though I love my roots, my father's land and I speak Greek, I've never considered living in Greece.
My family often tells me that they could have left already if they spoke any English but most of them only know Greek and are stuck in the country, suffering from the crisis and the damaged path it left behind. I'm heartbroken everytime someone brings the subject because other countries simply don't understand.
I seriously despise governments who don’t care enough for the well-being of their people. I mean yes of course no country is absolutely perfect and yes not EVERYONE in a country will be 100% happy with all aspects of their life, but when people start leaving your country in hordes, yet u as the leader still aren’t incentivized to reverse whatever issue is screwing up peoples’ lives so badly that they literally feel like they have no choice but to simply leave? jeez ur a waste of oxygen
"Εχουν επιστρέψει στην Ελλάδα περίπου 350.000 Έλληνες από εκείνους που είχαν μετακομίσει στο εξωτερικό την περίοδο 2010-2021 - Η οικογένεια είναι ο βασικότερος λόγος για την επιστροφη" αρθρο απο το Πρωτο Θεμα. Παραθετει πηγες.
Χαιρετισμούς από Νέα Υόρκη. Έφυγα το 2011. Πολλοί με ρωτούν εάν έβγαζα τα ίδια χρήματα στην Ελλάδα εάν θα ερχόμουν πίσω. Το θέμα δεν είναι τα χρήματα. Το θέμα είναι πώς δεν είναι κράτος δικαίου, και ότι είμαστε ο πιο ευθύνοφοβος λαός που έχω γνωρίσει. Πότε δεν φταίμε εμείς αλλά κάποιος άλλος.

Όπως έχει ειπωθεί, στην Ελλάδα ευημερούν οι αριθμοί και δυστυχούν οι άνθρωποι. Ως μια κάτοικος εξωτερικού εδώ και πολλά πλέον χρόνια, θλίβομαι για όλα αυτά που δυστυχώς συνέβαιναν και συνεχίζουν να συμβαίνουν. Δεν δίνεται καμία ευκαιρία σε όσους θέλουν να επαναπατριστούν να το κάνουν. Ως Ελληνίδα όμως, θέλω βαθιά μέσα μου να πιστεύω ότι κάτι ίσως κάποτε αλλάξει. Να είστε καλά.
The whole world is turning into the rich peoples paradise. I have visited Kriti many times since 1994, these days I feel bad coming because I feel like I have become a problem for the Greek people. I know of all these problems, and try to be as untouristy as possible...if one can do that?? I learned greek to understand the culture and the people, I do not want to be a passing stranger.
