If you want to know the background to Greece’s mass demonstrations and strikes today, this is a comprehensive explainer. It’s devastating; made all the more so by its careful and evenhanded precision and impeccably technocratic source: www.macropolis.gr?i=portal.en.... #Tempe #Tempi #RailDisaster

Δέστε τις αποτιμήσεις συνεργατών και φίλων του Σημίτη. Από το 2023. Του χρωστάμε πολλά. www.kathimerini.gr/opinion/5627...
