Greece, Breathtaking Deprivation.


      Greece, a land of contrast, stunning scenery, abject deprivation, unbelievable sunsets, 62% unemployment among the young, beautiful beaches, an angry population.


       Greece has become a symbol of the western world’s retrocession on all levels during the last few years. Inspired by the campaign “Promote Greece” that aims to show Greece’s nice face to the world, we aim to go a step further: to stop camouflaging the misery of Greek society with beautiful beaches and breathtaking sunsets. To stop lying about Greek hospitality. To disconnect modern Greek democracy from its ancient roots.
      Economy is not the main problem; democracy is! 
The real problem is about:
- how political elites have taken unpopular and undemocratic measures.
- the thousands of lay-offs of public servants, in order to meet Troika’s instructions and get the next loan, sorry “rescue package”.
- how the rulers pass new law amendments that will bring more misery in society, with compendious processes without even discussing them in the Parliament.
