There can not be anyone in the western world that is not aware of the financial situation Greece has found itself in. Living most of the time in Greece I dearly love the country, but why oh why can its people not see the damage continual industrial disputes are bringing?
Over the last couple of years the euro has depreciated against many currencies, holiday makers are looking at non-euro countries for better deals in holidays, and Turkey is "laughing all the way to the bank". Recently we have seen Greek air traffic controllers work to rule and strike, with more industrial action probably to come. Now we have fuel tanker drivers striking and most cities & towns in Greece without petrol at the fuel stations......linking both of these together is it a wonder tourists will think twice before coming to Greece.
With tourism a mainstay of the economy the Greek people are damaging THEMSELVES.
If you carry on striking.....showing your right to march & demonstrate, destroying your country.....you will soon be stepping back into the dark ages when the economy crashes with millions out of work, unable to feed their families.
COME ON GREECE....you have one of the oldest cultures in the world, your men fought for independence, a free world and a better life. FIGHT again WITH your government to make Greece GREAT, and not against it. Suffer the small pains and avoid an agonizing death!
