Dear friends,

All countries experience the Pandemic with consequences that threaten mostly middle class. Greece faced the economic crisis with stoicism creating a shield of protection for all European countries, to the waves of refugees and illegal imigrants entering from Turkey,giving the last piece of bread that poor Greeks on the islands had. Greece since 2009 still face 5 types of crisis

1. The economical crisis that left homeless or unemployed 43% of the population, still suffering from irrational memorandums, which brought only disaster to Greece and many other countries as well.

2. The confluence of refugees and illegal immingrands of all nations, entering our country in thousands, still stuck in Greece, as many countries refuse to accept more refugees in their society.

3. The numerous threats and violations of our airspace and see frontiers of the Turkish Government and all illegal behaviour against our islands in the Aegean sea.

4. The Pandemic we all experience on planet, treats Greece that supported Europe hosting refugees,  giving access to our kids and adults only to , Astrazeneca vaccine concidered as a 3rd world country,.

During 2021, after a 16 months period of strickt lockdown, we face a Pandemic of  of  Mental Health disorders that hits middle class and youth. Greek society experiences an unprecedented number of suicides.

More than 40% of stores and businesses in the private sector, that accieved to survive memorandum, declared bankrupcy due to one-and-a-half year continuous lockdowns.
