And they are debilitating! 250,000 workers have already lost their jobs, and now they are going to cut 150,000 more. Wages were already cut 25% and now they're going to cut them 22% more. The minimum wage is now a mere 480 euros a month!!! It costs 300 euros MINIMUM for rent. Yes, people are angry, and have the right to be. BUT, why destroy what makes this country attractive to tourists? Which is where the majority of the country's income comes from.

Thanks for letting us know you are safe. I am so sad at the loss of this beautiful theater. In times of civil unrest and war, countries must work quickly to protect their historic places. But I suppose it is hard to be everywhere and predict the actions of idiots. <br /><br />I don't understand the riots because while I know it will be a hardship, it's my understanding that the measures are a requirement of Greece getting the EU's assistance. But, I have only a cursory knowledge of the situation. I also think there are always times like this (in every country) when some people are just looking for a reason (perhaps unconsciously) to erupt and express a lifetime of frustration; and there are then people to fuel and exploit that frustration. I hope leaders will emerge or step up to calm the situation and that the rioters will realize they are accomplishing nothing by destroying their beautiful city's best buildings and institutions.Lucky Press, LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819496666158854345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-78561181264286706672012-02-14T14:37:35.506+02:002012-02-14T14:37:35.506+02:00They say to create an antagonist, a writer has to ...They say to create an antagonist, a writer has to get inside their head.
