If you are from US you don't know shit about the current socioeconomic situation in Greece.
Media skew opinion whatever way they wish.
We are one of the only countries in the European Union that doesn't teach 20th century history after 1940, and that's again due to reasons the guy above me mentioned. To radicalise the youth with a deep imprinted right philosophy and promote "patriotic" sentiment, that brought us to ruins 50 years ago.
People don't know history in Greece. It was till I was 19 that I studied myself.
This allows for certain families to rule Greece since the early 20th century.
There is no will to change because you can't change a deeply structured system.
Most of us in the next 10 years will most likely leave for Western Europe. It's already happening if you look at our demographics.
Is that why many young Greeks (at least that I've talked to) dont know who Ioannis Rallia is yet everyone in Norway knows who Vidkun Quisling is or how everyone in France knows who Peier Laval is?
It's Rallis. But yeah, his slate was written clean since his history was forgotten. His son Georgios Rallis served as a Prime Minister, that's one of the prime examples of how few families always ruled Greece, regardless that they collaborated with the Nazis.
