Ordinary Greeks are still suffering

-

Apparently Greece has met its draconian fiscal measures.

But tough austerity measures remain, there is a 25% unemployme­nt rate, the Greek diaspora loses thousands of talented young people to financiall­y sound countries daily and those who remain wallow in poverty.

Greece is a non entity in the greater scheme of things ... much like the shunned Cinderella.

Their assets that were of any value have been sold to the likes of the Chinese.

While the money men of the European Union slap the backs of the politician­s in Greece for a job well done, the people on the ground are suffering. Peter Bachtis
