Listen to how European leaders humiliated an entire people in the #EU.
It was a week that brought the future of #Greece and the #Eurozone to the brink. Ten years ago, on 6 July the Greek people voted against the terms of a financial bailout which included raising taxes and slashing welfare spending.
Greece owed €323bn to various countries and banks within #Europe. Its banks were closed. A quarter of the population and half of Greece’s young people were unemployed.
The morning after the vote, Euclid Tsakalotos was brought in to replace Yanis Varoufakis as finance minister. His predecessor had accused European leaders of “terrorism” in their handling of the crisis. Parachuted in to last-ditch talks with angry European leaders, Euclid Tsakalotos describes to Josephine McDermott the make-or-break 17-hour summit in Brussels.
He reveals that when Angela Merkel, the leader of Greece’s biggest lender #Germany, said she was leaving the room because she could not accept what was on the table, Donald #Tusk, president of the European Council, actually locked the door to stop her leaving and force an agreement to be reached.

As the cost of spraying crops with pesticides becomes increasingly expensive, farmers in Greece have turned to a cheaper alternative: liquids in unlabeled bottles that contain products banned in the European Union. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/07/15/sustainability/europe-pesticide-farmers-costs/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #pesticides #agriculture #greece #europe #eu

If you wonder what you can do for #Palestine, your time will come sooner than you are ready for. Dock #workers in #France, #Greece & #Italy are refusing to load military equipment destined for #Israel. A #genocide requires a lot of logistics/resources, so much so that all levels of society are involved. Be there and be counted when it creeps into your meetings, your procurement reviews, your accounting, orders, shifts, artistic opportunities...
Should I... move here? 🇬🇷💙 #Greece
