Just don't know what to say or expect... We will see what is going to happen.

Hopefully Germany will take a second look at it's own default. It never paid Greece a dime in reparations for the damage done during WWII.  Extending a bit of courtesy feels appropriate.

Well, this is another heart warming story, but I will post it here, so anyone can do whatever he thinks.

Thom Feeney is the English young man started a campaign in the Indiegogo platform, to help Greece reach the target for the IMF, 1,6 billions euros. The Greek Bailout Fund campaign may have not reached the target, but it was defininitely a heart-warmingly huge success. Over 100,000 ordinary people from 182 countries raised almost €2 million for the people of Greece.

So, what Thom did again? Let's see what he says:

''As the previous campaign has now finished and we have not reached the target, all contributions were be refunded. But please don't leave me just yet! I have launched this campaign, with flexible funding, so that any and all money raised can be invested to help the people of Greece. I realise now I should have done this on the first one - I can only apologise.''

Now the target is 1 million euros, and all the money will go to the Greek people.

Another difficult night for Greece.

Europe punishes Tsipras. But they cannot understand that they punish the Greek people.

This is not the Europe they made us dream about, few years ago at schools.

The Greeks have been screwed without even a kiss.

We will survive. As always.
However, it appears that the thousands of suicides in the last five years are due to the economic crisis.
The most important thing for the people is not to despair, and find the courage to rise up from the ruins.
