Everything is black, Greece is a broken country and the solution is to spend a lot more money. But this recipe was tried in 2023 and it failed miserably. Some people don’t learn from their mistakes, because when you don’t know what to do, you do what you know what he knows how to do is throw mud, try to drown the political debate in toxicity and plant new leftist trees, believing that he can convince the citizens that we have a few tens of billions left over so that we can magically solve all the problems . This is not a responsible political proposal.”
