Yannis Palaiologos of Katherimini newspaper on Greece in 2015, the rise of Syriza and Tsipras, and the negotiations with the EU
01/21/2015
Palaiologos gives a Greek view of the debt crisis and a failing grade for the Pasok and New Democracy parties in letting Greece fall into the debt crisis and failing to improve tax collection to protect a favored elite. The quick rise of Syriza is a response to the situation where much of the burden of servicing the debt, the spending cuts and the higher taxes, has fallen on the lower and working classes, with the upper classes in Greece failing to pay their fair share of taxes to cut the budget deficit.

Rich and poor life expectancy gap widens
BBC News 02/15/18
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
