00,000-120,000 small or medium-sized
businesses closed, 140,000 households
and small businesses are without electricity
and 2,000,000 people are unemployed, according
to Eurostat. Furthermore, in the last 3 years
120,000 scientists left Greece due to unemploy-
ment and recession, depriving the country of
valuable human recourses. These devastating
numbers are rapidly increasing, leaving no doubt
of the fundamental failure of austerity policies.

Greek government.

The public property and utilities, as well as the
mineral wealth of our country are sold off for a pit-
tance to European and multinational companies.
317,000 square meters of the most beautiful and
fertile land in northern Greece (Chalkidiki) were
sold to a Canadian company (Eldorado Gold) to
excavate gold, at the humiliating amount of
11,000,000 euros. The total destruction of the
environment will lead the whole area to devasta-
tion and poverty for many decades.
It is not accidental that the first two countries
dragged to the IMF solution and the troika (the com-
mittee that supervises the country’s compliance
with the terms of the loan agreement) are Greece
and Cyprus. The EEZ of Greece and Cyprus (the
marine area on which they have special rights over
the exploration and use of marine recourses,
including energy production from water and wind)
covers the richest part of the Mediterranean Sea
and probably the most significant of the world in
terms of geopolitical importance.

For the first time in contemporary
European history the Friedman economic
model is imposed on a European country,
ripping off its wealth and forcing its
population to an era of poverty.
