Greece Names Nazi Reparations Panel (Published 2012)
ATHENS — The Greek government has appointed a panel to determine whether Germany might still owe Greece money in reparations for Nazi war crimes, a move that indicates the extent to which the shaky coalition government in Athens is trying to appease lawmakers from the extreme right and left. Christos Staikouras, a deputy finance minister, on Monday signed a decision appointing four members of the
Greek crisis: precarious funding pushes health and social services to extremes
As the volunteers unpack their shopping bags of rice, milk and cooking oil, Goman Badder retreats to the room he lives in with his wife and their one-year-old son. For the 28-year-old Syrian Kurd, the deliveries are a mixed blessing: he is relieved that his family will not go hungry, but humiliated that it has come to this. He had hoped for better things for his son, asleep on the neatly made bed.
Slavoj Žižek · Save us from the saviours: Europe and the Greeks
Imagine a scene from a dystopian movie that depicts our society in the near future. Uniformed guards patrol half-empty downtown streets at night, on the prowl for immigrants, criminals and vagrants. Those they find are brutalised. What seems like a fanciful Hollywood image is a reality in today’s Greece. At night, black-shirted vigilantes from the Holocaust-denying neo-fascist Golden Dawn movement

Experts Say Default Would Mean Eviction (Published 2012)
ATHENS — Could Greece default on its debt and still remain in the euro zone? Greece’s most popular politician, the firebrand left-wing leader Alexis Tsipras, has more or less said why not. “We think it will be very hard for Europe to throw us out,” said Euclid Tsakalotos, one of Mr. Tsipras’s top economic advisers. But that attitude defies the conventional wisdom of the country’s elites, to say no
Eurodämmerung
Some of us have been talking it over, and here’s what we think the end game looks like: 1. Greek euro exit, very possibly next month. 2. Huge withdrawals from Spanish and Italian banks, as depositors try to move their money to Germany. 3a. Maybe, just possibly, de facto controls, with banks forbidden to transfer deposits out of country and limits on cash withdrawals. 3b. Alternatively, or maybe in
