Poor Greece! Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek Finance Minister has said that his country is now 320 million Euros in debt. How much more austerity can they take? It is said that half of Greeks are now living in poverty. There is no quick fix. If they leave the Euro and return to the Drachma, this could take a very painful year. In the meantime they are trying to care for nearly 60,000 refugees from Syria and Afghanistan in the main, smuggled to the Greek Islands from Turkey, and now stuck, and unable to continue their journeys West.
