"When at last would you stop lying about the pushbacks? About what's happening with #Refugees in #Greece? Please don't insult our intelligence."

A journalist speaking truth to the Greek PM. Not easy to witness that in Greece, where almost all mainstream media are pro-government.

Resisting government plans for privatizing the forest, making plans for corporate economic growth in places where people want to live in balance with nature.

Protests today in #Athens by people living in areas hit by the summer #wildfires. Coping with the aftermath of complete state abandonment, resulting to rain floods this autumn.

"the unavioidable reality of climate change", said the Greek PM, while issuing permits for fossil fuel drilling.
