Now see this; Reuters Report “Curtain Falling on Greece’s Ruling Dynasts”
Posted on 09 December 2011 by Stella Tsolakidou Tags: Greek political system, nepotism, Reuters agency, ruling families. According to Reuters’ report “Curtain Falling on Greece’s Ruling Dynasts”, the end for the ruling political families in Greece is very near.
The report is explaining all the reasons why the political situation in Greece is bound to change but underlines that “nepotism and patronage are so deeply rooted, and family and clan loyalties so strong, that change will not come quickly”.
“Political culture doesn’t change overnight and Greek politics is in many ways personalistic and polarized, where the name of the family is far more important than any other credentials,” told Othon Anastasakis, director of Southeast European studies at Britain’s Oxford University to Reuters.
The current recession, however, has brought a wind of change in relative opinion polls, showing that leading PASOK and ND parties are no longer getting the former support from the Greek people as they used to.
The Karamanlis, Papandreou and Mitsotakis families have ruled Greece for almost 50 years in rotation, rendering their names the only qualification for getting at least a seat in parliament. This nepotism had turned the Greek political system into a closed profession, leaving no room for new people and new ideas.

News there not 1 million immigrants in Greece but 1.5 million.

About 1.5 Million Immigrants Live in Greece
By Marianna Tsatsou on July 19, 2012 In News

Greek Interior Minister Evripidis Stylianidis stated that figures for legal and illegal immigrants in Greece range between 1,300,000 and 1,500,000 people. He participated in the one-day-lecture entitled “Dual Challenge: Financial Crisis and Immigration” which was held by the Constantinos Karamanlis Institute for Democracy.
According to Mr Stylianidis, this evaluation follows some data released in 2001, that illegal and legal immigrants hovered at 762,000. In 2005 and 2007, following some migration laws that legalized another 500,000 people, this number may have increased while almost half a million illegal immigrants have been arrested, even more than once, since 2005.
European Union Agency Frontex authorities announced that 120 to 350 people make attempts to cross Greek borders on a daily basis. Moreover, 150-200 people apply daily for legal residency status.
According to statistical data on criminality in Greece, non-Greek people living in the country are more involved in violent crimes in comparison to Greeks.“As a result,” stressed Interior Minister,“Greek citizens feel afraid and insecure.”
