These are the results of the austerity measures in Greece

A 77 year old pensioner killed himself in front of the Greek Parliament today 04/03/2012.

He left a note saying "I am a pensioner.  I cannot live under these conditions.  I cannot look for food in the garbage bins.  This is why I decided to end my life".

The number of suicides has gone up dramatically over the past two years in Greece as a result of the continuing austerity measures undertaken by two consecutive governments, under the guidance and pressure of the IMF and the EU.

This is the TRUTH that they don't want you to learn!

This is the truth that they do not want you to learn!

In 2010 the average Greek is the 2nd hardest working worker in all of the OECD countries (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development).

According to the above list of countries, the average Greek works for 2109 hours per year when the average OECD worker works for only 1749 hours. The average German worker works for 1419 hours and the average Dutch worker for 1377 hours.

So who is laid back then? The Greeks or the rest of the EU?
