"Like the Titanic flee ran aground, bid farewell to the deep financial crisis of the motherland Greece is now too poor to feed 11 million citizens." Reuters, a financial commentator case of a sigh.

If you aspire to the Greek blue sea and sky, I suggest you go as soon as possible. He's late, you may not feel.

Under the weight of the flagging economy and austerity policies, had crowded the holy city, is now gradually fall as a "ghost town". Europe debt raging storm swept away the laughter, and air leaving the endless boredom and depression.

Empty and alone commercial buildings

Athens in the end the long and short? Know look at the Hilton Hotel.

Athens Hilton (HiltonAthens,), Sophia Street, Avenue 46, Athens city on the level of one of the five-star hotel. Staying here, you can in the room window overlooking a beautiful view of the Acropolis.

But it is incredible to think that the unusually spacious hotel lobby, surprisingly empty. This is not a joke, June 13, a foreign financial media in Greece time 22:00 go to the hotel to shoot, upload four photos, we found only three people: two gatekeepers, but also a man lying on the sofa doing nothing. Some users even Message to ridicule, "soon the general election, I thought here would be reporters crowded around."

Do visitors have retracted the room to see the European Cup? I am afraid that is not true. In the Athens downtown, a huge Nike store, there have been in similar situations. Sports shop (Photo taken at the local evening 7) did not see the shadow of a customer, is extremely bright chandeliers and on the shelves alone clothing. The Greek economy increasingly fall again seems evident.

Bloomberg data show, the first quarter of this year, Greece's nominal economic growth shrinking 6.2 percent, narrowed by 1.3 percentage points than the fourth quarter of last year, but still close to the last 10 years to a new low. In addition, Greece has more and more people join the unemployment ranks. One quarter of this year, the country's unemployment rate climbed to 22.6 percent, rose by nearly 2 percentage points. To make matters worse, the youth unemployment rate (covering 15 to 24 years old) jumped to 52.7 percent. This means that every two people, there is one individual can not find a job.

Linger not of repression

Now in Greece is almost rare to see the smiling faces of the people.

George was an ordinary taxi driver in Athens. The sunglasses he was wearing a bottomless, like a rapper from Brooklyn, New York. But when one entered the door, complained to the Greek economy is really terrible. 1 year ago from the airport to Syntagma Square, the need for one hour, but now on the road no cars, only 25 30 minutes. "

Along the way, George babble. The Greek economy, George's life is the same pale. He is 40 years old, but because revenue dropped 75 percent, he had to move back to live with their parents. His brother divorced with two children, and at home have been unemployed for one year.

Athens has become a ghost town, here are crazy, the good days are over, if possible, Greece will not rule out the involvement of the war. "George stunned the world.

However, even if George is desperate extreme, he also has his own political aspirations. In this Sunday's general election, George decided to vote for leftist parties Syriza. He Henji the Panhellenic Social Movement Party (Pasok) and the new Democratic leader, because it is their Greece into crisis abyss.

In fact, the sharp drop in the wages of employed persons only one hand, Greek prices are also red hot. According to Al-Jazeera reported that the Greek economy over the past few years the average has shrunk 5 percent, but prices have increased the price of 3.6% per annum. For example, a cup of coffee in Athens average asking price of 4.7 euros, the same coffee in Berlin only need 4.18 euros. Clearly, the Greeks fear stockpile, pushing up prices.

But in the week before the election day Greece, we are still difficult to judge the fate of this country.

Strangely, there are rumors that the support to alleviate the hardship of the political parties of the agreement may be in the general election victory Thursday. This is a direct result of the blowout in the Greek stock market yesterday. The data show that the Bank of Greece shares rose more than 20%. As of 8:45 last night, the Athens stock index soared 8.3 percent to 541.23 points. In this regard, an anonymous agent said the market transactions, the assumption is that the radical left-wing coalition opposed to the EU and the IMF fund bailout Syriza, will not be able to get enough support to form a government
