The 2008 Greek riots started on 6 December 2008 when Thousands of Greeks have taken to the streets across the country, repeatedly clashing with police and vowing to overthrow the government. But the rising cost of living has been a persistent problem in Greece, straining household budgets and risking long-term growth. While the unrest was triggered by the shooting incident, many commentators described the reactions as expressing deeper causes, especially a wide-spread feeling of frustration in the younger generation about economic problems of the country, high unemployment especially among the young generation, and a perception of general inefficiency and corruption in Greek state institutions.

Freedom Now to the 260.000 Greeks of North Macedonia that suffer under the Neo Soviet state of Former Yugoslav Macedonia , a state totally unrelated to anything Macedonian ... Support the Greeks support the Trouth !
This may not be the appropriate place to ask, but have the riots in Greece long since subsided? I would love to visit Greece in the near future. I am approaching college very soon, and am currently in my last semester of highschool. I dream of studying abroad in Greece, and would like to act out on that possibility hopefully somewhere in the foreseeable future. Is it safe to visit Greece right now?
Dear PinkLoLiPoPs the riots subsided over a month ago. But even if you had visited Greece during the riots, you wouldn't have any problems at all. The riots did not target civilians, they never do. It was an action triggered by the murder of a young boy, but what they where really rioting against was the, unmeritocracy, the corrupt system, the world economic recession and the lack of political leadership.
The goverment just wants to keep stealing people's money , the police to keep being lazy ,corrupt and incompetent ,the teenagers to " write history " when they're 15 ,all needs covered by their parents and no idea what real problems are,the media to keep terrifying people with overdramatism,the leftist parties and syndicate-leaders to use the death of the child to promote themselfs ! Thats Greece in 2009 ! There are no good guys(except the poor dead child ) and bad guys here.They are all bad!
