"GREECE: Royal Recall"
====There is a difference between Ancient Greece and Modern or present day Greece. Over 2,000 years of things changing. In today's world, with the modern politics, the republic traditions have became primarily a dream. In this country, a Greek "royalist" leader wanted a monarchy for himself. Why? So he could get the power and rule the country of Greece. Time and time again the Government of Royalist have debated on monarchy versus republic. Last week, a few republicans have protested because they do not want a monarchy.==== ====This is very important to the people because depending on what they choice, it will affect their lives. Not only will the government be affected but also your daily life, laws, and leaders. This story is good for the country so they can know what is going on. Personally, i would stick with republic and not switch to monarchy were only one person gets the power. The United States has a republic and it is very good. So follow our example and stick with it.====

"Greece's Painful Road to Economic Recovery"
====Prime Minister George Papandreou had a big speech on Saturday in the northern city of Thessaloniki. There he said to the Greeks that painful economic reforms would "unleash the country's creative potential." The Prime Minister also promised to cut corporate taxes to stimulate investment, and to open up restricted professions and privatize the energy market.==== ====In Greece, they are in debt of 300 billion-euro. That is a lot of money. So i do believe that the Prime Minister needs to continue making changes to help the country overcome their debt. This article said that hope is dimming. Not good! The article also says the rest of the year will probably not be any better but there is light farthur down the road.Consumers will spend less as they begin to feel the effects of the austerity measures that were a stipulation of the 110 billion-euro bail out Greece got from the IMF and the EU last may.====

"The New Guerrilla Group Threatening Greece"
====During the early summer as it is now, tourism is very high in Greece. This is good though, Greece needs all the visitors that it can get. Of course, Greece is still struggling with debt. Therefore, Greece is kind of relying on tourism to help them. The only thing is that tourism need to realize Greece is not as safe as it looks.==== ====There were threats from the Rebel Sect that was very unexpected and was on a whole different level. Whenever these group of people come to your country they will scare you and may even harm some people. They hurt Greece because they are already hurting and when they come things just got worse. The point of this group or even goal is not known. I think there is no point because the group is pointless.====

"Greece: O Aghelastos"
====Carnival time did not bring the carnival this year to Athens last week. People did not roams the streets with happy smiles on their face as clowns crack them up. Instead, this season reminded all people that Greece is one of the unhappiest nation of Europe.==== ====I was so shocked to know that Greece is in so much debt and it affects their daily lives. No carnival? why? Because of the country is in Greece and your in debt. I was considering traveling to Greece but know knowing they are in so much debt and it is very depressing, maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea.====

"Athens, Greece"
====The beautiful capital of Greece that should be visited. Birthplace of drama, democracy, and philosophy, Athens today is synonymous with smog, cement, and aesthetic anarchy. But after a radical revamp for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games, Athens is enjoying a renaissance. The clash between myth and modern-day grit is an Athenian trademark: marble busts adorn souvlaki joints,====

====Byzantine churches nestle beside bouzouki clubs, the Parthenon reigns serene above a ragged expanse of apartment blocks. More than three million people are crammed into this loud, laid-back city. This makes me want to visit!====
