It's shocking to see people living under these circumstances in a EU country...

maybe SYRIZA and their right-wing allies ANEL could have used those €600m on improving these terrible conditions instead of giving handouts to their voters.

I agree, Greece should be allowed to do some big time deficit spending to restore social services to an acceptable level.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

Sadly, the Greek government can not be trusted to spend money, as the first thing they do after having some money to spend is to unilaterally give it to their clients.

I don't get your concern. These lazy good for nothing leeches need to get off from their arses and get a proper job. It's bleeding heart cowards like you who make this situation worse by dangling government handouts in front of them, keeping these people dependent, weak and lazy.

You see, as long as refugees are not treated that way in Greece, we can't send them back through the Dublin process, so it makes a lot of sense to use money that the Greek state is allowed to spend on fixing problems that negatively affect the EU at large and especially Germany.

Caveat: If we really believe that Greece as a higher primary surplus than the MoU demands, given the history of Greek statistics, we might want to have an independent audit of that first.

Assad is a maniac who routinely tortures and kills anyone who dares to disagree with his regime and is not above using nerve gas on civilians, ditto for Erdogan but without the sarin, and part of the region is ruled by a terrorist organization that could be described as Al Qaeda meets the nazis.

But sure, this is the spark that will blow the Middle East to kingdom come.

Oh no but what about the pragmatism!! Think of the realpolitiks!

It won't change a drat thing about the poor downtrodden souls being rained upon by husks of metal and fire. It will minutely disrupt the functioning of the corrupt and barbaric governments of both Turkey and Russia. A net positive.
