Griechenland

Greece, a country in southeastern Europe, is currently in the news for several reasons. Firstly, the government plans to implement a ban on social media access for individuals under 15, starting in 2027. This measure, announced by Prime Minister Mitsotakis, aims to protect minors. Secondly, a corruption case involving the misuse of EU funds is under investigation, targeting politicians suspected of favoring their constituents and obtaining illegal subsidies. The European Public Prosecutor's Office is handling the case. Finally, Greece is experiencing severe weather events, including floods, storms, and Saharan dust clouds. These conditions have caused widespread disruption, including school closures, flight cancellations, ferry service suspensions, and power outages. Tragically, at least one death has been reported due to the flooding near Athens. The combination of these political, legal, and environmental challenges highlights the diverse issues facing Greece at present.
