@conradhackett 2016 was a difficult period for Greece, with a lot of bad publicity. The country was emerging from the informal default of 2010, and the economy was shrinking. At the same time a massive brain drain was triggered. In 2015, we faced a bank run, while a massive influx of refugees began immediately after. Where I live, is an island on the Greek - Turkish border, we had 1000 arrivals a day out of a total population of 50000.
