Greece has the second highest level of youth unemployment in the European Union as 26.8 percent of youths between the ages of 20 and 34 are neither professionally employed, nor in an apprenticeship, nor studying.

Greece from the viewpoint of international investment capital remains marginal.

The unemployment rate among youth up to the age of 24 was 36.6 percent, while among young people between the ages of 24-34, the rate was 24.3 percent.

A retrial is absolute absurdity, because what Mr. Georgiou is accused of is technically pumping up the deficit in order for Greece to be subjected to a bailout memorandum.

EU officials have repeatedly denounced the prosecution of Georgiou, which they view as shameful harassment, arguing that he just did his job properly.
