Empty villages, disillusioned young workers, and government officials scrambling for solutions: this is the stark reality Euronews uncovered in Greece, where the country is bracing for a major population collapse fuelled by plummeting numbers of births, mass emigration, and low fertility rates. #EuronewsWitness
Give me any word, any word 😆
Also, yes, good idea pointing out xenophobia. We Greeks keep complaining about both the demographic problem and the influx of immigrants. Our problem is not that there are fewer babies, it’s that there are fewer babies of the right kind. There is some hope as second generation immigrants are normalizing different ways of being Greek (like the Antetokounmpos). Who knows what 10 years down the road looks like.

Easy. Is come from the grrrreek word χειμώνα, is mean winter. What do you put on in the winter when it’s cold? A kimono. There you go.
It is shocking to me that nobody got why xenophobia heavily contributes to the current population collapse in Greece (especially given the headlines of the past ~decade) and that nobody got the My Big Fat Greek Wedding reference before you did.
