Need 100 euros? You are a (foreign ?) touriststranded in Greece? You can’t depart due to natural disaster like volcanic ash? You are still here, though you were planned to leave yesterday? Are you still in Greece because air traffic controllers strike or your airplane has not a drop of gasoline? No worries!
The Greek State will compensate you, with EUR 100 per day! So much money they don’t even pay to civil servants working away from work place… But you are lucky! You are a foreign tourist. Needless to say, you can blame your bad luck, if your departure date is before or after the strike or the volcanic ash.
Yeap! The relevant draft regulation is being promoted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and is being currently discussed in the Greek parliament.
The draft drew the criticism from left parties, who don’t like to see matching labor strikes with natural phenomena. I wonder why they are upset. I read somewhere else in Internet, that strikes fell in the Category “Lifestyle” ! That website owner might not have being that wrong at all. Then Greek labor unions are readying themselves for a hot strike autumn. That would mean that labor unions will turn the (after summer holidays) strikes into their way of life, yes!…. into their lifestyle!
Greek tourists will get nothing, as I understand. On the contrary, they will pay with their taxes the compensation given so generously by the Ministry of Tourism.
