The return of a young Greek soldier who hugs his parents, in the village Mákri of Thrace. 1922. Rol Agency. (colorized by Giorgos Mpairamis - memories of the past in color)

My favourite detail from the photo is the father who waits discreetly for the son to be done hugging the mother, and has gathered flowers to welcome him back.

We’ve lost Greece’s manual This week's newsletter from AthensLive is out:

* The costliest Olympics end up in derelict venues and a financial crisis 

* The EU strikes migration deal, while it is revealed pushed-back refugees burned alive 

* Major Greek involvement in Predator scandal revealed in detail 

The iconic and super-expensive OAKA stadium roof, created by renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava for Greece’s 2004 Olympic Games, has become derelict to such a degree that the stadium closed due to safety reasons, Greeks were told. It was reported that the roof was created with a license for a pergola and that its maintenance manual had been lost…

While the EU was striking an important migration deal that would supposedly lead to a change of its asylum rules to lift pressure on the continent’s border countries, Greek authorities were confiscating the mobile phones of the Coast Guard officers involved in the Pylos shipwreck - a whole 119 days after. Plus, the NYT revealed that refugees who burned alive during Greece’s wildfires were push-back victims.

Finally, a series of investigative reports named Predator Files brings stormy details on Greece’s deep involvement with Predator illegal spyware.

*BREATHES IN* Oh my god, why must you be so good looking because that is literally illegal. People said that Disney World is the most magical, happiest and perfect place in the world. Well, apparently, guess they forgot that standing right beside you is an infinite times better than Disney World. OwO
