GREEK REPORTERS

Five  Bulgarians and Greeke were looking for  couples in Greece who could not  give birth their own  children. They approached them and promised them to make their dream come true with 20,000 euros. They then traveled to Sliven, Bulgaria, where they found poor pregnant women who could not live their children and brought them to Greece.


They  kept them  in a house in Northern Greece, and then went to give birth to Athens or Katerini - depending on the families that would  adopt the newborn children.  According to police data from 2014 to 2016, the circuit sold 5 babies.



Baby trafficking is booming in Greece because of legislation that puts a lot of obstacles in legitimate adoption, as more and more parents leave their children in public hospitals and institutions because of the crisis.

Dimitris Papadimitriou and Rania Antonopoulou were a couple  of ministers of the Greek government. Both of them are now out of the government. The reason is the turmoil that erupted when it became known that the deputy Labor Minister Rania Antonopoulou was receiving  a rent allowance of 1000 euro per month at a time when the crisis in the Greek economy deepened and the citizens became poorer.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras urged Ms Antonopoulou to resign. A few hours later, her husband, Minister of Economy and Development, Dimitris Papadimitriou, submitted his own resignation, which was accepted.

The intense protest of workers in nurseries and mayors is triggering a bill from the Greek Ministry of Education that provides for children to start compulsory education from the age of four. Workers are afraid of losing their jobs while unemployment in Greece is too high.
