Greece is *THE* case study on total RoL failure, EU procurement and subsidies effect and related corruption, cronyism combined with predatory public-sustained neoliberalism (απ'τα Lidl), faux "meritocracy" mixed with far right populism - to name just a few areas ripe for research.
Greek government ministers and senior officials are suspected of colluding in a massive farm aid scam to defraud the EU of hundreds of millions of euros.
But they're likely to evade justice because PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis is blocking a full-scale investigation.

14 years and a Cambridge University Chancellor later, back into the Senate House we go.
Here's to a Chancellor of principle, who'll stand against corporatism, academic precarity, personal agendas, make Cambridge a beacon and keep the tide at bay.

Why it's impossible to live in Greece- a simple (and familiar) explainer:
