So this Greek deficit problem isn’t as dangerous as we’re hearing, this may push more people to embrace it.

So what happens when the police need to interrogate someone who asks for a lawyer first? Are the police in Greece just out of luck?

In the picture accompanying the article, why are the signs being held written in the Latin alphabet (not Cyrillic) using English words?
(Oh, it’s all a joke, even if reported as news).

But, if it’s not a joke, Benjamin, the apparent answer is that it won’t matter, since the Greek lawyers all speak and write in English using the Latin alphabet, and the perps read and write Greek using Cyrillic letters. So, it’s still a joke on someone.

Actually, the Greek alphabet is the Greek alphabet. Cyrillic is the variation upon and development of the Greek alphabet used to write many Slavic languages.
