"The euro or the drachma, ca do not care, I will always be unemployed"


If the Greek elections are much attention to this soup kitchen in Athens, we do not expect miracles or changes.

After losing his job four years ago, Constantinos Polychronopoulos created the association "The other human" that offers free food to the poor. In 2011, it provided 50-60 meals a day, today, 450 meals are served daily. "No matter who is elected, I will continue to be unemployed, says Constantinos. I will continue to have no euro in my pocket. This is why I do not care if using the euro or the drachma. I do not have such dilemmas. And there are some three to four million Greeks like me. "


Distrust in the future is felt among small entrepreneurs, especially among those who are able to create their company during the crisis. This qu'Apostolis, like many others, feared most is uncertainty. This engineer had thought of emigrating. He eventually opened a trade. "It is not our only fear is a nightmare for all the Greeks, because with the euro, you have a sense of security. And if we return to the drachma or another currency, I think we'll get into a mishap where there will be no end in sight. "


Anxiety and uncertainty are back here in the company of mobile applications of these young entrepreneurs. A company that has been able to overcome obstacles in 2011 and 2012, two critical years. "In Greece, you have this volatility, things change very quickly and sometimes unexpectedly, deplores Dimosthenis Kaponis. It disrupts the cash flow, market trends, investment trends. "


The coffee shop is successful betting Korina who previously worked for a newspaper. She resigned in 2012 and set up his own business. Its formula combines concerts, fashion boutique coffee and works well. His wish: the reduction of bureaucracy. "I would like the next government provides more support for innovative ideas and entrepreneurs, especially when they are doing something new and different. I say this because of my own experience, because I really struggled to settle. "


Leave Greece for a country favorable to business has crossed his mind, but for now, Korina rather stay here.
