let's talk about greece during the u.n. general assembly i sat down with the deputy prime minister of greece evangelos venizelos to discuss his country's pretty serious fiscal and civil turmoil now i was one of many of those was one intimidating guy but i have to say that to me he came off as relatively warm particularly in light of the fact that we were discussing greece's particularly its position in the euro zone currently and when i asked him about the social unrest in his country he had this to say. here a social explosion if you will in greece if if this is must we must avoid we must avoid. the social explosion we must understand. there or. that is essential. we must respect the second is made by people who made the calculation. now just several days before that very interview greece's far right golden dawn party which is described as a neo nazi group was implicated in the killing of a prominent left wing artist known for his anti-fascist views and after six years of recession and with youth unemployment at sixty perc

before for example this would give greece if they had a paolo currency a way to devalue that currency as a as a boost to the local economy the problem right now is that the euro can't be devalued so they're imprisoned in many ways by this euro which is being set by germany but get having a parallel currency would give them a way to devalue their local parallel currency against the euro and thus stimulate the economy in ways that other countries are doing what their central banks correct yeah that's right i mean essentially greece in a situation where they don't have their own currency just like saying a dollar us country and so it's america or an american near bankrupt states so they have no issue of their own europe's and then they should issue their own crisis currency and national currency and the elegant way today to do it do it completely extralegal it no been some coins and these us i look over extra advantages right so what we're seeing around the world is the adoption of electronic currencies digital currencies virtual currencies they are powering all kinds of start ups around

of greece at this point they're saying why not use the available to all to kickstart the greek economy you think electronic currencies correct i think the key word here is to start and for some something to kick start in a country like greece or portugal or whatever is you simply in the tools for the government and the country's central bank and if there is political weight you can next week simply start paying expenses for the government on their way to some country that's in a share of these new strong returns and everyone has a mobile phone today so it will start circulating into the economy and that firms and businesses will then have the choice of saying well i'm not accepting this new currency oh i did model europe's and then there we get less business so some firms being forced to accept it and then firms are starting to pay their employees yes you know share in this new electoral return say so it's really sort of percolate into the economy and then it can be taxed back again so that the government says that well we pay out in this chair old a new crisis turns it and we take xpe

and the troika circling if greece is too foolish not to take this direction forward for whatever reason could a country like ireland or cyprus or portugal or possibly italy could they step up and and and be the leaders in this. to fight back against what i call the financial terrorism of the troika your thoughts. is this i mean any country in who is a member of the ural so i'm just have the possibility to issue their alternative scene and someone in this country has come to this and if he's successful it can spread the program was early asked for simply technical reasons you had to make paper bills or even coins to make parallel turns just today you're going to be for the whole nation in the won't sue. actually kelly so i think this is this is just something that's around the corner it's just like the digital camera suggesting or. maybe the depth of the feel calmer well i guess turn on the i guess the obvious question hair is why not simply recommend that greece start adopting bitcoin it's already in place it's an on how crypto currency it's being now used by merchants all over the worl

they're promising changes in greece, to save greece from the crisis, which is completely fake. unhappy, soare so miserable, so they think they can find a solution by going to these people, who are fascists, like the nazis used to be. >> did you spend any time in greece when the protests were occurring? >> yes. i saw people trying to say, you have to stop them. finally, the government's decided to stop them. we will see how far that will go. >> we got word out you're going to be the guest on our show for the hour and people were writing in from all over the world questions. on our facebook page -- >> it doesn't have solutions, has questions and that is all. the solutions have to be found from the politicians, from people we vote for. and also the european community and others. i don't have the solution. the problem in greece is very complex, [indiscernible] >> do you think now, depending on what shape your film takes now on greece, your future project, is it easier or harder to get financing for films of this kind? >> it is harder. >> even in europe? >> even in europe. but in fr

greece in particular has been struggling to cope. thousands of refugees in greece are living rough or spending time waiting in overcrowded holding centers prior to deportation. they are not allowed to work. there are not enough jobs anyway. three years into the debt crisis, one in four greeks are unemployed. the greek state is still dependent on financial aid from e.u. partners. is an explosive situation which right-wing extremist groups are exploiting. but there are groups actively campaigning against racism, and they often risk their lives. to call themselves the wave-o- matics. for a multicultural dance troupe, life is not easy in athens these days. his mother is from cuba. reason enough for four men to attack him on the street one night. >> i talked to them. i said i am in greece. i have been living here 20 years. what is your problem? they responded like they did not care. they stopped just for a fight. >> it is a familiar story for other dancers in the group. they are often the target of insults during street performances. some
