A nationwide strike in Greece brought ferries to a standstill, grounded flights, and halted train services on Wednesday as the country's largest trade unions demanded higher wages to address the increasing cost of living.
After a debt crisis from 2009 to 2018, which resulted in wage and pension cuts in exchange for approximately 290 billion euros in bailouts, Greece has experienced economic growth, with a projected 2.3% increase this year, surpassing other eurozone economies.
