The Greek Parliament has voted on a concession to begin exploratory oil drilling in the country in early 2020 as part of a larger effort to offset the country’s debt.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis's administration had barely settled in last month before it made a very sharp, very sudden bank in a worrisome direction.

Since summer school programs for refugee children failed last summer due to budget constraints and lack of staff, teachers have begun taking it upon themselves to teach Syrian children elementary Greek. But it's not so simple as it sounds.
Nerves are mounting on all sides, as many suspect this could be the year the Catalans make good on their promise to secede.

Journalists have a responsibility to plainly tell the truth about how truly different the Democrats and the Republicans are today, especially with both democracy and the rule of law at stake this November.
From Hungary and Poland to Italy and Spain, today's anti-abortionist movements are feeding one another—while also driving a growing counter-movement.
Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.
