Obama nella disastrata Grecia, Atene

Riot police officers confront angry protestors demonstrating against U.S. President Bill Clinton's one-day visit to Athens on Friday November 19, 1999

Obama opened his final foreign trip as president with reassuring words about the US commitment to NATO and also held talks with prime minister Alexis Tsipras.

Del resto ad Atene e in tutta la Grecia la situazione è deteriorata al punto che gli effetti sulla salute pubblica già si vedono: secondo i dati pubblicati in primavera dalla Banca di Grecia ( pagina 91 del documento, ndr), nel Paese la mortalità infantile è cresciuta dal 2,65% del 2008 al 3,75% del 2014, mentre la percentuale di chi soffre di depressione è schizzata dal 3,3% del 2008 al 12,3% del 2013. Parimenti cresce anche il numero dei nati sottopeso e degli adulti che soffrono di una patologia cronica.
