Griechenland EU-Ratspräsident: Bettler auf dem Thron. -Griechenland ist für sechs Monate Chef im Ring der EU. Als Ratspräsident bestimmt der Sanierungsfall die Tagesordnung Europas. Das wird schon klappen, meinen die Griechen.

Griechenland steckt immer noch in einer tiefen Wirtschaftskrise. Die Arbeitslosigkeit liegt mit 27 Prozent auf negativem Rekordniveau. Steuern steigen. Öffentliche Ausgaben sinken. Hunderte Milliarden Euro an Schulden drücken. Nur ganz langsam bessert sich die Lage, die der griechische Parlamentsabgeordnete Konstantinos Karagkounis als "humanitäre Katastrophe" ansieht. Karagkounis, der der konservativen Partei von Regierungschef Antonis Samaras angehört, sagte bei einem Besuch in Brüssel, trotz leicht nach oben gehender Indikatoren sei die Situation der normalen Griechen einfach desaströs. "Wir müssen mit einer sehr schwierigen Situation fertig werden. Die griechische Präsidentschaft muss große Herausforderungen meistern." Europas ärgster Sanierungsfall übernimmt am 1. Januar 2014 nach einem schon vor Jahren festgelegten Turnus die Ratspräsidentschaft der EU. Die griechische Regierung muss hunderte Sitzungen leiten, komplexe Verhandlungen führen und 13 Ministerräte in Athen veranstalten.

KTSIOT, Israel — In the empty desert, workers are building an answer to a difficult question: What should Israel, a nation built by Jewish refugees, do about the 55,000 African migrants who entered this country illegally, fleeing famine, bondage and war?
The newly constructed “open facility” is designed to hold up to 3,300 illegal immigrants. It is not a prison, but not exactly a shelter, either. Residents will be required to answer roll call three times a day. They are not allowed to seek work. The facility is surrounded by a fence topped with spools of razor wire, and the migrants will be locked down at night.

Islands brace for influx of Syrian refugees
