Things are getting worse in my country. It's so bad that even us, pupils, risk to not finish the school year.
We only have 3 weeks of school left, but starting from 1 june nobody will put marks in the catalog(you know, that massive book that holds the pupils's marks- idk the name in english).
This situation is unclear, most of us(including me) already have enough marks to have their averages(again, idk the name in english, but it's basically... the "average" at each subject) closed. The problem is- will they close our averages before 1 june or let them not closed?
All this is happening after the government borrowed a large amount of money from IMF and now they have to put drastic measures in application.
One of these measures is reducing the by 25% the professors salaries and by 15% the pensions.
Well, I guess professors just couldn't stand this started revolts.
Oh, but the situation in Greece is much worse...
Politicians...
You know, when Ceausescu was at power, through his ideas and powerful industrialization, our country reached the point where it had no debts.
I know, conditions were much worse then, but I think this was only until Romania could be a true independent country. After that, living conditions could rise. But oh well, he was killed in 89'. The so-called democracy(I have to say I'm in a neutral position about these regimes, none of them are perfect) succeeded to bring Romania to its knees. From a strong exporter, we now import almost all of the products. Industries have fell, and everything that's left from them is stolen. And I strongly believe the politicians are a bunch of wealth hunters( big salaries for sleeping in the Parliament ?)
The most painful thing is that us, normal people, can change nothing. It's all driven by leaders- and most of them are corrupt.
tldr: Long Story Short

Oh man, this is bad :|.
And I think the only country that's currently exporting anything is China.
