"A large majority of Greek lawmakers supported giving a mandate to Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to seek reparations from Germany. The Wednesday vote marks the first official parliamentary decision on the Tsipras 2015 campaign pledge to raise the emotionally charged issue. The government can now take "every appropriate legal and diplomatic action to satisfy Greece's demands."…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |

VCarter has it, I believe. Now, can I sue the Greek government for sending over all that yogurt? (Can't stand the stuff, myself.) |

They're also running out of time if they want to try and collect back child support from the troops occupying them at the time… ;-) |
