Eurostat

Bulgarians are the unhappiest nation in the European Union. Austria, Poland and Romania rank in the top 3 of the happiest nations. This is shown by a new survey of the European Union, which is conducted every year by Eurostat. The rating scale goes from 0, which is absolute dissatisfaction with life in the country, to 10, which indicates that things could not be better.

Newly released figures from Eurostat reveal a notable surge in Bulgarian air passengers, marking a 74% increase in 2022. Despite this growth, the nation holds the distinction of the EU's second slowest rise, with Cyprus recording a slightly lower increase at 69%.

In the latest Eurostat data disclosed on Thursday, it's been unveiled that a significant 85% of Bulgarians resided in households owning their homes in the year 2022, marking a slight increase from the preceding year's 84.9%. This statistic presents an intriguing aspect of the housing landscape in the country.

Alarming data emerged for Greece from Eurostat's final data for June's European Union-harmonized consumer price index: Last month Greece recorded the highest monthly increase at 3.3% in prices in the food category not only in the eurozone, but throughout the European Union. In fact, the increase recorded in food prices in June compared to May was even higher than that in Turkey.

The number of housing transactions in Cyprus increased by 27.4% in 2022 compared to 2021, which was the largest increase recorded in 16 EU countries for which data is available, according to information released by Eurostat, the statistical service of the EU.

The average price level faced by Greek households in 2022 for consumer goods amounted to 88% of the European Union average, according to recent data from Eurostat.

Greek second round elections are due, and tax policy and tax fairness have become (purposefully) a campaign issue. Sadly, divide-and-conquer is polarizing the people and setting up parties against each other as though the other side is not worth a vote. It is not just in Greece where this strategy is popular. 

Will my friends allow my opinion that this is inelegant?
