ATHENS - While Greece’s singers, dancers, artists, musicians and others in the arts sector largely going unsupported during a more than year-long COVID-19 pandemic, street sellers of a magazine about the homeless will get a benefit.
The New Democracy government’s Labor and Social Security Ministry said vendors selling the magazine Sxedia (Raft,) most of whom were homeless or at risk of being so would get a retroactive 534-euro ($636) for January and February.
