The Greek PM, who is on the current issue of the magazine’s cover, said human rights were not a luxury in the times of the current economic crisis, talking about the government’s deliberations on the legal recognition of sexual identity, after the passing of the same sex civil partnership law. The Greek PM said he felt as the champion of minority rights in the interview.
