Unfortunately, on the streets of Athens there are also children selling tissues or playing music. Child labor is prohibited in Greece and the fact that our society tolerates this, gives our culture a negative aspect.<\/p>\n \u03a6\u03c9\u03c4\u03bf\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b1 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc Alf Holm<\/a> \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf Pixabay<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u0393\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c3\u03b1\u03c2!

This form of trade is not illegal, provided that the sellers possess the state documents which give them permission…<\/p>\n<\/a>
