More than 15,000 people have already recovered from the disease… My recognition to Greece is even more sincere, knowing that the Greek people are also enduring a lockdown and other tough measures decided by the government to fight the pandemia,” he added. The Spanish flag remained on the facade of the Hellenic Parliament’s building for three days.

Since 2017, there is no Greek consulate and no consulate services are given in Barcelona. Meanwhile, Madrid and other spanish and European cities with less greeks and less commercial activity have greeks diplomats or honourary consulates. (yes, there are about 500-700 less greeks in Madrid, compring to BCN) It is a shame!!!!!
