Before the crisis, Mixalis Athanasiadis-Novas owned a retail shop that employed 10 people. Forced to close down in 2011, he is now unemployed. At 55 years old, his chances of finding a job are quite slim. His wife is also unemployed and his youngest daughter is still in school. The entire family survives thanks to his eldest daughter’s salary: she works for Syriza, the political party currently in power in Athens. One of the early supporters of Alexis Tsipras’ party, Mixalis now dedicates all of his time to local political activism.
