There are many people who emigrate and immigrate to Athens. They all have different reasons, push and pull factors, some of which I will explain in my essay.1. ReligionThe first factor of migration in Athens is religion. The very loyal and friendly attitude of the Greeks towards citizens of other nationalities and foreigners who have come is partly due to the traditional Christian upbringing. The main religion, venerated in Greece, represented by the Eastern Orthodox Church of Christ, controlled by the Holy Synod. Here basically there are very religious people who observe all the Christian traditions and commandments. However, it is not prohibited to practice Islam or any other religion in the country. So, this factor can be a push for religious people, but it can also be a push for atheists.2. StrikesOne of the main push factors is the growing number of strikes caused by the crisis in Athens. In December 2008, riots broke out in Athens that quickly encompassed and shook the whole of Europe. The reason has long been the growing discontent with the economic situation and the global economic crisis. Since the spring of 2010, national strikes, riots and terrorist attacks have occurred almost continuously in Greece. A serious struggle has been going on in Greece for three years. We have the highest number of national strikes in Europe. private and public sector " - General Secretary of the Greek Communist Party Aleka Papariga, January 30, 20123.
