DEH, the power company of Geece, consistent with the all permeating philosophy of the Greeks regarding social responsibility, has been turning the switch off as it pleases. No concern for the public welfare. People have died, lung patients are gasping for life, thousand have been trapped in elevators, foods are rotting in the refrigerators. C'est la Vie, C'est la Grèce.
