Greek citizens paid 52,000 euros so that the Region of Western Greece could have profiles in social media’s pages. In a period that most Greeks cannot afford to pay their rent, bills and many more daily or monthly expenses, Greek authorities decided to waste thousands of euros for some online pages provided for free.
How much did you pay for a Facebook, Twitter or Google+ page, dear reader? Because mine was totally free! As appears, Region of Western Greece spent €6,150 for a FREE YouTube channel. Over than double was the price for the Facebook, Twitter and Google+ pages amounting to €15,252.
Officials of Western Greece spent over 30,000 euros to create an online platform presenting everything concerning the prefecture as well to design its logo and have a slogan.
The funny part of the story is that from the moment that the bill was reported at wiredandready.net, Facebook and Twitter users posted comments on the Prefecture’s profile asking, for example, in a clearly sarcastic way “how much would someone pay for a ‘like’ on their page?”
