In this Wednesday, June 12, 2019 photo, Haralambos Goumas, a 69-year-old sculptor and ceramicist poses for a photo and answers questions about his expectations of the new government, inside his workshop in Athens. He says: "I've had a hard time over the past decade with all the austerity measures foisted on us. Even though I've reached a pensionable age I continue to work, but again I could only expect a very modest pension. I hope that one day my workshop will fill up with young artists so I can teach them ceramics and sculpture ... But to do that I will need help from the government, which unfortunately doesn't look as if it will be forthcoming. Nevertheless, I am an optimist and believe Greece will progress."
