Okey, firstly let me apologize if the "3rd world" nation remark doesn't make any sense, but believe you me, in native language it is thought to be more of a humorous remark than a racist one (i must confess i did have in mind that it may sound like one when i wrote it, but just couldn't express myself in English in other words)

Secondly, as far as it concerns the facts, as a humorous remark as it is, what i needed to point out was not the poverty itself, than the way other countries see more and our own government treats us.

Thirdly on the part of the "radical" additions, the list is being projected as shown here, from all greek media. It could be a game of "asking for more, to get less", a known trick of politics to make people start questioning the social achievemnts already achieved so as to later cutback on a portion of them.
