I haven't heard about the ID card thing. What's going on there?

The old ID cards included a religion and nationality field and Jews insisted that this was "discriminating" because of "personal data" and that religion and nationality shouldn't be mentioned on them. They demanded new ID cards, which will include all kinds of personal information and intrusive biometric data instead, and Israeli firms try to be the ones to print them.

The new ID cards will also be used as a wallet in a cashless society and there are serious concerns about privacy and state surveillance.

There is a current movement against this in Greece, here is a video from a demonstration against the new ID card scheme:
