That's because they're mostly in the wrong timezone, they should be on Western European time like the UK and Portugal. Interestingly enough the reason for that is Hitler :)

- magduf 8y agoNot exactly. The reason is themselves. They chose to have a dictator, and that dictator changed the timezone to match Hitler-time way back in the 1940s. Then they just never changed it back, even though their dictator finally died over 40 years ago. So they've made conscious choices to stay in the wrong timezone for almost 80 years now.
