FT: Greece brain drain hampers economic recovery
The article notes that 350,000 – 400,000 Greeks, most in their 20’s and 30’s, emigrated mainly to EU countries since 2010

One can conclude that the decision of the court (or the Turkish government) was the result of intense backroom consultations, from which the Greek government was totally absent

“The Coast Guard was informed. My colleague informed them immediately. However, the answer was that he [the fisherman] should say nothing, and not make a big thing out of the incident,” Manios said

The return of the two officers to their country may serve as an occasion to reset relations between Turkey and its largest commercial partner, the EU

The US Ambassador had issued repeated public calls for the release of the two Greek officers, as had other US and EU officials.
Most mindlessly believed that participation in the eurozone was enough to protect Greece from a host of economic dangers that surround today’s interdependent and inter-linked world
The Turkish president’s diplomatic advisor assured his Greek counterpart that the two officers will be tried in absentia, and that if a penalty is imposed it will not exceed the prison time already served
'The victory of populist forces [SYRIZA] in 2015 led to a second economic crisis and the third [bailout] programme, and caused enormous harm,' said Evangelos Venizelos
Tsakalotos said that Greece’s bailout exit is founded on a series of factors, include the decisions of the Eurogroup on the Greek debt, and the cash buffer that the Greek government has created
Last Friday, Ta Nea made a political, moral and emotional choice. The newspaper devoted its front and back page to the victims of the deadly fire in Mati. This choice was not to the liking of certain people that are close to the ruling party.
A lawyer for the family of victims in the deadly Mati fire has attributed blame to the Attica Prefecture, the Fire Service, and municipalities
In announcing state assistance for the victims of the deadly Eastern Attica wildfire, the government offered assurances that the aid would not be subject to seizure due to debts to the state
Every time governments were in decline and their influence was reduced, they discovered or manufactured internal enemies, and so it is now
The presence of Turkish fishermen in Greek territorial waters is a daily phenomenon, but they have never gone as far as to use gunfire
The move comes at a time that Turkey continues to maintain an intransigent stance on the return of two captured Greek army officers, and continues Aegean provocations
Emboldened by the huge powers he has accrued, and with ever increasing contempt for democratic institutions, the Turkish president believes that he can use a foreign national as a negotiating weapon to exert pressure
The government is trying to turn attention to the impending bailout exit and to the upcoming cabinet reshuffle
The reaction in Evia was in no way similar to the confusion that prevailed during the first hours of the deadly fire in Eastern Attica, before it reached Mati
There is a common conviction that the deadly wildfire in Eastern Attica will have a catalytic impact on political developments
The next two milestones in Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ strategy for improving the political climate are an expected major cabinet reshuffle, and the PM’s annual political and economic policy address at the Thessaloniki International Fair
'We want to remind our Russian friends that no country in the world would tolerate attempts to a) bribe state officials, b) undermine its foreign policy, and c) interfere in its internal affairs'
Suddenly, amidst his communications shows and attacks against the opposition, the prime minister discovered scientists
The appointments of officials in responsible positions circumvent the hierarchy, until the chosen ones of every minister, general secretary, and chief or deputy chief are selected
With all that Alexis Tsipras said, combined with his rejection of early elections, he essentially wants to play for time politically
“These people who are executing contracts are not journalists. We are not in a period of journalistic flowering. What is happening in Greece under SYRIZA is unprecedented,” said Panos Skourletis
