We seek out or manufacture enemies instead of forging a fundamental consensus so as to escape the vicious circle into which the country has fallen.

Essentially, Tzanakopoulos indirectly acknowledged the ties between Digital Policy Minister Nikos Pappas and Cypriot lawyer Artemiou (see photo) but explained that they have nothing to do with the PM’s office or government business.

The education minister is not merely copying the practices of the past. He is inaugurating a new type of old party politics that does not bode well for Greece’s problematic education system.

As time passes, the general consensus is that government-backed candidates will be trounced and in most cases will not make it into the second round.

For whom was Petsitis working? For whose sake was he enriching himself? For the sake of this man the country’s first left-wing government destroyed the last shred of its self-declared “moral advantage”.

Petsitis was the inseparable comrade of Digital Policy Minister Nikos Pappas (considered by many to be PM Alexis Tsipras’ alter-ego) who today is feverishly distancing himself from his old schoolmate,

Tirana is giving the Greeks’ properties to the Albanian Ministry of Tourism for commercial development, based on the 21 November, 2018 Decision 708 of the Council of Ministers.

Digital Policy Minister Nikos Pappas, Tsipras' right-hand-man, had repeatedly tried to dissociate Petsitis’ access to the PM’s office from the lawyers for Lavrentiadis’ offshore companies,

SYRIZA ignored the fundamental political principle that bridges are built through agreement on a political programme and not by political pillaging.

A segment of the Greek press and of the opposition has suggested that Petsitis was SYRIZA’s “cashier” or bag man, interceding between the government and powerful business interests.

'The agreement provides for the creation of a task force that will be called upon to thrash out these issues. We have some people in Greek Macedonia who do not support the Prespa Agreement but who for many years traded here [in North Macedonia]. They are hypocrites,” Tsipras declared.

The Guardian’s report also referred to the widespread popular disapproval of the accord in both countries and that the two leaders are touting the trade and other benefits that they say will result from the normalisation of the two countries’ relations.

On the crucial economic front, Zaev said that North Macedonia will have enormous benefits from the implementation of the Prespa Accord.

The PM is expected to raise the issue of North Macedonian officials violating the terms of the Prespa Accord, including in the EU, but trade and investment will dominate.

The electoral cycle could be expedited if the Prime Minister and his campaign team believe that could produce a manageable defeat.

Due to opposition for the Prespa Accord, MPs who represent districts north of Larisa are unable to meet citizens as they are treated either with indifference or contempt.

The Movement for Change has the historical responsibility to bolster its part of the political spectrum. It also has a duty to block the predominance of the populist Left which SYRIZA expressed.

Essentially, the PM’s team is entertaining the idea of small, manageable clashes with creditors that can be easily resolved with a minor governmental retreat.

Dimitris Tzanakopoulos said that lack of protection from foreclosure was a strategic choice of both New Democracy and Pasok because 'in the world of corrupt vested interests which they defend, the weak and vulnerable are not entitled to protection'.

Who is forcing SYRIZA today to place on its European Parliament ticket a person whose name is inextricably tied with vested interests and state-funded entrepreneurship?

As the painful negotiation with creditors on home foreclosure protection was going on, a minister who seems to ignore the realities came out and spoke of handing out a 250-euro Easter bonus

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Press Agency cited unnamed sources which denied that the incident occurred and that the Turkish pilots were just doing their job.

The former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff describes the government as a bunch of neo-communists with no respect for Greece's national interests.

Citizens, businessmen, and the work force are not offered solutions to their problems because the government adopts opportunistic policies.

The government rejected needed reforms such as amending Article 16 of the Constitution which bans private (even non-profit) universities.
