Businessmen and bankers believe that even in these problematic conditions Mitsotakis and a New Democracy government have the opportunity to present a contemporary and effective growth model.

Tsipras' visit to Hagia Sophia had an additional symbolic charge as there have been calls of late from Turkish Islamists for the museum to re-operate as a Mosque

Ankara made clear that the agenda would include issues which for Greek diplomacy have been steadfastly non-negotiable.

Erdogan made clear his persistence in demanding the extradition of eight Turkish military officers who have been granted asylum in Greece.

A dour-faced PM explained that he could not extradite eight Turkish officers Erdogan wants because the Greek judiciary ruled against their extradition.

Erdogan’s spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, underlined yesterday that Ankara will not tolerate de facto situations in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean.

The eight are accused of participating in the coup and working with the network of Turkish cleric Fetullah Gulen.

Those who are today engaging in machinations to secure their handicapped parliamentary majority believed that in democracy everything can happen and be justified.

The move is a bid to end the political uncertainty of whether the government has the constitutionally mandated parliamentary on each and every vote.

Kammenos saw the shift to conservatism triggered by the backlash on the Macedonia naming issue and counted on a political rebirth.

'Mr. Tsipras, who characterised Maduro’s power as ‘a model that should be emulated in Europe’, is offending Greece by insisting even now on supporting him. '

Will the government be prudent in handing out benefits or will it open the state coffers and along with them a Pandora’s Box?

The extreme right benefited from the radicalisation stirred by the national issue in the broader right wing.

For those under the age of 25 there was a sub-minum wage of 510 euros a month which was abolished today by the cabinet.

Greece's self-proclaimed left-wing government is aligning itself with the right-wing and far right government of Austria and the populist-extreme right coalition that is governing Italy.

Isolated from the Greek people, burdened with politico-ideological fixations, and with a limited understanding of the contemporary world, Mr. Tsipras cannot keep up with international trends.

The agreement re-names the country Republic of North Macedonia and aims to settle issues of language, culture, and identity.

'You accuse us of ceding [the status of] a people. Mr. Mitsotakis, you cannot cede something that you do not have. We did not have a Macedonian language.'

It is the government above all which should know that a lack of information in the parliamentary process constitutes a lack of democracy.
