Over-taxation, austerity, and vote-mongering handouts trap the economy in a vicious circle which hinders growth and consequently impedes the creation of new jobs.

Alexis Tsipras attempted to write off his almost four-year record as prime minister, as if he were not personally responsible for the heavy austerity that he enforced,

'The motivations of the pre-electoral period should not lead us into adventures that are analogous to what we experienced and paid for in 2015,' Simitis stated,

There is an emerging current in the ruling party that favours early elections, even before the local and European Parliament elections in May.

Sanchez is threatening to veto the EU-UK Brexit deal if he is not offered guarantees that the negotiations regarding Gibraltar will continue on a bilateral level, between Madrid and London.

'Who are you with – the university students or the thugs? We are with the students and not with those occupying campus buildings. We stand for legality and normalcy,' Mitsotakis asked the PM.

“In any event, the salary status of those who serve the Church constitutes the responsibility and decisions of the State,” the PM's office said.

We are entering a pre-electoral period in which sensationalism, demagoguery, and mudslinging will predominate.

Mr. Tsipras now recognises in a meaaly-mouthed manner what was maintained by many – including this newspaper – that bailout memorandums cannot be abolished overnight, nor is a rupture in relations with Europe an option.

It appears that Tsipras' political reversals – or kolotoumba as the international press called it, borrowing the original Greek) are the basic characteristics of the SYRIZA leader’s political path.

For the government, the end justifies the means, and everything is placed at the disposal of the general directorate, in order to avert the impending handover of power.

'He has learned nothing from the crisis or from his lies, which he dubbed ‘self-deceptions’. He had the audacity to promise 10,000 new civil service positions to be paid for by citizens whom he has brought to their knees through taxes and insurance contributions.

The report puts Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras squarely in the picture of the group’s impunity, indicating that toleration of the group aims to resuscitate SYRIZA’s lost left-wing credentials, battered by innumerable neo-liberal austerity measures imposed by Greece’s creditors.

The ever mounting concerns that one is beginning to see in Brussels demonstrate that the government is moving in an ominous direction.

The government insists on following political recipes that led the country to bankruptcy. It insists on approaching the major problem of unemployment with the outlook of an employer.

The ex-finance minister lambasted the defence minister, describing him as an extreme-right populist, and comparing him to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini.

By serving the populist and anti-political slogan “Everyone is on the take”, the PM is erring on many levels, because when you cultivate disdain for the entire political system, it is certain that such a generalisation will one day knock on your own door.

The war of words between the two countries began when outgoing foreign minister Nikos Kotzias announced that Greece will issue a presidential decree exercising its right under international law to extend its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles in the Ionian Sea.

The leader of Plefsi Eleftherias says that Kotzias’ resignation exposes a government that conducts foreign policy in a dangerous, incoherent manner that harms Greece

The episodic 16 October cabinet meeting highlighted not only divergent strategies, but also the concealed discord and clashes that are unbefitting a coalition that determines the fate of the country.

What is of concern is what two ministers said in a cabinet meeting about the management of the state’s black budget and other funds, and that requires immediate investigation.
