Evangelos Venizelos

Why PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis lashed out against Nikos Androulakis but at the same time courted [former PASOK leader] Vangelis Venizelos is clear.

Government spokesman Yannis Economou charged that SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras is trying to shift the political agenda, as he has decided that SYRIZA on 7 October will not vote to ratify the recent Greece-France strategic partnership agreement unless it is revised, which is out of the question.

Venizelos in an interview with a Thessaloniki (his former electoral district) radio station called on the government and the entire political system to urgently make decisions based on the scientific data to stem the rise in the number of COVID-19 deaths.

'Tthe continental shelf, even after it is declared and delimited, and the Exclusive Economic Zone, even after its declaration and delimitation, do not constitute “national territory” where sovereignty is recognised, but rather zones in which special sovereign rights are exercised,” Venizelos noted.

Ex-PM Samaras in his lawsuit claimed Alternate Justice Minister Dimitris Papangelopoulos conspired to implicate him in the Novartis scandal.

Angelis alleged that the minister he calls Rasputin ordered prosecutors to file charges without following criminal procedure and without collecting adequate evidence.

She has lambasted PM Alexis Tsipras’ attempted shift toward Social Democracy as yet another ruse – glaring carbetbagging that aims to further pillage her party’s electoral base.

Kaminis is a centre-left politician who started out as the Greel Ombudsman and first gained election as Mayor of Athens in 2004 with Pasok backing and was re-elected in 2009.

Deputy speaker, Tasia Christodoulopoulou said that from now on every bill will be put to a rollcall vote so all 16 independent MPs can speak.

'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
