has a duty to make a clear commitment to guarantee the voting rights of citizens abroad and to abandon its thoughts of having a diaspora citizen’s vote count less

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

Tsipras again defended his move to introduce direct proportional representation, as well as SYRIZA’s proposal for popular election of the President of the Republic when there is a deadlock in Parliament.

In his address to his parliamentary group yesterday, the Prime Minister demonstrated that the only policy that he serves faithfully is that of division and polarisation.

Bravado, threats, and targeted attacks can no longer shore up the morale even of SYRIZA’s narrow party base.

No distinguished member of the centre-left has responded positively to SYRIZA’s cunning invitation, which has fallen by the wayside.

Surveillance and precautionary roundups due to the political activity or protests of citizens are unacceptable.

Other countries, including Portugal, borrow at a rate of about one percent whereas Greece is obliged to pay off its 10-year bond with a payment of nearly 800mn euros.

The centre-left is backed by citizens who are not represented by conservative or populist forces, whatever banner those forces may raise to lure them.

A mysterious four-hour Athens stopover of a Venezuelan state aircraft carrying Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza on 2 March was reported by Greek SKAI television and radio today. The aircraft had taken off from Caracas and arrived in Greece without a flight plan. It had previously been denied permission to land in both Portugal and Switzerland […]

Since last August the government has operated as if it were in an electoral campaign. It has sharpened its rhetoric and suspended crucial measures and choices.

The government has no right just for the sake of keeping its hope alive to marshal means that undermine the smooth functioning of democracy.

Although the company which conducted the drilling in Cyprus’ EEZ expressed an interest in cooperating with Hellenic Petroleum on exploring Greece’s EEZ south of Crete, nothing has been done.

All opinion polls indicate that the basic worry of citizens is the economy and not which politicians will join SYRIZA in a political front after the PM’s invitation.

With the same ease that Mr. Tsipras governed with the populist right and still relies on it he now sees his coming electoral defeat and is trying to transform himself into a radical socialist.

A whopping 67 percent replied that the Prespa Agreement will greatly affect the electoral outcome.

The Guardian noted in an analysis of the phenomenon in Europe that our country is the only one in European state governed with left-wing populism.

The government agreed with creditors on high primary surpluses which it hiked even more so that it could distribute poverty benefits.

'We should go together and say in a Europe that has taken a lesson from the rise of the radical right and populist forces that such high primary surplus targets only feed into discontent.'

The PM has assured us that the new, progressive political tent with SYRIZA at its core will cover the entire political spectrum 'from Social Democracy to the popular right'.

Alternate Health Minister Pavlos Polakis, who loses no opportunity to target his opponents and their families, and who is continuing a legal battle against a deceased journalist, now is playing the slighted and targeted victim.

Extreme right-wing Chrysi Avgi places third with 8.6 percent followed by the Movement for Change (7.9 percent), and the Greek Communist Party (6.7 percent).

One cannot but agree that the manner in which certaing Pasok cadres moved to SYRIZA creates the impression that the PM is in panic .

The government's paramount consideration in all choices is political gains for the ruling party. Creating fissures in politics and society is a primary concern.

The government’s games with the constitutional revision undermined every effort to reach a parliamentary consensus
