Alexis Tsipras

The former premier stressed the need for a common European policy that suits the contemporary transcendence of borders and that will reflect the needs and particularities of European nations.

The PM says he is mulling over which Sunday in October he might hold the general election. “I am looking for a date in October,” he said, thus indicating that he intends to serve out his whole term.

'It is the least indication of gratitude and honour toward these people from the Greek state, as they are an example to be emulated due to their self-sacrifice and their contribution to society,' said Interior Minister Alexis Haritsis.

Because the government finds itself in a sticky wicket, there is little political time left and the suffocating political conditions appear to be bringing the time of election nearer.

The Prime Minister’s Office has chosen not to respond to questions that have arisen regarding Manolis Petsitis.

Greece will stay at the tail end of eurozone states, and Greeks who are in the lower economic brackets of salaried employees will remain the poor relatives in the family.

'This person requested to be photographed with me and proceeded to do so with his cell phone, which is something that dozens of people do on a daily basis.'

The earsplitting revelations about the “friend” of a top minister and his ties to the Prime Minister’s office should have already been heard by the judiciary

In parliament yesterday, tAlexis Tsipras resorted to the familiar tactic that characterises his government, to attack the media that do not pledge allegiance to those in power.  

The Office of the Prime Minister has avoided taking a stand on the works and days of an individual who is in Mr. Tsipras’ circle and who even struck jovial poses pretending to be the PM in a photo in Maximos’ Mansion

It would be disastrous for the government to create yet another crisis within a crisis through a new round of imprudent policies.

Political normalcy requires clears rules of the game. It means that a government does not live and breathe only with elections in mind, without setting their date.

The term used by FYROM's PM implies that the Greek part of the geographical territory of Macedonia (including Thessaloniki) is unliberated and cut off from the state of FYROM

Alavanos said that the social benefits and handouts announced by Tsipras are a pittance in comparison to wage and pension cuts and the disastrous effect of over-taxation.

It would be a potentially fatal error for society to believe that the economy is back on track. In fact, there is a long road ahead.

The problem is the PM's untrammeled pledges of handouts, the en masse civil service hiring, and the salary hikes for those affiliated with the ruling party.

'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,' the ex-PM said.

Eurobank is trying to craft its own solution to the looming problem, while the Greek government is focused on a national approach to expediting the resolution of NPLs.

New Democracy is demanding explanations from the PM about why three ministers allegedly acted to benefit convicted businessman Lavrentis Lavrentiadis at the state's expense.

Mitsotakis asked Tsipras if he agrees with his education minister, Kostas Gavroglu, who said recently that the answer to campus violence is a “robust student movement”.

“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.

The government has polarised the political system. It has attempted to divide society. It has manufactured enemies. It has sent messages of intolerance.

It appears that Mr. 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.

'When police officers arrested several Rouvikonas members who broke into parliament last year, Nikos Voutsis, the Speaker, called up the citizens’ protection minister and ordered their immediate release on the grounds that ‘it was a simple act of protest.'

The government utilised the Church not in order to resolve the issue of Church-State relations, but in order to garner votes

Ieronymos profusely thanked the PM, asserting that if all is implemented as planned, he will go down in history as the leader who solved a problem that was intractable for decades.

Kammenos has publicly linked Soros “irredentist groups in Skopje” to which “he has contributed billions”, an to the 'slanderous attack' against the minister regarding the management of funds earmarked for refugee

A country’s basic law enshrines all the vital functions of politics, the economy, and social life. That means that any move requires the utmost respect and responsibility.

“When they want to sully someone’s reputation and honour, these neo-fascistoids start talking about George Soros,” Varoufakis said, noting that such attacks are anti-Semitic in nature.

The leadership of the justice ministry had pre-announced the prosecution of politicians stemming from the Novartis scandal. Another minister told a SYRIZA party organ that “some people have to be put in jail for us to win the elections.”

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 prime minister is also responsible for entrusting crucial areas of government policy to people who managed public interests based on their personal interest, with an unprecedented Napoleonic stance.

The charges of former Corruption Crimes Prosecutor Eleni Raikou reveal the breadth of raw governmental meddling in the judiciary

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

This is the first time, most likely since the establishment of the Greek state, that such heavy charges, of corruption, have been unleashed in a cabinet meeting.

Amazingly, at a Brussels news conference following the EU summit meeting, Tsipras claimed that he has not read Kotzias 16 October resignation letter, and that he will do so upon his return to Athens.
