Greek Government

Greece is also a country of creativity, innovation, and productivity, of a younger generation that is champing at the bit and which can spread its wings and fly if only it is given the right opportunities.

The proposed changes will loosen requirements for the release of prisoners serving multiple life sentences, such as N17 terrorists

The Eurogroup’s decision can only have a negative impact on markets at a time when the country is testing its endurance in borrowing from them.

From elected officials at the top of the administrative pyramid down to the base there is something clearly rotten in the entire structure of the state.

Since its days in the opposition, SYRIZA confronted the economy with the sole objective of reaping partisan benefits.

The government's narrative about a return to normalcy and its handouts are not persuading voters as the vast majority have already made their decisions.

There is a double minefield on Greece’s path. The economy remains shackled by austerity policies and the danger of fiscal derailment is ever-present.

The country is at risk of not receiving the profits – amounting to approximately one billion euros - on Greek bonds held by the European Central Bank.

A government can either succeed or fail in its mission. However, it has no right to transform public life into a cesspool.

With the populist rhetoric that guided its thoughts and actions, the government engaged in a number of such clashes with reality, and reality won.

'What Mr. Dragasakis said in the context of parliamentary debate was skewed in order to stir a sensation,” said Tzanakopoulos.

SYRIZA and the Independent Greeks party experienced their joint rule as a romance. Now, we are witnessing a rupture the characteristics of which transcend politics.

The EPP's Manfred Weber in Athens lionised main opposition New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis and indirectly but clearly dismissed Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras as a populist who cannot bring growth.

Creditors also bear responsibility as they turned a blind eye to the debt problem and believed that austerity could remedy the ills of a country with the peculiarities of Greece.

Might there be something else beyond their ideological kinship that links SYRIZA to the Maduros regime?

How will the labour market absorb the wage hike? One would hope it will not be by reducing the number of jobs.

The hike comes into effect in February, and 24 benefits linked to the minimum wage will also increase by extension.

The Tsipras government along with those of Austria and Italy are the only ones who have lent support to the Maduro regime.

The ruling party revealed to MPs for the first time that the amendments to the Constitution of FYROM will come into effect only after the Greek Parliament ratifies the protocol on FYROM’s admission to Nato.

Within the next 30 days Greece’s creditors or “institutions”, which are currently in Athens to conduct an evaluation, expect the government to have met 16 prior commitments.

If the police are unable to isolate a small number of troublemakers, either they are incompetent or they are executing instructions unrelated to maintaining order issued by their superiors.

Access to the markets is not prohibitive for normal economies. No normal economy has been saddled with the straight-jacket of huge primary surpluses.

In his speech, Potami MP Yorgos Amyras in parliament declared “You will find the single vote needed in tonight’s confidence vote, but you willl not find 151 votes [to ratify] the Prespa Agreement.”

In Germany, which continued to move not only as a locomotive but as a high-speed train when the rest of the Eurozone was trailing, there are more and more voices supporting an exit from the EU, or Dexit.

Economic analysts and major financial players are underlining that political uncertainty can have an exceptionally negative impact on the course of the economy.

The report noted that the ratification vote on the Greece-FYROM Prespa naming agreement is what triggered the ruling coalition’s breakup.

The PM engaged in petty partisan bargaining with his former coalition partner in the hope of ensuring his own interests.

Kammenos has been replaced by Admiral Evangelos Apostolakis, until now Greece’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Kammenos has been replaced as defence minister by Admiral Evangelos Apostolakis, until now Greece’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The climate that the PM and his junior coalition partner have cultivated is a far cry from political stability.

Yesterday it became clear that the prime minister has definitively lost the ability to call the shots with inititiatives on the political stage.

At a crucial meeting on 11 January, junior coalition partner Panos Kammenos will make clear whether he and his party will continue to be part of the government’s parliamentary majority

'The dark face of the Tsipras administration casts a heavy shadow on our democracy because when the judiciary is used as a tool for political prosecution democracy is imperiled'.

The SYRIZA-Independent Greeks government had raised the clean hands banner in order to use it against its political opponents, as it turns out.

The Independent Greeks leader and the rest of the protagonists in the government’s drama forget that governments are elected to rule, not to preoccupy themselves with power plays.
