[01] Papandreou wants committee on immigration policy
Main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou on Thursday called for
the establishment of a bipartisan committee to examine immigration
policy, in a letter he addressed to the Parliament president, Anna
Psarouda-Benaki.
In the wake of the unprecedented instances of violence in several
French cities, particularly in Paris' suburbs, Papandreou said Athens'
current policy is not comprehensive or modern, while it doesn't resolve
problems that foreign workers have in terms of education, work, social
protection and political rights.
Among others, he again cited his support for giving certain categories
of foreign nationals the right to vote and gain Greek citizenship.
[02] Greece sternly condemns terror attacks in Amman
Greece on Thursday sternly condemned the terrorist attacks of the
previous evening in the Jordanian capital of Amman, expressing
condolences to the families of the victims and to the Jordanian
government.
Foreign Ministry spokesman George Koumoutsakos called the terror
strikes, which targeted three upscale hotels in Amman, abominable and
cowardly.
