[01] ND interim leader Meimarakis steps down from party's helm,
appoints VP
Main opposition New Democracy (ND) interim leader Vangelis Meimarakis
resigned from his position on Tuesday, adding that he appointed the
secretary of the party's parliamentary group, Yiannis Plakiotakis,
as vice president.
Meimarakis had announced he would step down on Monday if his three
fellow-candidates for the party leadership resigned from their party
posts as well.
"All my life I served ND's principles and the party's unity. As I'm
being attacked in a vulgar and immoral manner, and because a lot of
tension has been created and New Democracy voters are very upset, I
appointed Plakiotakis as VP and I hand over the interim leadership to
defuse the situation," he said, adding that he will continue in the race
to be re-elected.
[02] 'Coral Reef' to return to Athens Planetarium for two months, by
popular demand
The dome film 'Coral Reef' is to return to Athens' Digital Planetarium
for two months following multiple requests by audience members, the
Eugenides Foundation announced on Tuesday.
The new dome film "takes a dive" in the beautiful blue waters of coral
reefs, transporting audiences to the wonders of the ocean deeps and,
alongside famous scientists, takes them on a voyage of exploration of
rare underwater natural phenomena of the Earth, revealing images of
incredible beauty.
The shows will start with two screenings free of charge next Monday
evening, at 18:30 and 19:30, respectively. They will then be incorporated
into the planetarium's regular programme. The film is suitable for
children aged nine years and over. Parallel to the film screenings,
the Eugenides Foundation has also set up an exhibition on freediving
in Greece.
