  • [01] PM Tsipras to address event on first year anniversary of SYRIZA governance

    ANA-MPA/Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will address on Sunday an event organised by SYRIZA under the slogan ŤOne year Left, one year battle. We proceed", on the occasion of the first year anniversary of SYRIZA's governance.

    Tsipras is expected to refer to the government political targets in the next period as well as to the event that marked the developments in Greece from 2015 until today.

    The event will be held at the Tae Kwon Do arena in Paleo Faliro at 18:30 with main speakers the prime minister and SYRIZA central Committee secretary Panagiotis Rigas

    [02] No country can totally control its borders, says FM Kotzias at meeting with German counterpart Steinmeir

    BERLIN (ANA-MPA/F. Karaviti)---The bilateral relations, the refugees issue, the crises in several regions as well as the Cyprus issue were among the issues discussed during a working dinner hosted by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeir to his Greek counterpart Nikos Kotzias on Saturday evening in Berlin.

    Kotzias rejected again the possibility of Greek and Turkish coast guards common patrols in the Aegean Sea and suggested Frontex to undertake the readmission to Turkey of those migrants not entitled asylum after their identification in Greece.

    The real problem of the refugees issue is first of all the conflict in Syria, said Kotzias noting that those counties that set a Schengen issue are mostly those that do not have problems with refugees and migrants. They speak however, as he claimed, in order to not implement EU's decisions.

    Kotzias reiterated that no country can totally control its borders and this was proved and in the case of Germany.

    [03] Gov't spokeswoman Gerovassili: 2016 will be a year of major reforms

    ANA/MPA---2016 will be a year of huge reforms as well as of the agreement for the debt relief, stated government spokeswoman Olga Gerovassili in an interview with the Sunday edition of Avghi newspaper.

    The reforms, explains Gerovassili, will refer to the public administration, the state contracts and the public procurements, the media and the growth framework, the cooperatives and the fight against smuggling.

    On the reactions regarding the social security reforms and the farmers' mobilisations, she said that "the government not only listens to the voices that take the streets but also integrates their requests wherever it is possible".

    She also sternly stated that "any discussion on a left parenthesis has ended" adding that "if some, inside and outside Greece, continue to harbour illusions it would be good to come down to reality".

    Finally, on the possibility of cooperation with the other left parties of the country, she noted the need that progressive political forces to find a common ground as it happened in Portugal and Spain.
