The negotiations with the representatives of the institutions within
the framework of the first program review will start on Monday, at 17:00.
The representatives will remain in Greece until the first phase of the
negotiation is completed towards the end of the week.
[02] Refugees to travel from Mytilene to Piraeus after seamen's strike
suspended
A total of 770 refugees left Mytilene as soon as the seamen's federation
(PNO) strike ended early on Sunday. Another 680 refugees will leave
Mytilene at 20:00 and 1,500 at 21:00. Three more ferries with 800,
350 and 2,500 refugees aboard are scheduled to leave the island between
23:00 and 1:00.
Meanwhile, the refugee flows from the Turkish coasts continue unabated. A
wooden vessel with at least 200 refugees on board ran aground north of
Mytilene late on Saturday. The Greek Coast Guard and the Frontex rescued
the refugees and transferred them to the port of Mytilene.
In another incident, a body in advanced decomposition was recovered by
a fishing boat in western Lesvos.
[03] No trains and urban railway on Thursday
Trains and urban railway will not run on Thursday due to a 24hour strike
declared by GSEE (General Confederation of Greek Workers) and ADEDY
(Civil Servants Labour Union).
Moreover, all train services scheduled to depart after Wednesday midnight
will not be conducted. Metro service to the airport will not be carried
out during the strike.
