[01] ND leader: Tsipras is incorrigible and must leave now

"Today we all know the conclusion of Mr. Tsipras performance that started on Saturday," said Mitsotakis noting that the IMF remains in the programme and, as he claims, stronger than before along with its very often excessive demands.

Mitsotakis said that unfortunately Greece's position and credibility were further weakened and that new very painful measures for all the citizens are on the way. He referred to a tax shock planned by the government which will strangle the economy and will dramatically worsen the crisis in parallel with the uncontrolled, as he said, condition in the refugees crisis that leads the country to suffocation.

"At this crucial point, seriousness, truth, determination, credibility inside and outside the country is necessary. This government does not offer anything of those. Mr. Tsipras is incorrigible. He damages the country. Nobody expects nothing from him and that's why he must leave right now."

[02] Sit-in protest at Piraeus port; migrants demand open borders

Migrants and refugees are staging a sit-in protest after the end of their briefing by the involved ministries secretary generals.

The refugees are very annoyed and ask for the borders to open. "We are also humans and the borders must open," said and underlined that the conditions in many hosting facilities are not good.

Port authorities attempted to arrest one person which brought tension between migrants and authorities. One migrant threatened the officers that he will hit them with an infant.

The condition has calmed down, however, the sit-in protest continues.
