[01] Mitsotakis at 'Posidonia': ND has always supported the shipping
sector
New Democracy has traditionally favoured the development of the shipping
sector and the people employed in it, party leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis
said on Monday during a speech at the opening of international shipping
show "Posidonia 2016" in Athens.
"This is why we are against anyone who tries to hurt its competitiveness,
the Greek flag on the ships and seamanship," Mitsotakis said.
"The 'Posidonia' show, which is an institution of international standing,
certifies that Greece, as a traditional maritime power, can and must
continue to contribute in the national but also European economy," he
added and hailed the sector's contribution in the country's GDP and its
employment of thousands of people.
[02] Pink Martini to bring their retro-pop rythms in Athens on July 5
American lounge-jazz band Pink Martini, a favourite of the Greek public,
returns to Athens on July 5 (Tuesday) to play some of their most popular
songs and rhythms for one concert in Technopolis.
"We're like musical archaeologists who retrieve melodies and rhythms
from different parts of the world and create a kind of modern music,"
the charismatic pianist and founder of the band, Thomas Lauderdale,
said ahead of the concert.
The group's exceptional musicians combine retro and jazz motifs with
pop rhythms and elements from different culture which, along with the
voice of lead singer Storm Large produce an unforgettable experience.
