  • [01] Greece has made progress in modernizing its economy, ESM chief Regling says

    The disbursement of the 7.5 billion euro loan tranche to Greece is an important moment both for the country and for Europe, the general manager of ESM Klaus Regling said at the Economist Conference in Athens.

    "It is a recognition of the progress made by Greece to modernize its economy. It also shows that Europe will not leave Greece alone. Greece is a member of the European family," Regling said adding that Europe will continue to show, if necessary, economic solidarity towards Greece. The remaining 2.8 billion euros, he said, will be given when Greece meets further prior actions and repays some of its overdue obligations.

    The head of the ESM noted that the eurozone wants to continue to support Greece's efforts with further measures to reduce its debt.

    [02] Fraport: We send a strong to the international markets that Greece is looking to the future

    "Fraport's investment in Greece is a strong vote of confidence of all parties involved, namely, the Greek state, the Hellenic Asset Development Fund (TAIPED) and Fraport Greece," its chairman Stefan Schulte said in an interview with ANA-MPA.

    Schulte has been invited to Greece by the Greek-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

    The chairman of Fraport also said that he believed "in the potential and successful development of Greece, especially in the tourism industry. The economic measures are certainly correct, however difficult they may be. But it is also very important to have investments. Only investments can create new jobs and economic recovery. I hope, of course, that the infrastructure will send a strong signal to international markets that Greece is looking to the future creating a new, dynamic investment environment for the country and its people."

    Schulte stated that there will be no layoffs, instead there will be new hirings: "Our goal for the Greek regional airports is growth. Therefore, we will need more staff, we want to recruit as many employees as possible at Fraport Greece," he said.

    On the benefits for Greece, the chairman of Fraport said: "The Greek tourism industry will benefit from the promotion of cities and regions with airports as travel destinations, through the global network of Fraport. The aim is to increase passenger traffic and to extend the tourist season."

    The full interview is available in Greek at ANA-MPA's website.

    [03] Missing German tourist located at remote area of Tsepelovo

    A German tourist that was missing from Monday was located a few while ago in a remote area of Tsepelovo, Zagorohoria.

    The rescue team has eye contact with the 36-year-old German.

    Earlier a sheperd found the German at a long distance from Vradeto village and called the police.

    The 36-year-old tourist went trekking on the mountainous area of Vradeto, Zagorohoria, on Monday morning.

    The tourist stayed at Papigo village with a friend who worried when the tourist did not return and and went to police.

    [04] Ecumenical Patriarch says he respects the regime of the Metropolises of the New Lands

    Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Vartholomeos) reassured that he totally respects the existing church regime of the Metropolises of the so-called New Lands in Greece and has no intention of challenging or change the existing status, addressing on Wednesday the Holy and Great Synod the Orthodox Church held on Crete.

    [05] Garry Kasparov gives handicap chess game in Thessaloniki

    Garry Kasparov, the former chess world champion, gave a unique handicap chess game against four chess players on Tuesday evening at Thessaloniki City Hall.

    A large number of people gathered at the City Hall and patiently waited for Kasparov whose flight arrived with delay and the organisers considered wise the grand maitre to take a rest due to the very high temperatures in Thessaloniki. Kasparov appeared 2.5 hours later and played against the juniors world champion Stavroula Tsolakidou, the juniors European champion Anastassia Avramidou and Katerina Pasoglou and Evangelia Mastrakouli, both champions in Thessaloniki.

    The event was organised by the Chess Union of Thessaloniki and Thessaloniki municipality.
