[01] EU letter violates Greek Constitution, Alternate Justice Min says
"The letter of Valdis Dombrovskis, Pierre Moscovisi and Marianne
Thyssen does not only violate the Greek Constitution but also
the EU institutional acquis," Alternate Justice Minister Dimitris
Papangelopoulos said in a statement on Thursday.
"The three European officials essentially ask the Greek government to
intervene in the independent Greek justice in favor of Mr. Georgiou,
who has been under investigation for the possibility of having committed
crimes. It's a shame," the statement concluded.
[02] President welcomes Olympic athletes, thanks them for achievements
President Prokopis Pavlopoulos welcomed the athletes of the Rio Olympics
on Thursday in a celebratory ceremony at the Presidential Mansion.
"You are the living expression of excellence for what you
achieved. Because you achieved it with tremendous effort, that belongs
almost exclusively to you, as well as your parents and your coaches, who
must be proud of you. So thank you for your presence and the distinctions
you achieved," Pavlopoulos said.
He also thanked the athletes for setting a good example for the younger
generation on what can be achieved with work and effort.
