[01] Mitsotakis to ONNED: 'Greece will be changed by your generation'

"The country does not need any more idle 'rebels' with hoods and petrol bombs, or no-go areas of lawlessness," he said, stressing that Greece will not be changed by arrogant peddlers of theories "that have failed everywhere in the world".

"Greece will be changed by your generation. By the young people in universities, technological schools, trade schools. By those who dare to start their own enterprises, in spite of the unfavourable environment. By the young people that work in offices, garages, fields and construction sites. By every young person that takes on responsibilities, offers and creates," he said.

He urged young people from all walks of life to overcome their distaste of politics, which he said had been discredited in their eyes, and to swell the ranks of ONNED, participating in its new start.

Mitsotakis slammed Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras as "the greatest enemy of youth" Greek politics had ever seen. "He is the youngest prime minister but has the oldest way of thinking," Mitsotakis said.

"Every day that he stays on clinging to power, opportunities for the younger generation are lost. Every day that he delays in implementing the third Memorandum, the economy's recovery is delayed. Every day the basic pillars of our democracy are corroded. Without justice, independent authorities, powerful institutions, a competitive education system, no young person can prosper, no young person can have prospects, unless they are a state-supported SYRIZA appointee" he said.

No government can survive with the country's youth ranged against it but this political change must not long delay since Greece cannot afford to wait, Mitsotakis added.

"Young people don't wait. The enemy of youth, Mr. Tsipras and his aging government must go the soonest possible. As long as they stay, they keep creative Greece in isolation and its young people marginalised," he said.

Mitsotakis will visit the semi-autonomous monastic community in Mount Athos next Thursday.

The same sources expressed their satisfaction for the development and the fact that the tender is proceeding according to the agreement made with the institutions, which foresees that the State will ultimately hold directly or indirectly 51 percent of ADMIE. The bids will be opened in the next few days.

A meeting planned for tonight between Energy Minister Panos Skourletis and the institutions was postponed for next week.

The pack contains specially designed educational printed material, toys and other surprises, which allow children to combine learning and play while visiting the museum.

As an added bonus, there is free entrance to the museum and all its galleries - including the temporary exhibition "Dodona: The Oracle of Sounds" - on October 28, when Greeks celebrate 'OXI' day and Greek resistance to the Axis forces in WWII.

As on every other Friday, there will be gallery talks in Greek and English by archaeologists-hosts presenting specific topics, available on a first-come, first-served basis. These include a presentation on "Dodona: The Oracle of Sounds" (at 13:00 in Greece and 11:00 in English) and "A walk around the Museum with an archaeologist" (at 18:00 in English and 20:00 in Greek).

The museum restaurant will remain open until midnight, with music by well-known Athenian jazz musicians after 20:00.
