[01] IMF positions are difficult to find grounds in the EU social model,
Labour Min Katrougalos says
Neither the tax issue nor the social security issue can open again
because they were part of the first programme review," Labour Minister
Giorgos Katrougalos on Thursday said in an interview with Praktorio
104.9 FM.
"The fact that these two issues closed in a way that does not satisfy
the IMF is a clear indication that they closed in the best possible way
for the Greek people," Katrougalos said and added: "The IMF's positions
are difficult to find grounds in the European social model. We are not
willing to agree with any agreement that does not protect the rights of
the employees and the pensioners."
[02] No Greeks so far among the injured people in Italy
ROME (ANA-MPA/T. Andreadis-Syngelakis) - "Until now it does not appear
to be Greek citizens among the injured people of Wednesday's earthquake
in Italy," the Greek embassy in Italy posted on Facebook.
The embassy also informed that Greeks in affected areas that need to
travel can do so with a simple statement from the police authorities of
their region.
