[01] No more pretexts for refusing formation of NCRTV board, says
government spox
There are no more excuses for refusing to agree to the formation of
the new board of the country's TV regulator, government spokeswoman
Olga Gerovasili said in a tweet on Thursday, after parliament approved
amendments to the original TV licensing law, granting more powers to
National Council for Radio and Television.
"There are no more pretexts for not forming the National Council for
Radio and Television. On Monday, we'll know. We must complete this step
of consensus," Gerovasili tweeted.
[02] Police evacuates mosque construction site
A police operation was launched early on Friday to evacuate the site
in Votanikos occupied by 15 people in protest against the construction
of a mosque.
The 15 persons have been detained. Police forces will now be in the site
24 hours a day.
