Constant incidents in the Aegean may trigger the involvement of other
Balkan countries, the secretary general of the communist KKE party
Dimitris Koutsoumbas warned in an interview with Realnews newspaper.
And thus may "lead to a more generalized military confrontation in the
Aegean, Thrace, our northern borders," he explained.

reduction of the tax free threshold that will deprive us of a monthly
pension or salary is not offset," he stressed and accused the deputies
