[01] New Democracy accuses government of implementing poverty plan
Alexis Tsipras' government implements with cynicism the poverty plan
for the Greeks," main opposition New Democracy (ND)said on Tuesday
following the release of figures on banking accounts confiscations.
The press office of the main opposition accused the government of
putting additional tax pressure on the citizens resulting in 1,000
confiscations per day. "Those who promised the debt write off,
persecute the most helpless citizens. At the same time, the state does
not meet its obligations with tragic consequences for the workers and
the businesses. They use the money of over-taxation to hire party members
to the state, without meritocratic criteria," ND said in its statement.
[02] Court rules against extradition of Turkish military officers
A Greek court of appeals on Tuesday rejected the Turkish authorities'
request for the extradition of three of the eight Turkish military
officers that illegally entered Greece using a Turkish military
helicopter in July 2016, in the aftermath of the failed coup in Turkey.
The court ruled that the three officers will be not extradited and
ordered their release.
Turkey has requested the extradition of all eight officers so that they
can be tried before a Turkish court. The case of the remaining five
officers is still pending.
The Turkish military officers have sought political asylum in Greece
and are currently being held at the Olympic Village police station while
they wait for the asylum service's decision on their request.
