[01] PM confers with ND Sec't Zagoritis
The ruling New Democracy party agenda and current issues were on the
table in the meeting between Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis and ND
secretary Lefteris Zagoritis on Monday. "The Greek people in their
majority have confidence in PM Karamanlis and New Democracy, but this
does not mean that we are not vigilant," Zagoritis stated. He also
stressed that the prime minister is fully aware of the social
discontent, and speaking in Thessaloniki last weekend within the
framework of the International Trade Fair, he set the course for
faster, more effective and decisive government work. Zagoritis
expressed optimism that the climate will be reversed and reminded that
it has been a year since the last election victory for ND. On the
likelihood of early elections, Zagoritis pointed out that the country
needs hard work and results when facing the people's problems and not
early elections. "We work ceaselessly and the government work done in
the past year is included in a 36-page-long text but the main
opposition PASOK party did not care to make any comment about it," he
stressed. Caption: ANA-MPA file photo of Greek Prime Minister Costas

[02] Storms to follow heatwave
Cooler temperatures and storms, mostly in western and northern
Greece, are forecast for the rest of the week beginning on Tuesday,
while there is an increased likelihood of local showers in the
central parts of the country after an extended period of high levels
of humidity and unseasonably high temperatures across Greece.
Strong storms are expected in western Greece and in western and
central Macedonia in northern Greece, according to the National
Meteorological Service (EMY).
In the rest of the mainland and the Aegean Sea weather phenomena
will be milder and with a tendency to ease off later in the
evening.
