  • [01] Immigration code bill tabled in parliament

    ANA-MPA/ The draft law for the immigration code signed by all the relevant ministers was tabled in parliament on Friday.

    The date that the draft law will be discussed and the number of the sessions in the parliament plenum will be decided next week by the Conference of the Presidents of the Parliament.

    [02] SYRIZA's first priority as government will be the cancellation of the memorandum

    ANA-MPA/ All productive forces should be committed to the common struggle for development and reconstruction, main opposition SYRIZA party leader Alexis Tsipras said on Thursday at an event of tvxs website on "Productive reconstruction, the challenge for the next day."

    "The memorandum proved that the comprehensive revamp of the labour market did not improve either the quality or the quantity of production, or even the profitability of productive units and therefore it is a survival option for the productive world of the country to discuss with those who supported as of the beginning of the crisis that the neoliberal austerity and deregulation is not the solution - it is the crisis itself," Tsipras noted.

    SYRIZA leader underlined that Samaras and Venizelos' plan for Greece is to sign successive memoranda or whatever they will call them in the future, adding that their first priority as a government will be the cancellation of the memorandum and the exit from austerity.

    "It is not enough to stop the destruction, but to design the future," Tsipras said. "Our goal is to develop a new growth model that will satisfy the domestic demand, creating innovation and high added value, with decently paid and stable jobs," he added.

    Tsipras reiterated the party's committment to the national plan for economic, social and environmental reconstruction of Greece for an immediate end to austerity and stimulation of domestic demand.

    Regarding the surplus, SYRIZA leader noted that "our primary surplus will be based on higher public revenues - not public spending cuts and social disaster."

    Tsipras stressed that "SYRIZA is not a power of division but unity," adding that "it is not a threat, as some claim, but the last hope for Greece and its citizens."

    [03] National Council of Foreign Policy to convene on Friday

    ANA-MPA/ The National Council of Foreign Policy chaired by Government Vice-President and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos will convene on Friday.

    The meeting will focus on "the latest development in the Cyprus issues and the Greek interventions in relation with the implementation of the UN resolutions and of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons arsenal", according to a Foreign Ministry announcement.

    [04] Light quake jolts Cephalonia early Friday

    ANA-MPA/ A light earthquake measuring 4.6 on the Richter scale jolted on Friday at 5.38 am the island of Cephalonia.

    According to the Athens Geodynamics Institute the quake's epicentre was located at area of the recent tremors.
