  • [01] PM Tsipras: Public administration is the country's 'huge patient'

    "I would say it is an honour and joy that this event coincides with the launch of a huge reform initiative that the government assumes with the view to meeting a commitment which the citizens and the public administration officers have heard so many times but unfortunately has never come into effect," stated Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in his greeting speech on Thursday at an event held for the 30-year anniversary of the operation of the National Center of Public Administration.

    Tsipras called the public administration the country's "very ill patient" noting that "we must collectively find the way to cure it and to heal the pathogenies. But, in order to succeed, we must have a target, a plan and a vision."

    He referred to the debate on "depoliticisation" of the public administration noting that "it is the wrong word". What is really needed is to abolish favouritism and collusion, he stated.

    [02] ECB lowers borrowing ceiling for Greek banks

    European Central Bank further lowered the borrowing ceiling for Greek banks through the Emergency Liquidity Assistance mechanism (ELA) to 72 billion euros, the Bank of Greece said on Thursday.

    The central bank, in an announcement, said that ECB's board approved Bank of Greece's request to lower the borrowing ceiling by 3.8 billion euros until Thursday, 21 January.

    [03] Police waiting body of pensioner to defrost to conduct an autopsy

    The coroner has to wait for the body of the pensioner found in a freezer to defrost in order to conduct an autopsy that will reveal the causes of the death and will shed light on the case.

    The victim was discovered on Tuesday bound hands and feet with his mouth sealed with a tape and covered with a sheet in a freezer in an appartment at the Athens district of Kallithea by a bailiff who went to hand over a foreclosure warrant to a 45-year-old Bulgarian woman that was living and had a child with the victim.

    According to the coroner, the 65-year-old pensioner seaman's body was is the freezer for approximately one year.

    Police's investigation focuses not only on the Bulgarian woman but also on her 27-year old son that she had from her first marriage and Interpol has been accordingly informed.
