  • [01] The government will exhaust its four-year term, PM Tsipras tells Parliament

    "The government will exhaust its four-year term," Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in Parliament late on Tuesday and urged main opposition New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis to forget the possibility of early elections.

    Tsipras was speaking at an off-the-agenda debate on justice issues in Parliament.

    The prime minister also announced that the parliamentary group of SYRIZA will submit a proposal over the next days for setting up an investigation committee that will look into the loan agreements of banks with parties and media adding that the findings are expected late May.

    Tsipras pledged to give an end to the law on ministers' responsibility with the revision of the constitution. As he said, ministers should be treated like any citizen.

    Moreover, he accused New Democracy of trying to give the impression that the government has failed and the economy has collapsed and cited the OECD report which sees the recovery of the Greek economy in the second half of 2016.

    [02] President Pavlopoulos meets Israeli counterpart Rivlin

    "Europe needs to address the refugee issue in terms of humanity," Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos on Wednesday said at a meeting with his Israeli counterpart Reuven Rivlin at the presidential mansion in Jerusalem.

    "Europe must never again become a 'dark continent' and it must fight against any kind of xenophobia and racism, including anti-Semitism," noted the President.

    Pavlopoulos underlined that the Middle East is experiencing hard times because of the crises, the war, violent extremism and terrorism. "Europe and the entire civilized world are determined to crack down on terrorism, treating the jihadist terrorists as servants of a new kind of barbarism. But the refugee issue needs to be treated in terms of humanity," he stated.
