  • [01] Vatican spokesman hopes the hierarchs' visit to Lesvos will awaken consciences

    ROME (ANA-MPA/ Th. Andreadis)---The Pope, the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Archbishop of Athens, are not political authorities, but religious and moral authorities acting in this field. But in so doing, they address dynamically to the sense of responsibility of all, depending on the specific responsibilities of each, Vatican spokesman father Federico Lombardi said in an exclusive interview to ANA-MPA.

    "Therefore they address to the responsibility of politicians. They cannot offer specific, 'technical solutions' but they can propose the necessary principles and refer to indispensable needs, suggesting guidelines that lead to meaningful consequences," he underlined.

    A few hours before Pontiff's visit to Lesvos, father Lombardi referred to the close, brotherly relationship between Pope Francis and the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.

    [02] Agreement between Greece and its European lenders possible, says Dombrovskis

    BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA/ M.Spinthourakis)---An agreement between Greece and its lenders is possible, European Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said on Friday.

    In statements to Politico, he said that the Greek issue will be discussed on the sidelines of the IMF's Spring Meeting in Washington, noting that progress has been achieved in many sectors including mid-term fiscal targets, the taxation of individuals, tax collection and the pensions issue.

    However, he admitted that there are differences between IMF and EU's forecasts on Greek estimated fiscal gap in 2018 which as he said, can be easily bridged.
