[01] Greek Parliament to vote on the new development law on WednesdayThe discussion in Parliament on the new development law will be concluded late on Wednesday followed by the voting procedure.The representatives of political parties on Tuesday leveled harsh criticism over the law. Main opposition New Democracy parliamentary spokesman Nikos Dendias claimed that the new law does not constitute a development tool and does not include a development proposal. Meanwhile, an amendment on the refugee issue was tabled on Tuesday by Alternate Minister for Migration Policy Yiannis Mouzalas. New Democracy spokeswoman Anna Asimakopoulou and other party spokesmen asked for the withdrawal of the amendment on the grounds that the rules of the parliamentary procedure are not followed. [02] Brussels does not have a magic wand to solve the terrorism problem, EU Commissioner Avramopoulos saysThe recent atrocious attacks in Orlando and France remind us that terrorism is an international and local problem because the majority of the perpetrators are EU citizens, European Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos said late Tuesday in Brussels.The fact that these persons are European citizens, who have been radicalised and turned against their fellow citizens and our values within the EU indicates the pathogenies of the social structures of our societies and the imperative need to strengthen their cohesion, said Avramopoulos adding that "our anwers to radicalisation and the recruitment of terrorists must be holistic". The issue of those terrorists that return to Europe from conflict areas is alarming and we will propose the review of the Shenghen Information System (SIS) as well as systematic controls at the external borders for whoever enters or leaves, either European citizen or not. Dealing with radicalisation is not simple or easy. Brussels does not have a magic wand that will solve the problem nor can we work isolated at local or national level. The effective way of dealing with radicalisation will come through a combination of actions and cooperations. Athens News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
