  • [01] PM's speech to cabinet a failed apology for his policy, says New Democracy

    Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' speech to the cabinet meeting was a failed apology for his policy, said main opposition New Democracy (ND) in an announcement on Thursday. "Not a single word for the tax free deduction, not a single word for the cuts in pensions and of the citizens' income and not a single word for the harsh measures bearing his signature" said ND's announcement.

    The main opposition party reminded that Prime Minister himself repetitively stated in the past that he will not impose additional measures. "With his obsession and unefficiency and the allegedly harsh negotiation he led the country to recession. Everyone knows that this government can't promote the necessary changes and can't take the country out of the crisis", concluded ND's announcement.

    [02] Lanthimos' 'Killing of a sacred deer' to compete in Cannes Film Festival

    Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos will participate in the competitive section of the 70th Cannes Film Festival, according to the official programme announced on Thursday. Lanthimos will compete for the Palme d' Or with his film "The killing of a sacred deer".

A surgeon attempts to take in a sinister teenage boy, with disastrous results for his family. Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman and Alicia Silverstone are in the lead roles.

    In 2015 Lanthimos' Lobster was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival and won the Jury Prize. It was shown in the Special Presentations section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.The film was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 89th Academy Awards. The festival will take place between 17 and 28 May.
