'When you hear someone boasting about his own ethos and altruism, it is best to put your hand in your pocket to protect your wallet,” Alavanos said of SYRIZA's self-proclaimed 'moral advantage'.

SKAI, Kathimerini owner Yannis Alafouzos issued a statement yesterday in which he asserted that the government bears moral responsibility for the bomb attack on his media.

It is high time that everyone realise that targeting the media cannot be used as a tool for serving fleeting political games

US Assistant Secretary of State Wes Mitchell reiterated Washington’s firm position that as a sovereign country the Republic of Cyprus has every right to exploit its natural resources.

'As we have proven for decades, those working in SKAI’s radio station, the television station, and the website will not be muzzled and will not be daunted by any threat,' SKAI's journalists and technical staff said in a statement.

The ruling party’s objective is to establish a hegemonic political role and to prevail ideologically by undermining any opposition activity, and thus to entrench and extend its own rule indefinitely.

'This person requested to be photographed with me and proceeded to do so with his cell phone, which is something that dozens of people do on a daily basis.'

The government’s constant talk of handouts has stirred greater social demands, which combined with electoral fiscal imprudence can easily reverse what the country and its people have achieved until now.

The Prime Minister in parliament was out of control. He counter-attacked by  brandishing the front-pages of Ta Nea and To Vima, targeting owner Evangelos  Marinakis

What made the PM lose his composure on the day of such a triumph (rescinding legislated pension cuts)? More directly, why is Alexis Tsipras annoyed? 

“I received visits from Mr. Petsitis in his official capacity as the representative of the services of Maximos Mansion (the PM’s office).”

Was there a transfer of illegal campaign and other contributions in order to serve Lavrentiadis?

Mr. Tsipras has quite a few partisan media mouthpieces, but he appears not to be satisfied with that. He and his coalition partner seek to subjugate everyone, and so they slander, use the judiciary as an instrument, and convict people before trial.

The Greek PM underlined that if there any references in the FYROM Constitution that will leave room for future irredentist interpretations the agreement will not pass.

Anastasiadis also expressed consternation over open threats against Nicosia from Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova which he described as “most unfortunate”, as regards US designs in the Eastern Mediterranean,

It is in the national interest to resolve the FYROM naming issue at long last. Unfortunately for SYRIZA, the national interest does not coincide with its divisive politics.

“We must be careful because our right to self-determination and our right to use our Macedonian Language is accepted and recognised by Greece,” Zaef said

Bulgarian Defense Minister Krasimir Karakachanov demanded that Skopje make clear it has no claims as regards a “Macedonian language” in Bulgaria and acknowledge that FYROM and Bulgaria historically had a common course until 1944.

Greece from the viewpoint of international investment capital remains marginal due to the extended electoral cycle, and because the global economic cycle is receding as political dangers increase.

It is no coincidence that IMF chief Christine Lagarde felt it necessary to warn of a new era of rage due to growing inequality and to the widening chasm between rich and poor.
