'The Greek budget this year is slightly better than expected. The Greek government can use that budget. If they change their policies, they must first discuss them with European institutions. They [Greece] have not yet been 100 percent unloosened,'

It is obvious that the final decision on pension cuts, which will be made in early December, will have a political aspect, as the climate in Europe, and especially in Germany after October’s elections in Bavaria, will be taken into account.

In a boost for the government, Eurogroup chief Mario Centeno said today that the pension cuts are not a structural reform [as the IMF maintains], but rather a revenue-raising measure.

'Even though many people would have liked to see a higher turnout, I am pleased that the overwhelming majority of those who did make use of their democratic right voted for the agreement with Greece,' Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said.

'Those who participate are those who decide and shape the result,' Zaev said, noting that he will bring the matter before parliament.

'Yesterday’s referendum in FYROM was completed with an overwhelming majority voting ‘Yes’, which is a positive development on the path toward ratifying and putting into effect the Prespa Agreement,' Tzanakopoulos noted.

Based on that data, the cyclone is expected to reach the southern coast of the Peloponnese between 15:00 and 18:00 on Saturday.

This is absolute absurdity, because what Mr. Georgiou is accused of is technically pumping up the deficit in order for Greece to be subjected to a bailout memorandum.

The aim of Ivanov and the opposition is to delegitimise the referendum by ensuring a very low turnout.

EU officials have repeatedly denounced the prosecution of Georgiou, which they view as shameful harassment, arguing that he just did his job properly.

'Mr. Tsipras uneasily watches the Skopjans celebrating about the ‘Macedonian’ language and the ‘Macedonian nationality’ that he handed over to them,' said the main opposition leader.

Moody’s decision is based on the important obstacles on the path toward sustainable development, the country’s exceptionally strict fiscal targets, and the weaknesses of the banking system.
