A Country on Fire, Literally

This past week, Greece has been battling severe wildfires across multiple regions.

The frequent fires and changing weather patterns underscore the severe impact of climate change on our beloved country. Despite the government's efforts, including using emergency SMS alerts and firefighting resources, the situation remains dire.

Incident at Athens Airport

In a troubling incident, former minister Lefteris Avgenakis was caught on CCTV slapping an airport employee after missing his flight. This event has sparked outrage and led to his expulsion from the ND Parliamentary Group, though he remains an MP. The incident highlights ongoing issues of accountability and misuse of power within our political system.

Greece and Nuclear Energy

During the recent Economist Government Roundtable, Prime Minister Mitsotakis appeared to support the development of nuclear energy in Greece, a significant shift from his previous stance. While government sources claim no current plans for nuclear projects, the debate on this topic continues amidst concerns about Greece's seismic activity and safety.
