Kyriakos Mitsotakis delivered a revealing report on Russian-Turkish relations yesterday at a meeting of the leaders of the European People’s Party, shortly before his trip to the Council of Europe. The prime minister again compared Turkey’s behavior with Russia, accusing Ankara of circumventing sanctions imposed by the EU. in Moscow, and this is clearly seen in the volume of their bilateral trade. But he did not stop there, but continued to make a prediction: if there are elections in which Putin is likely to interfere, he will be in Turkey to support Erdogan.

Discussions… of the shelter

What did Nikos Dendias and his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba do during the approximately two hours they spent in the hideout of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? In addition to the memorandum of understanding signed there between the Greek and Ukrainian Foreign Ministries in the field of diplomatic education, the two politicians had enough time for a casual conversation. So the conversation turned to their dogs, since they both have three. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister even mentioned to Dendias that one of them calls him “Maria” as he found him in Mariupol, adding that the crime that is happening in Ukraine also has to do with animals.

Eastern and Eastern Attica

For Voridis, he told his interlocutors, it all comes down to voting results. Nothing else matters. With this as my motivation, I can interpret the “proposal” he made by bringing up for public debate the case of chemical castration of persons accused of sexual crimes against minors. This is something that can never be done in a Western country, only in the East, but it also brings votes in the East, where the minister is elected as a member of parliament.

Fear of the Socialists

European socialists see cooperative governments between centre-right and far-right parties, fearing that Italy’s “model” might prevail in other countries as well. In fact, at a recent conference of the European Socialist Party in Brussels, I was told that the wells were dominated by a discussion about possible cooperation in Spain between the People’s Party and VOX.
