Another proposal was presented yesterday by Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who spoke at the Development Bank’s event. The Prime Minister indicated that participation in the Hellenic Development Bank (HDB) programs could be subject to the allocation of part of the company’s share of the company, even a small share, among employees, which, in his words, will create a “new business culture.”

Rumors about Tsakiris

The meeting was attended by Deputy Minister of Development and Investment Yannis Tsakiris, as well as other government representatives. Why am I mentioning specifically? Because many say that at the end of his current term, he will “play” for the position of vice president at the European Investment Bank. However, for a technocratic politician, this place is not something unknown, since before entering politics he was the head of the European Investment Fund.

ambassador’s recall

The recall of the Azerbaijani ambassador to Athens was signed yesterday by the country’s President Ilham Aliyev. The recall of Anar Huseynov, a rather quiet and cautious diplomat, raised questions in Athens. The specific decision, according to diplomatic sources, is not related to any anomaly in relations between Baku and Athens, but is a purely Azerbaijani matter.

agricultural development

One of the biggest economic packages that the next government will have to manage will be in the Ministry of Rural Development. For this reason, big names are being discussed in the background to get hold of this particular portfolio.

Young men and women

Yesterday, Kyriakos Mitsotakis gave an interview to a young YouTuber, continuing the political demarcation aimed at a new generation. Among other things, the Prime Minister reiterated that there will be many more women in his next government. If you look closely at women leaders, you can see several names that can be used: Elena Rapti, Anna Efthymiou, Katerina Papakosta, Anna Mani Papadimitriou, Domna Mihailidou, and Maria Antoniou are some of those who can take public office. But there is one more whom Maximos highly values: Alexandra Sduku, who may not be an MP, but may be in the government.

Alliance Bolaris

I wrote to you yesterday about the presentation of the book by the former Executive Director of PASOK and the Government of SYRIZA, Marcos Bolaris, and the presence of Evangelos Venizelos, who, together with the Metropolitan of Nafpaktos, Mr. Hierotheos, and the former Minister, Nikos Khidakis, embarked on a kind of theological, historiographical, and geopolitical analysis. In the crowded auditorium, there were several notables such as former PASOK Deputy Ministers and MPs (Nikos Salagiannis, Giannis Sgouros, Lazaros Lotidis and others) as well as SYRIZA representatives such as former Minister of National Defense Admiral E.A. Evangelos Apostolakis and the diplomatic adviser to the chairman of the party, Vangelis Kalpadakis.
