The mobilization of the Archdiocese of America took place immediately after the fire at the Valuklis hospital. As Mr. Elpidophoros himself informed the Ecumenical Patriarch yesterday, the Archdiocese has collected an amount of 350,000 dollars, which will be immediately used to restore losses, as well as “help our elderly and sick brothers.” And there will be a sequel.

arm wrestler

There is currently an interesting backstage brawl between Alexis Tsipras and Nikos Androulakis. The leader of the official opposition, seeing that the surveillance case gives a lot of “points” to the chairman of PASOK-KINAL, at a critical moment before the parliamentary elections, is frantically looking for ways to present himself as the main actor of the wider “anti-right” wing, especially in parliament.

In the spotlight

The request of the President of PASOK for the creation of a commission of inquiry at the level of political impressions, in fact, “deprived” the corresponding initiative from SYRIZA. At the same time, the government’s decision to announce a new extraordinary meeting of the Committee on Institutions or the possibility of a personal briefing by the new head of the PASOK President of PASOK also closed this path of institutional reaction for the President of SYRIZA. Following them, looking for a way to find him in the center, Al. Tsipras applied for an early debate in the plenary.

Initiate Contacts

Giannis Bratakos really got into the skin of the role from his first hours at Maximos. Grigoris Dimitriadis was constantly in open contact with the party and the parliamentary group, and the new General Secretary of the Prime Minister continued where his predecessor had left off. He has already begun contacts with the executive branch and parliamentarians. Anna Karamanli was one of the first to find the office of Herodos Atticus with a large veranda.

Absence

From an informal briefing by SYRIZA, the best date for the pre-day debate in Parliament is 25 August. In PASOK, Tsipras’s initiative does not seem to be encouraged, as they see that he wants to take advantage of the absence of Nikos Androulakis – he is represented in parliament by Mr. Katrinis – and show himself as the leader of the opposition front against the government.

Birthdays

KKE General Secretary Dimitris Koutsoubas turns 67 today and will be celebrating (where else?) at his beloved Theologos in Phthiotida prefecture, in the company of his old and close friends. Happy birthday also from a column that has done enough work with the Chinese and Vietnamese communist parties in recent days. He could not ignore the domestic Communist Party and its leader.
