With the presence of European Commission Vice President Margaritis Schinas at yesterday’s event in Zappeio, the Prime Minister decided to send a message to Europe about the Evros fence. Thus, Mr. Mitsotakis stressed that Greece defends its borders, to which he repeatedly explained that “they are European.” And in the same place he added that “the time has come for Europe to pay for the fence that we will build on Euros.”

Reports of Karamanly, Samara

In today’s “K” you can read a detailed report for the support given by Kostas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras to the government of New Democracy and Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the run-up to the elections. However, the two former prime ministers also made extensive reference to national issues that cannot be ignored. Apart from their criticism of today’s Europe, I highlight their references to the Prespas of the Aegean. Karamanlis, on the other hand, said that “no self-respecting country questions its territorial integrity” and “this must be understood by Turkey, as well as allies and partners who (…) are hatching plans to divide the Aegean.” For his part, Antonis Samaras noted that “some people seem to be preparing the ‘Prespas of the Aegean'”, adding that “they will not pass.”

Victory… unvaccinated

More and more reports in recent days have been covering the Nike party, an ultra-conservative formation led by Dimitris Natsios, a teacher, theologian and writer based in Thessaloniki. Many see a conspiracy scenario behind the projection: that there is a central finger to cut votes off the Greek decision. However, the reality is that this is a work whose positions “giggle”. By the way, a source from the north told me that the head is an ardent supporter of Orthodoxy and therefore also opposes vaccinations, which have found fertile ground in Northern Greece.

1st Thessaloniki

Now I will take you to SYRIZA as another interesting battle is the battle in Thessaloniki between Katerina Notopoulos and Rania Traskia. Here one can also see another conflict between the deep SYRIZA and the more centrist cadres, although Frascia never had a party identity.
