Let me tell you that whatever is said about ministers the next day, it is better not to take it at face value. My own information says that the next cabinet, if Kyriakos Mitsotakis achieves independence, will be completely new, to the extent that no one currently imagines. However, I can tell you with confidence that he will give great importance to the ministries of education and health, and there will be big surprises.

Apocalyptic invitations

Anyone who carefully examines Tayyip Erdogan’s invitations to last Saturday’s swearing-in ceremony in Ankara can draw important conclusions about where the Turkish president is heading. Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan were there. However, the West was also present, with its leading representatives such as NATO Mr. Jens Stoltenberg, as well as Vice President of the Social Dialogue Commission Valdis Dombrovskis. It is clear that Erdogan does not want to cut bridges with the West, investing in relations with neighboring countries, which until recently were not good at all.

Not even a glance

On the Greek side, the official foreign minister, Ambassador Vassilis Kaskarelis, took over the official representation, and the presence of Dimitris Avramopoulos was interesting, as the former commissioner has had a personal relationship with Erdogan since they were mayors of Athens and Istanbul, respectively. . And his presence may not have been institutional, but that didn’t stop him from talking to the many personalities who made their “gift.” Except for one: the leader of the Turkish Cypriots, Ersin Tatar, whom the seasoned politician avoided even … greetings.

Shield of Androulakis

The devastation that has happened to PASOK leaders and their tax stance is not stopping Nikos Androulakis. Reports say he supports new non-asterisk executives as, in his opinion, “we can’t want upgrades without being tolerant of mistakes.” He who waits for desolation waits unfairly.

Not right away

I asked if the postponed visit of Mr. Mitsotakis to Athos would be canceled due to the coronavirus. To which I received an answer that an immediate arrival is not planned, since the program is “suffocating” and has long been formed.
