A new day for Greek and European security?
Defense, security, peace, and alliances are top of mind these days. This is clear in Greece, where we saw Athens take a major step - one that Prime Minister Mitsotakis called historic - toward upgrading its defense capabilities as it welcomed its latest top of the line frigate. The move, however, comes as we see issues over Greenland raise new questions about European security and America’s commitment to the transatlantic relationship. This week, Thanos Davelis digs into what this means for Greece with Kathimerini’s Tom Ellis, ELIAMEP’s Elena Lazarou, journalist John Psaropoulos, and HALC’s Endy Zemenide...

Die Frage, die nun im Raum steht: Wer hat ein Anrecht darauf! Griechenland meint: das seien ihre Wirtschaftszonen, die Türkei hält dagegen, denn das betroffene Gebiet zwischen Rhodos und der Ägais liegt direkt vor der türkischen Küste. Was nun im Mittelmeer passiert lässt nur als Wettrüsten der beiden Länder beschreiben. Aber warum eskaliert dieser Streit immer weiter? „Wir hatten vier Kriege mit Griechenland, aber bei keine...

GRECIA. Elecciones, ¿mirando a Bruselas?
El 6 de mayo Grecia celebrará elecciones envuelta en una gran crisis financiera y gobernada, hasta el momento, por un Gobierno de coalición liderado por el tecnócrata Lukas Papademos. La deuda pública (160% del PIB) está siendo el principal talón de Aquiles, pero no se deben olvidar las fuertes medidas de austeridad aplicadas, cuyos efectos ya se están viendo en la sociedad. La tasa de desempleo ha subido hasta casi el 22%, los salarios son cada vez más bajos y los precios suben, lo que ha creado un círculo vicioso de mucho menos consumo y cierre de negoci...

GREECE. Elections, looking at Brussels?

The unemployment rate has rised up to almost 22%, wages are getting lower, and prices higher which makes a vicious circle of much less consumerism and redundancies. Thus, the new Government will have to be kind with Brussels, and the troika and follow the agreements already...
