Athens has always found it difficult to gain the attention of its partners whenever it needed to explain what it is like to face a threat from a revisionist country, which wants to “correct” the “mistakes” of history by force. 

National borders must never be changed by force. In the case of Greece, this guiding principle is mandated by the country’s longstanding faith in international law, historical orientation and national interest. 

The rapid imposition of a fine on Attiki Odos SA, the company managing the Greek capital’s biggest ring road, for its omissions in the recent snowstorm – which led to thousands of motorists being left stranded on the highway – is, unfortunately, unprecedented.

The idea of afternoon surgeries gives more freedom to the medical staff working in the country’s National Healthcare System (ESY), without opposing its public nature. 

It was necessary to change the criminal law so that sentences for crimes related to sports violence were actually served.
