Thoughts for a Greek PM – Opposition Leader Meeting
At a moment when the negotiations between Greece and the country’s lenders are at the most critical point, government officials are considering the arrangement of a meeting between Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras, in order to find a common ground regarding the Troika negotiations. The idea was tabled earlier this week during the meeting held in the government headquarters between the Greek Premier and government Vice President Evangelos Venizelos. The two men are considering this possibility in order to give the main opposition leader a detailed update on the negotiations front, although the invitation will have the characteristics of a meeting and not of a political leaders’ council. MPs of the ruling New Democracy party have already expressed their agreement for such a meeting. On the contrary, SYRIZA MP Panagiotis Lafazanis was amongst those disagreeing with such a possibility and described the proposed meeting as a “political depredation,” although SYRIZA’s official line is that Tsipras is open to the invitation. At the same time, SYRIZA’s spokesman is ruling out the participation of PASOK’s leader, Venizelos, as it is characterized as unnecessary. “We think that the presence of Mr. Venizelos would be unnecessary… If the government cannot communicate or express itself with a single voice, that is its own problem,” SYRIZA spokesman Panos Skourletis said earlier today, according to Greek newspaper “Kathimerini.” Furthermore, Skourletis declared that the government should not expect any consensus on the debt issue. “If the Prime Minister feels the need to invite Mr. Tsipras, this is something that we will look at. However, we make clear from the beginning, that there is no room for a consensus on issues related to debt,” he underlined. Objections regarding the meeting between the Prime Minister and the main opposition leader were also expressed by a portion of government MPs. According to statements New Democracy secretary Andreas Papamimikos made to “Vima” radio station, there is “no sense” in such a meeting as long as the main opposition continues to demand the premier’s resignation. “We see top brass in SYRIZA, such as Mr. Pappas, saying that Mr. Tsipras will meet with Mr. Samaras in order to ask for his resignation… We will not meet and reach understanding with people who create division and the rest are pretexts,” Papamimikos said, concluding that “when the answer we get from the head of the main opposition leader’s office is that Mr. Tsipras, if he decides to see the Prime Minister, will ask for his resignation, then I’m sorry, but that is an insult not just to the Prime Minister but to the institution. One cannot, therefore, reply to hypothetical situations. Let us see how things are and then we can talk.”

Before Midnight: my most overrated film
Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy seem to think they’re scaling the intellectual heights as they swan around the sun-kissed Greek countryside, but their conversational ramblings are as dull as ditchwaterMore overrated films “How long’s it been since we wandered around, bullshitting?” asks Ethan Hawke in Before Midnight. The answer, for my money, is not bloody long enough. Give it a rest. I don’t want to hear any more from you two.Hawke’s Jesse and Julie Delpy’s Céline have spent the summer, along with their angelic twin girls and Jesse’s adolescent son from his first marriage, at a writers’ retreat in Greece. It’s been a long time since he and Céline first met on a train circa 1995 and spent a heady Viennese night together. This is the final part of Richard Linklater’s trilogy, and, it turns out, the two fortysomethings are even more irritating than their twentysomething selves. Continue reading...

Draft Bill on Greek Citizenship Requirements
The Ministry of the Interior is preparing a bill that will give second-generation legal immigrants and their children the right to apply for Greek citizenship, according to Kathimerini. The new bill will essentially replace the 2010 Yiannis Ragousis law on nationality and citizenship issues, according to which second-generation migrants have the right to apply for Greek citizenship and to stand in local elections. The law was deemed unconstitutional by the Council of State in 2013, thus leaving a legislation gap. The bill proposed sets out three alternative prerequisites for the acquisition of citizenship. The applicant must either have completed the compulsory minimum education in the Greek system (primary school and junior high), have completed six academic years in secondary education (junior and senior high) or have finished high school and graduated from a Greek university or technical college. However, the new bill does not cater to children of migrants who were born in Greece. It is estimated that there are about 200,000 children of legal migrants who have no citizenship, therefore they appear not to be citizens of any country. According to Ministry of the Interior figures, only 6,000 had applied for citizenship under the Ragousis law. According to Ministry of the Interior officials, there needs to be articles added to the bill regarding the children of migrants. So far, there haven’t been any proposals on the issue. A special committee on nationality issues will convene to make proposals. At the time being, the bill says that migrants as young as 16 will be able to apply and will be eligible for citizenship from the age of 18.

Employer Demands of Pregnant Woman to Have Abortion to Keep Her Job
A 33-year old woman alleged that her employers asked her to have an abortion in order to keep her job and later on they threatened that she would not receive salaries owed unless she quit her job before giving birth. According to iefimerida.gr, the woman filed an official complaint with the labor inspectorate of Greece, according to which her employers had threatened that they would use violence against her unless she had an abortion and that she was repeatedly swore at by her bosses. The woman claims that the construction company Pantheon AKTEE of Iraklio, Crete, owes her five monthly salaries along with Christmas, Easter and other bonuses. She says that even though she is a certified engineer and works as an engineer, she was hired as an office clerk and receives a clerk’s salary under a European Union subsidization program, meaning that her salary was subsidized and her employers only had to pay her insurance contributions. According to the woman, her bosses asked her to resign a few days before birth in order to pay her the salaries they owed her. Cretan news agency candianews reported that the labor inspectorate have called the company asking for a Friday meeting, as the woman is scheduled to give birth on Monday. Several Iraklio unions and organizations have expressed their support to the woman. The Salaried Engineers Union released a statement denouncing the construction company. In the statement issued, They accuse the company for racist and sexist behavior and blackmail. They also accuse the company for breach of labor laws and say that the woman had a work-related accident for which she was never compensated and that she never received overtime even though she was working more hours than those stated in her contract.

Athens University Rectors Propose Electronic Student Vote
The Greece ‘s Athens University rector and vice-rectors on Tuesday proposed the introduction of electronic voting by the student body in order to decide major issues affecting the university, such as whether to stage sit-ins and occupy the premises. “In conditions of democracy, the violent occupation of university premises (and the standing risk of damage as has repeatedly occurred in the past) cannot be tolerated, nor can the tampering with democracy in various ways, but precisely in the spirit of the ‘Polytechnic’ of 1973 there is an urgent demand to reinstate simple reason,” they said in an announcement. Electronic voting by department would finally give the student majority an opportunity for everyone to directly decide whether to suspend classes, as some propose and then impose, the announcement added.
