We are just hours away from this year’s 32nd Classic Marathon Race taking place in Greece. The historic race begins from Marathon, the site where in ancient times, the Great Marathon battle took place that resulted in a great victory by the Greeks. This 42km race has become a very popular event that attracts athletes from Greece and all over the world. More than 70 thousand visitors are expected to join this wonderful event, with more than 35 thousand athletes participating in the race. The number of athletes participating is a record number for Greece, making it the greatest athletic event of the country and one of the greatest of Europe. From these 35 thousand athletes, 13 thousand are going to run the full race (42 km), extending from Marathon, in Eastern Attica all the way to the Panathinaic stadium, downtown Athens. The remaining athletes will run 5 or 10 km races. More than 5 thousand athletes are expected to join the race from abroad. The number of foreign athletes has increased this year by 35 percent in comparison to last year. This event is of great importance for the city of Athens, as it attracts more than 70 thousand visitors from all over the country and abroad, giving Athens a “boost” in terms of tourism revenues and promotion. The Union of Attica hoteliers will give specific figures on the number of tourists it hosted in its hotels during this weekend at the end of the month, but according to the Athletic Union of Greece (SEGAS) the revenues from this year’s Marathon race are expected to be between 18 and 20 million euros.

Moreover, a Special Olympics children race of 1500 meters will also be taking place.

The train route connecting Greece’s capital Athens to the Northern Port city of Thessaloniki was disrupted today, after a train derailed at the Lilaia station in the Amphikleia region, central Greece. The cargo train derailed at 2:40 a.m., due to the heavy rainfall and the severe weather phenomena that prevailed in the region at that time. The train did not carry any passengers and fortunately the drivers and other staff aboard did not suffer any injuries. However, due to these circumstances the evening passenger train from Thessaloniki to Athens had to cancel its route and passengers were transferred to Athens by bus. Those that had planned to travel by train today are experiencing major delays, as their trip is carried out by train up to the Lianokladi-Tithorea train station and then by bus. Meanwhile, the technical teams of the Greek railway organizations, OSE and Trainose are on scene, working hard in their efforts to recover the train and fix the damaged train tracks.

With his tattooed arms and buzzed head, “Socrates” (born Aleksei Sutuga) hardly resembles a greek philosopher. But like his namesake, Socrates’ politics have run him afoul of authorities. For the past few years, Socrates has risen as a vocal leader in the anti-fascist punk (antifa) community in Russia, a response to growing ranks of ultra-nationalist and neo-nazi groups.

Source: time.com - Saturday, November 08, 2014 Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a different wall has taken its place. But instead of separating East and West, this other “wall” is the partition between those who are in German society and those who are on its fringes – namely, non-Western immigrants. Understanding the origins of this modern wall, which undermines cultural and social stability in Germany as well as in other parts of Europe, requires a look back at the past few decades. On the one hand, Germany isn’t all that different from other European countries in grappling with growing right-wing populism, which often targets immigrants and has racist undertones. But on the other hand, it is, and in a very obvious way: No other country in Europe knows better than Germany does how racially motivated hatred can lead to violence. That’s partly why the latest resurgence in anti-immigration and anti-Semitism is surprising, especially to outsiders. Between 2000 and 2007, the neo-Nazi terror cell National Socialist Underground (NSU) carried out a series of racist crimes, including murdering eight Turks and one Greek, all of whom were living in Germany. Thilo Sarrazin’s 2010 runaway bestseller Germany Does Itself In let the genie further out of the bottle, cautioning that immigrants have been steadily destroying German society. In September of this year, Germany’s upper house of parliament approved tighter rules for immigrants from Balkan states, which critics aAll Related
