General from “Golden Dawn” will decide on the Resolution on Macedonia in EP

-
George Epitideios Greek retired general and member of the leadership of neo-fascist party “Golden Dawn”, which in the last European elections become member of the European Parliament today was elected at the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) of the European Parliament.



As MIA reporter from Brussels informs, this means that general in whose army several years ago soldiers sang songs for “flaying skin of Gipsy Skopjans,” in future will be one of the 71′s MEPs in AFET which will decide on EP Resolution, which each year adpts decision for Macedonia as candidate country for EU membership.


Today, at the European Parliament’s session in Strasbourg, in the Committee on Foreign Affairs was elected Andrew Kovachev (GERD and EPP), which in the past gave the highest number of negative amendments to the Resolution on Macedonia, but we are glad that no other serious opponent of our country from the eastern neighbor did not enter in this important EP Committee for Macedonia.

From Bulgaria, despite Kovacev in AFET enter the representative of the Turkish party DPS, Kjuchjuk Ilhan, who is expected to not act with negative attitude towards the Macedonian people, language and nation.

On the other hand, the problem with Greek MEPs is still present. Apart from the general from neo-fascist “Golden Dawn”, the new MEPs in AFET from Greece became Nikos Androulakis (PASOK / SID), Manolis Kefaloyiannis (New Democracy / EPP) and Sofia Sakorafa (SYRIZA / GUE-NGL).

They are expected along with Kovachev to oppose to the use of the constitutional name of Republic of Macedonia, and the adjective “Macedonian” in the Resolution that is expected before the end of the year to be voted in the European Parliament based on the October-Progress Report of the European Commission on Macedonia’s progress in European integration.

On the other hand, large number of Macedonian friends in the AFET in the past, also remain part of the EP Committee on Foreign Affairs. Here is Tune Kelem (Estonia / EPP), Tonino Picula (Croatia / SID), Ivo Vajgl (ALDE) and Alois Peterle (EPP) from Slovenia, Edward Kukan (Slovakia / EPP) and Charles Tannock (ECR / UK).

New names in AFET, and full supporters of the Republic of Macedonia are Andrew Plenkovikj and Jozo Rados from Croatian Democratic Union and the European People’s Party. As a result of it, the current strong supporter of Macedonia in AFET – Davor Ivo Shtier (HDZ / EPP) entered in another committee.

What is certain is that the European Parliament Rapporteur for Macedonia will remain Richard Howitt (SID), which remained in AFET, representing the neutral UK regarding the enlargement of the EU, and the Labor Party, which is left-oriented.

This year’s EP Resolution on Macedonia and other potential candidates and candidates for EU membership is expected to be adopted by the end of this year, or it is possible at the beginning of 2015, after the in October, the  European Commission will publish the latest country-progress report.

In the past five years, the EC and the European Parliament issued positive statements and resolutions with recommendation for immediate start of negotiations for Macedonia’s EU membership, but because of the Greek blockade in the European Council, and due to the imposed name dispute – the country could not progress in European integration.

Griechenland: 2,5 MRD Euro Stromschulden – Versorger schaltet bald erste 50.000 Kunden ab!

-
In Griechenland wird der staatliche Stromversorger in Kürze damit beginnen in einem ersten Schritt 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abzudrehen. Die Außenstände belaufen sich insg. auf 2,5 Milliarden Euro. Betroffen werden vor allem Firmenkunden sein. Eine Katastrophe für die (vorhandene?) Konjunkturerholung. Es gibt einen handfesten Grund, warum die Höhe der Stromrechnungen in den letzten Jahren explodierte… Griechenlands staatlicher Stromversorger PPC hat Außenstände bei Stromkunden von insg. 2,5 Milliarden Euro, 1,8 Milliarden davon bei gewerblichen Kunden. Schulden haben insg. 2,1 Mio Stromkunden in Griechenland. Wenn man das umlegt auf die Gesamtsumme, wären das rein rechnerisch 1.190 Euro Schulden pro Stromkunde, aber bei 1,8 von 2,5 Milliarden Schulden durch gewerbliche Kunden dürften die Privatkunden natürlich deutlich kleinere Summen offen haben. In einem ersten Schritt will PPC demnächst 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abdrehen nach vorheriger Mahnung, so berichtete es vor Kur

THE GREEK HERACLES WAS A BLACK MAN AND THE AFRICAN INFLUENCE ON GREEK AESTHETICS

By Samuel David Ewing It has occurred to me lately as I pondered about the next article for this section that the lineage, pedigree, or family tree of the Greek Heracles must be clarified once and for all. Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus recorded that it was the Egyptian Heracles who was the hero who performed the legendary 12 Labors, subdued the animals of the wild that had threatened the people, ushered in the building of cities, water systems, fortifications, and laws. Walter Burkert has estimated that this original Heracles was renowned as far back as 20,000 years ago. The Greek Heracles ended up receiving honors for the accomplishments of his predecessor, having the title of "Heracles", furthermore by the Bronze Age of Greece in which the Greek Heracles was said to have lived the taming of the wilderness had already been accomplished. The Greek Heracles was not likely to be wearing lion skin armor, wielding a club, with spear as weapons, and the danger of lions ru

Griechenland: Sozialkassen schaffen parallele Staatsverschuldung

-
FMW-Redatkion Die Sozialkassen in Griechenland schaffen derzeit eine Art parallele Staatsverschuldung. Da die annehmen, dass ihre Löcher aus den jetzt fließenden 86 Milliarden Euro vom 3. Hilfspaket nicht gestopft werden, haben sie angefangen in Eigenregie Kredite aufzunehmen. Da sie Rentenfonds, Krankenkassen etc staatliche Einrichtungen sind, erhöht sich damit per Saldo die Staatsschuldenlast Griechenlands noch weiter, auch wenn der Staat Griechenland kaum darum bemüht sein dürfte diese Extra-Schulden in seine eigenen Schulden einzurechnen. Aber Schulden sind Schulden. Wie die angesehene griechische Zeitung „Ekathimerini“ berichtet, hat das „Social Insurance Institute“ im August ein kurzfristiges Darlehen (wird wohl eine Dauerumschuldung) über 110 Mio Euro aufgenommen. 70 Mio davon gab man an seinen öffentlichen Versicherungsfonds weiter, 40 Mio davon an seinen kommunalen Versicherungsfonds. Auch schieben das „Social Insurance Institute“ und der „Generational Solidarity

- Greece has already lost in the case of the name issue. Ninety – five percent of the countries in the world accept the name Macedonia, and we continue to discuss this, said Nikos Dimou, a member of the Greek political party “Potami” (River) when guesting the show on Sky television. Dimou, a renowned Greek writer with more than 60 published books , said he supports a solution based on a composite name with a geographical qualifier, but added that he agrees that Macedonia can be called whatever they want “Macedonia as well”. - The name issue was mismanaged by the Greek government from the very beginning. It is a question for which we have already lost, Dimou said. As MIA reports from Athens, he added that it is his personal view and not the party’s, as he said, ” it has not established a position on this issue”. Dimou’s statement met with strong reactions by some Greek media. The electronic edition of “Hellene Elisis” commented that “the new party discovered their g
