Macedonians in Greece Join SYRIZA to Find Work

-

The village mayor of Ovcarani, Gjorgi Javramov, says that Macedonians in Greece are increasingly seeking membership in SYRIZA because they will easier find employment through this party, which is a certain winner of the next elections, Telegraf.mk reports.


Javramov, who became head of the village through membership in SYRIZA on the last local elections, said that the situation in Greece is difficult, but it’s even harder if you're a member of a minority that the government does not recognize.

“People here are poor and life is hard. They seek salvation by joining some party and SYRIZA is the first choice. The fact that many of them visit Bitola regularly to purchase groceries and to look for work speak volumes about the condition of the people in Ovcharani. They often have problems on the way back with the border police that inquire them why they go to Macedonia,” Javramov says.



Opposition SYRIZA and its leader Alexis Tsipras are the most serious candidate to take power on the next elections which are expected to be scheduled in the spring because the current Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is finding more difficult to secure majority in the parliament, which was best seen on the last confidence vote two weeks ago.

The last survey published a few days ago showed that SYRIZA has edge over New Democracy and if elections are to be called it would be able to form government with no problems. SYRIZA is further encouraged by the good result achieved in the last local and European elections.

The opinions are that Tsipras, who is more moderate politician than Samaras, will have softer approach to the demands of the Macedonian minority in Greece. They are primarily in connection to studying Macedonian language in the municipalities where Macedonians are majority.

The Greek government so far remained deaf to their demands and the Macedonian minority is considering turning to the Human Rights Court in Strasbourg. One of the strongest opponents to their demands is the mayor of Florina, Ioannis Voskopoulos, known for its anti-Macedonian sentiments.

Even the signatures collected by the residents as an appeal for the learning of Macedonian language to be allowed in schools has not help. Ovcarani, or Meliti in Greek, is located near Florina and is one of villages in the Aegean region with largest Macedonian community. There are about 1,500 residents and three primary schools.



Pande Ashlakov, former mayor of the village, says they have no intention of giving up the idea the children from the region to learn Macedonian language, although they are not optimistic.

“One can never be sure what to expect from the Greek authorities. We submitted new request to Kozani Prefecture and this time, in order not to irritate them, we said in the application that we require "native language" study instead Macedonian language for the children up to sixth grade,” Ashlakov explains.

Apart from Ovcarani, Macedonians in Greece also have village mayor in the village of Neret or Polipotamos, as this village is called in Greek, where Vasil Stojkov won the mayor’s office also through membership in SYRIZA.

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: 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

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

Nikos Dimou: Greece has already lost in the name issue

- 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
