Neuer Skandal in Griechenland

-
Der griechische Fußball wird erneut von einem Manipulationsskandal erschüttert.

Wie die Nachrichtenagentur "AFP" am Donnerstag berichtete, hat die Staatsanwaltschaft Athen Anklage gegen 16 Funktionäre erhoben. Zu den Beschuldigten sollen auch hochrangige Mitarbeiter des griechischen Fußballverbands EPO sowie Schiedsrichter zählen.

Den Angeklagten wird laut des Berichts die Bildung einer kriminellen Vereinigung, Betrug, Erpressung und Korruption vorgeworfen. Bei den großangelegten Untersuchungen waren Spiele zwischen 2011 und 2013 in den Fokus der Ermittler geraten.

Bereits 2011 hatte ein Wettskandal den griechischen Fußball erschüttert.

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...

Las Vegas des Balkans Zocken beim verhassten Nachbarn: Fürs Casino vergessen Griechen ihre Prinzipien Artikel übernommen von Focus, LINK Um des Flüchtlingsandrangs Herr zu werden, hat Mazedonien an der Grenze zu Griechenland einen Zaun errichtet. Doch wenige Meter weiter dürfen 550.000 Griechen jährlich einfach so passieren. Ihr Ziel: Die Casinos der Grenzstadt Gevgelija. Vor knapp einem Jahr gingen die Bilder aus Idomeni um die Welt. Sie zeigten ein im Schlamm versinkendes Zeltlager an einer Bahnlinie am Rande des griechischen Grenzdorfes. Fast 20.000 Flüchtlinge und Immigranten trotzten hier Kälte, Wind und Regen in der Hoffnung auf eine Weiterreise nach Nordeuropa. Zwecklos. Die Grenze Griechenlands zur ehemaligen jugoslawischen Republik Mazedonien, wie das in aller Welt nur als Mazedonien benannte Land in Griechenland genannt werden muss, wurde mit einem kilometerlangen Zaun hermetisch geschlossen. Aus Protest blockierten die Flüchtlinge wochenlang die Bahnlini...

- 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...

The Greeks were never what the Germans thought of them

 "The Greeks were never what the Germans thought of them" On the criticism of philhellenism For a long time "Greece" was the projection screen for idealized ideas. But what made the Philhellenes so special? And what about philhellenism today? Caricatures are currently playing an aggressive to mean role in Greek-German relations. May I help you look at an older caricature by my friend Kostas Mitropulos? [1] A delighted, laughing man in antique hoplite armor stands on the right: round shield with meander pattern, breastplate, the open storm helmet, greaves and hand spear are easy to see. The gaze and the words are directed towards the person opposite, identified by their cap, black hair and mustache as the prototype of a Greek named Jorgos, Kostas or Jannis, whose gaze seems somewhat perplexed. The former applies the ancient Greek sentence Άνδρα μοι έννεπε μούσα πολύτροπον ... ’to the latter, whereupon the razor-sharp conclusion: ah German - that can only be a German....
