Spirji’s trap! In a move that moves more in the field of political impression because in its case the limitation applies but puts Costas Karamanlis in a difficult position. former Minister of Transport of SYRIZA Christos Spirtzis went ahead. He was in the frame of responsibilities for the tragedy of the Tempes, in relation to the execution of the contested contract that was delayed and requested by letter to the Speaker of the House, the activation of Article 86 par.5 of the Constitution in order to establish a special committee in which senior judges would participate to investigate any responsibilities of the House itself. His goal is to fly any shadow over him. Government representative Paul Marinakis left sharps that any process would not lead to criminal consequences and does so on the safe side. Mengen But this undoubtedly acts as a vice to Kostas Karamanlis for whom there is no limitation. The former Minister of Transport is far from the lights of publicity locked in his house and bitter because he has even been accused as a “murderer”. If he asked for the preliminary question, once he thinks he’s innocent, he would prove it and be a redemption as they comment on top government officials. Now Sparky throws his glove at him. Until further notice Maximou points out that “so far no one has filed an indictment with new evidence and Costas Karamanlis has rightly not been referred to a pre-trial committee.” Neither did Syriza, although it was caused by the Minister of State, Makis Voridis. But no one puts the hand on the fire that the investigation of Justice could not lead to evidence that would create second thoughts. There will be no cover if there is evidence of a pre-interrogation committee. It is recalled that, among other things, data from the laboratories of England and Canada are expected for conversations and videos from cameras recording the train that left Thessaloniki but were erased within the first 24 hours, possibly destroying critical evidence. It is typical that especially the videos if recovered will show whether there was an illegal car with flammable substances on the train or the conspiracy scenarios circulating will be refuted. Distances Government sources commented on traffic Spirji, that in any case “it is the individual right of everyone for whom it is not competent to place neither the government nor the House”. It is apparently “individual right” and Kostas Karamanlis to request the establishment of this special committee to check whether he has any responsibility. But he didn’t. The climate is very heavy in the ND parliamentary group for the former Minister of Transport. Voices are increasing that he should facilitate his party and not run for candidate in the national elections in 2023. However, if evidence emerges, the preliminary examination will be one way and with the support of the ND. On the other hand there are many ministers who support him and compare him to other SYRIZA ministers who, while having responsibilities, did not resign and answer. The Tembys are coming up with European elections and the vast majority of public opinion thinks there has been a government cover-up in the Tempes tragedy. One reason was the May 2023 national elections approaching when the frontal collision of trains occurred that led to the death of 57 people. Colafos is the poll of Stratron Analysis of Stratu Fanaras presented in the newscast in Mega. 88% of respondents consider that the judicial and political system did not move effectively to attribute responsibilities. In relation to their political self-determination very high are the percentages in centrists (88%), centre-right (75%) and right-wing (82%) which are the electoral audiences of the NW and Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Babis The “Voice of Reason” of President Aphrodite Latinopoulou stands out for homophobic delirium. One of her latest posts was reported by the president: “Marriage is sacred mystery not made to dress Bambis bride”. In the vote estimate of Metron Analysis recorded 2.4% while in February only 1%! The vote of discontent directed at smaller parties in order to send a message to the government concerns the blue staff and seeks a way to put a brake on the leaks. At 830 euros? In the cabinet of 27 March Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will announce the increase in the minimum wage that will apply from 1 April and will support 19 allowances. The scenarios last night were two: an increase in EUR 823 that brings together a consensus of stakeholders and EUR 830 covering the objective of the psychological limit for the government to write after 8, 3. In the second, businesses react. The fall of the NW in polls seems to bring closer to 830 euros. They try to avoid a big bubble in real estate On the same day came the announcements of the Bank of Greece on the maximum allowed limits in indicators related to housing loans and the Ministry of Economy and Finance for the new, increased, limits for the granting of a Golden Visa. The announcements are made while the prices of residential properties continue to move upwards and at the same time a decline is recorded (for the first time since 2017) in the rate of delivery of new residences. The latest IMF report on Greece said that “there are the first signs of imbalances in the real estate market.” In the IMF they found that prices in residential properties have increased significantly, based on all indicators, compared to 2017, with the rise exceeding 50% in nominal and 25% in real prices, with no obvious signs of stabilisation. TTE measures are applied as a shield to a possible sharp decline in real estate prices, just as the IMF requested in its latest report. G. Stournaras had already prepared the ground before the exhibition, though. The government sees that the real estate available is significantly limited and that the housing issue tends to become one of the most serious problems of Greek households, especially new families. Opposing mayors – RIS further limits available apartments The Golden Visa is one of the reasons for limiting the available residential properties, but the situation may deteriorate due to the conflict of government and mayors over the famous bonus in square and height given by the New Building Regulation. The column pointed out from yesterday the serious issue created for many building permits which will either freeze, or adapt to make apartment buildings without the bonus. Mayors who “get out on the mountain” are increasing, even if not all raise the tons while they were raised by the mayors of Alimos and Varis Voulas Vouliagmenis. The reduction in the rate of delivery of new houses, in the last quarter of 2023, has already been noted by analysts and things will worsen if the fight against the NOK bonus is exacerbated. All will be judged by the decision of the plenary of the Council of State to decide whether or not the bonus is constitutional. Moody’s, Economist upgrades and reality “We live in a fantasy world, a world of hallucinations. The great challenge in life is to find reality! “ A famous man, we miss who wrote it once. This is the case with the current situation in recent days. Moody’s may not have upgraded us but, for the umpteenth time, Prime Minister Alexis Patelis celebrated for an upgrade by Economist! We have won many positions in the world ranking for the business environment, regardless of whether we remain in one of Europe’s last positions! On the occasion of yesterday’s celebrations a businessman argued that “an assessor of the British magazine should immediately visit the EPCA service or try to make an appointment!”. The interesting thing is that according to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Economist’s research arm, Greece gained many points because it improved the business finance environment. They were not informed that almost all deals for acquisitions of Greek assets from foreign groups were made with loans from Greek banks, i.e. savings from Greek depositors! The race to become a conference in Tae Kwon Do All show that after the postponement of the competition of the Public Real Estate Company (ETAD) for the concession of Tae Kwon Do’s closed stadium in Faliro there will be positive developments for those who think that the band should be converted into the great conference centre that Athens needs. The big issue with the transformation of the closed stage into a conference is linked to the significant investments to be made to transform it. It seems that in the government and specifically in the Ministry of Economy and Finance they have thought of a concession formula that will allow the public to make a significant contribution to these upgrading projects to make the package more sustainable for a private investor who will take over the operation of the conference. So the competition is driven to be cancelled and we go for another concession model, probably with PPPs. Until official announcements are made, the column remains cautious. As we’ve written, some people don’t want to see a conference center in Faliro. Why (may) prices fall on empty taxis! Taxis will also be scarce this summer due to the good tourist season that all predictions show. The major shortages are bringing to the fore the implementation of a model that already exists in some European markets. The possibility on lease platforms such as Uber and Freenow to cooperate with individuals who want to perform a transport project. The column does not consider that this model can be applied easily in our country. But with the current number of taxis we will hardly serve the large amount of tourists and permanent residents who use taxis in the summer. There are already market liberalisation scenarios available among industry professionals. For this reason some predict that prices for the taxi licences that had taken uphill in recent years may fall significantly.
