The background of the Maximus meeting on the expulsion Samara, who are the three persons who attempted an approach? Samara – Mitsotakis, will the former Prime Minister make a party? Continual postponements in the research on hydrocarbons, the Turks who lurk, Mystakides and the capital increase in ABBank and the court battle for SMS between Ursula and Burla

The background of the rupture The title could be “the chronicle of a pronounced expulsion”. The countdown to delete the former prime minister actually started not from the event with Karamanlis, at the War Museum, in which both former prime ministers criticized the Mitsotakis government for an agenda of issues. The Samara speech caused greater anger at a women’s magazine event in Nicosia that awarded the wife of the President of the Republic of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides, the heroine women of Cyprus on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the invasion of Attila. The Samara category that “sounds that destructive solutions are being cooked” in Cyprus and the Aegean, caused severe inconvenience in Athens and Nicosia. For the first time, Kyriakos Mitsotakis sent a clear message from Brussels where he was at the summit, that he would not leave unanswered accusations of “meverage” involving either him or the Foreign Minister, Mr. Gerapteritis. He left spikes for “patriots of lentils” although he said he does not refer to the former prime minister but to the small right-wing parties. The Samara interview in the “Step” was the drop that overflowed the glass and officially fell the end titles. The meeting and the persons At the meeting held in Maximus under Kyriakos Mitsotakis, on Saturday, which was scheduled with another agenda, the Samaras issue came first. Ministers of State Makis Voridis and Akis Skertsos, Deputy Minister Paul Marinakis and George Mylonakis, the secretary of law and parliamentary affairs of Prime Minister Stelios Koutnatzis’ office, the general press and information director Panos Amyras, the director of the press office Christos Painter and Prime Minister Kyra Kapi’s communication director participated. The Prime Minister left around 3:30 p.m. The government representative undertook to draw up the statement on the Samara deletion and at 4:30 in the afternoon he received the order from Kyriakos Mitsotakis to give it to the public. The decision The joint finding was that “Next time, what else will he say! There is no room for more tolerance.” Nobody thought twice. The decision to delete was unanimous. It was considered appropriate for the Prime Minister to respond with a leadership move which is at risk but concerns his personal and political dignity, as well as the prestige of Foreign Minister George Gerapteritis, whose resignation Antonis Samaras requested, at a critical time when our national issues are being discussed and the Greek-Turkish dialogue is ongoing. It was commented that at a time when SYRIZA is being dismantled and PASOK is being regrouped, there is a problem of cohesion in the Southwest and the blow is caused by the former Prime Minister. The Samara interview also caused the rain of executive messages from all over Greece in Maximos and the party with the request “enough now” which was also taken into account. Three mediators NewsIT today reveals another background concerning the mediation efforts made in order for Mitsotakis and Samaras to come closer. The persons are Minister of National Economy and Finance Kostis Hatzidakis, the Governor of the Bank of Greece Giannis Stournaras and former Minister of State Stavros Papastavros. For months there have been meetings and calls with the former Prime Minister who each made separate. Antonis Samaras insisted that he has his own opinions and will say them. He expressed bitterness about the Mitsotakis attitude. He was told that publicizing his opinions would damage everyone. Efforts were also made on the Prime Minister’s side to break the ice. He made the known call to the two former prime ministers to invite them to the Rigilla party for the 50 years of the NW. They did not respond and instead of answering his own office, as promised, they informed the party secretary Maria Syregela. He was determined. Antonis Samaras did not seem positive in any step of approach by Kyriakos Mitsotakis. For example, for the call he received from the Prime Minister he said Mitsotakis was not warm. He did not take into account either the decision to drop the hoods from Novartis’ protected witnesses (it was his basic request) following a Florida settlement under a Mitsotakis mandate, nor the Prime Minister’s government over the woke agenda and extreme rights, It is recalled that she spoke about “the tyranny of the minority” while a few months ago she referred to “the tyranny of the majority” which attempts to impose her opinion in an aggressive manner. And in this the reaction of Samara was that he does not change his principles according to the circumstances. The assessment made by Kostis Hatzidakis is that Samaras sought his deletion. Is he gonna party? There are other views that the former Prime Minister underestimated the reaction of Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Perhaps he believed that he would not reach this extreme decision to delete a former prime minister. Talkers told him at newsIT that yesterday, he was very upset with the developments. Nikos Tsioutsias’s spokesman, speaking to Natasa Yamali in Mega said that “Mr. Samaras will not remain silent and silent” after his deletion. He didn’t rule out his own party. All he can say for sure is that Mr. Samaras is leaving for the United States. Latinopoulou Various scripts were released about the next day. Will he turn his seat over to the Southwest or remain independent? The other question is what it will do in the budget. In the “Step” he said that of course he would vote for him but his deletion that might affect his decision followed. The right apartment building The crossword puzzle in the right apartment building is not simple. Samaras is clearly an iconic political figure expressing it. This time Mitsotakis drove him away. He has often referred to 18–20% that is fragmented to the right of the Southwest. And to want to express this pole, will Kyriakos Velopoulos, who is today the ultimate ruler in his party or even Venus Latinopoulou, who the former Prime Minister supports underground but has succeeded since her appearances – no officials appear – in giving her over 8% polls? Or will Samaras agree to enter under Mrs. Latinopoulou? It should also be noted that only two of the right-hand apartment building condemned its deletion, Latinopoulou and Natsios of Victory. Scripts! The account that a strong right-wing personality could unify this space does not seem to have a realistic basis, as fragmentation is due to everyone wanting to be leaders. Also a former prime minister who once dropped the South West government and left to make his own party if he attempts it again will refer to the phrase that history repeats itself as a hoax. Contacts with Trump staff? Antonis Samaras flew yesterday afternoon to New York. He has been invited to the annual event of recognition of Columbia donors in which this year Andreas Drakopoulos will be honoured for the donation of Niarchos Foundation to the Centre for Precision Psychology. Information says he will make contacts with expatriate officials who have bridges with the staff of elected US president Donald Trump. The constant postponements and the “geotholes on fire”! In April 2022, when Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis had participated in a major meeting on the possible hydrocarbon deposits, it was officially announced that the government design provides for the completion of the first round of all seismic investigations by March 2023 and the execution of the first research drilling before the end of 2023. This plan had been called upon to implement the management of JHA (now JHA) amid paianians, according to which global energy turmoil was an opportunity for the Greek gas or oil research programme. In fact, specific landmarks were set for the concession holders of the sea grounds in Crete, Ionian Sea and the continental land in Ioannina. Since then there has been some years but there is no light on the horizon although some see that “the drilling holes are on fire”! The management of Helleniq Energy, which participates in the consortium under the American ExxonMobil to which the two marine areas south and southwest of Crete have been granted, said that decisions on research drilling will be taken “within 2025”. As soon as he said it, the fairs began and there is no news from the American group that has the majority in the consortium. The most pessimistic are also pointing to environmental organizations that lurk. What port will be used as a “base” to advance drilling and the others that follow? Is there any preparation? What do local communities say? Does discussions with Turkey affect drilling planning? In this geopolitical environment and the twists brought by the Trump presidency to the United States did they go faster? Fine letters will tell me when “the drilling holes are on fire”! The Turks are preparing new research on the cable with Cyprus In November or early December research work on studies on the electrical interconnection of Crete – Cyprus is expected to continue and in Athens an alarm has been issued. There are currently investigations within the Cypriot Independent Economic Zone (AEZ) outside Turkish disputes. However, diplomatic sources in Athens fear a repetition of the episode that had occurred off Kasos in July, when the Italian ship carrying out the research work was harassed by Turkish ships. The open fronts with Ankara in the Aegean are a lot and what is happening in recent days (see deletion Antonis Samara from the South after the offensive statements against the prime minister) do not contribute to improving the situation. The question is whether Turkish movements will effectively prevent investigations into the cable. They already seem to have a serious print on the design of foreign groups for offshore wind farms in our country… Mystakidis prepares a capital increase at ABBank in early 2025 The next step of billionaire Telis Mystakidis at Aegean Baltic Bank (ABBank) after the completion of the admission procedures to the share capital of the highly profitable bank is the increase in share capital. The increase is expected to take place at the beginning of the new year and there we will see the final percentages with which the smaller shareholders except Mystakides will stay (if they stay) in ABBank. Today the second largest shareholder of the bank is the Aphthonite family which currently maintains management. In fact, during the process of entering the Greek cross the Mystakides side also took some shares from ABBank small shareholders. So although he sold a share percentage to Mystakidis he remained in second place, in front of the shipowner Nikos Tsakos who at first said he would be on the side of the sellers, he finally retained the 24% he had in ABBank. The question is whether he will participate in the capital increase or see his percentage retreat in early 2025. Powerful arsenal prepares CVC for new round of infrastructure investments Not one, but two, new funds that will focus on infrastructure are launched by CVC in the first half of 2025 and we look forward to seeing if the largest international investor in our country will move on within Greek borders. The two new funds, DIF VIII and Value Add IV, will start investing by the following June. In one of CVC’s latest international movements in infrastructure, the international group bought ECO from Singapore specializing in waste management. In Greece it already participates with 10% in PPC but has so far abstained (though in some cases it has shown initial interest) from the major tenders for concessions or other infrastructure. The battle for SMS between Burla and von der Leien continues the judicial investigation on the occasion of the famous SMS sent by the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leien to the head of Pfizer Alv. Burla during negotiations to ensure vaccines against Covid – 19 for all Member States – Member States. Following a lawsuit filed by the New York Times against the Commission that refused to release these SMSs to them on Friday a member of the court examining the case wondered whether officials could avoid publishing documents via SMS communication or general text messages to other applications such as Whatsap. European Commission lawyers have argued that they cannot make these text messages public between von der Leien and Burla because their existence has not been confirmed by the President of the Commission. On Friday they took it further down and argued that even if they had exchanged such messages, they would not have been stored due to “their current character” and therefore could not be made public. The court case is still ongoing. The uncovered positions in the State and incentives to attract qualified staff During the period of extreme labor insecurity of the memos and despite the abolition of the Gifts, a position in the state could be considered almost synonymous with work … happiness: Permanent work, monthly salary goes in – month goes out etc. However, the treatment of the public, especially those workers or prospective workers, has changed greatly since then and more specifically, the column is informed that public positions for engineers and informers, especially in mountain and island regions, are far from attractive. Therefore, not only these positions, but also whole services that are subject to ’empty’, which negatively affects trade between citizens and businesses on the one hand and public administration and local government on the other. The issue is of serious concern to the joint ministries and has two sides: One is housing (where it will run a new strategy to address it) and the other is wage. In relation to wages, the government will establish a permanent mechanism for increases after 2025 and then by the amount of the minimum wage increase. However, these increases are not expected to bring the downs – on public fees, which will continue to fall short of the private sector, especially for the most skilled workers. So the government is carefully considering encouraging the public to attract specific skilled workers to specific difficult-to-access – and therefore with uncovered positions – areas of the country. These incentives are related to the possibility of those employed in the public sector being able to be employed at the same time and regularly in the same specific subject, under strict conditions, such as geographical distance. These semiconductors, we studies! Of particular importance is the national programme for semiconductors, the well-known chips of which China is monopolizing. Recently, the work, worth EUR 37.2 million, of drawing up a study on the recording of trends and challenges of the European and global markets for semiconductors and Greece’s current position in this field has joined the National Development Programme 2021-2025. The aim is to formulate the national strategy for semiconductors in order for Greece to attract relevant investments. Of course, the point is not to stay in the studies.
