    Tsipras vs Mitsotakis: The Top 1% at the Checkout, €40 Billion on the Table — and a Greece Stuck at 68% of Europe

    Alexis Tsipras’ interview with SKAI went far beyond the battle over petrol prices and benefits. It brought into focus the economic confrontation likely to dominate the road to the next election: who should bear the cost of the crisis, how far redistribution can go, and how much fiscal space Greece actually has. European data support part of the opposition’s case on purchasing power and housing, while the government points to growth, employment and fiscal discipline. In the middle lies the question that could ultimately define the debate: will the promises survive the numbers?

    Athens Enters the Hedge Fund Map: Millennium and Rokos Put Greece on Global Finance’s Radar

    Androulakis at TIF: “This Should Be New Democracy’s Final Mile” — His First Six-Month Plan

    Nikos Androulakis used the 90th Thessaloniki International Fair to make his clearest bid yet for government: seven flagship reforms for the first six months, lower energy costs, tougher action against market concentration, tax relief for SMEs, a new strategy for agriculture and a “New Helsinki” framework for relations with Turkey. His central message was unmistakable: PASOK wants to be judged not simply as an opposition party, but as a government-in-waiting.
