[01] Leftist parties on visit by Israeli PM to Greece
(ANA-MPA) -- The Communist Party of Greece (KKE), in reaction to
Monday's planned visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
his scheduled meeting with Prime Minister George Papandreou, charged on
Sunday that the PASOK government is assuming "great responsibilities
since, continuing the policy of New Democracy, it not only supports
politically, but is developing military cooperation with Israel with
joint exercises and agreements."
KKE also called on the people of Athens to participate in a
demonstration at the War Museum on Monday afternoon and an ensuing
march to the Israeli embassy in Athens.
Meanwhile, the Coalition of the Left (Synaspismos) party issued a
similar announcement, stating that the government's foreign policy is
moving along "slippery paths ... it is looking at the past and not the
future, during a period where international balances are changing."
[02] Fires on Crete, Kythira
A wildfire broke out on Saturday at the Aghia Moni site on the island
of Kythira island, in the southeastern Aegean, and was reported as
still in progress on Sunday.
A fire brigade unit reportedly contained two of the blaze's three
fronts over the night.
Another wildfire was reported in Ierapetra, Crete, burning brush land
in the Selakano site. One water-dropping helicopter and 10 fire engines
along with a unit of fire-fighters were dispatched to the scene.
