[01] EU's Barroso and Commissioners on Acropolis Museum tourANA-MPA -- Prime Minister Antonis Samaras accompanied EU President Manuel Barroso and members of the College of Commissioners on a tour at the Acropolis Museum on Thursday. "Everyone who visits the museum becomes enthusiastic," Samaras said, "Professor Pantermalis gave us a high-quality tour. We saw the Caryatids and the restoration work being done on them. It is astonishing when you walk into a museum and see restorers working on the monument itself, right there, it is amazing," Samaras noted. Asked whether Greece will gain anything from the EU presidency and whether the future will be better, he said: "Words do not count. Acts count, the strategy of exiting the crisis counts, this is our aim, we are doing that step-by-step, but steadily," he added.Normal 0 false false false EL X-NONE X-NONE DefSemiHidden="true" DefQFormat="false" DefPriority="99" /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} [02] Main opposition MP Petros Tatsopoulos resigns from SYRIZA10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Courier New";color:#0F1419;mso-ansi-language:EN-US; "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: ANA-MPA -- Main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) MP Petros Tatsopoulos on Thursday submitted his resignation from the party to SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras, while sources said that his resignation might well be accepted.
