[01] PM Tsipras concludes meeting on government's work, economy,
refugee issues
A government meeting chaired by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras at the
Maximos mansion was concluded on Tuesday afternoon. According to sources,
it focused on planning the government's work, the economy, the refugees
issue and public administration matters.
[02] Vanessa Redgrave in Athens to highlight plight of refugees
Noted actress, activist and Unicef Goodwill Ambassador Vanessa Redgrave
on Tuesday paid a visit to an open reception centre for refugees and
migrants in the Elaionas district of inner city Athens.
Redgrave praised the humanity shown by the country toward the waves of
refugees and other Third World nationals landing in the country from
neighboring Turkey, and said that other governments must also assume
responsibility, since Greece was unable to cope with the refugee crisis
alone. She particularly praised the residents of the eastern Aegean
islands and volunteers arriving from all parts of the world to help the
refugees, urging people everywhere to exert pressure on their governments
for a more positive approach to the refugees issue.
She was accompanied on her visit by Alternate Migration Policy Minister
Yiannis Mouzalas and Athens Mayor George Kaminis.
