[01] Energy Min Skourletis estimates program review can be completed in March"The coalition with ANEL is based on honesty despite the great differences that exist. I do see any reasons right now to tell that the cycle of this cooperation has closed," Energy Minister Panos Skourletis said in an interview with Sunday's Avghi newspaper.Skourletis also called the incident with Alternate Migration Minister Yiannis Mouzalas "politically funny" and added: "There was no consideration that such a fact could undermine the coherence of the current ruling majority. If this was the case, it would be associated with much deeper and more serious problems." Regarding the refugee problem, he stressed that this does not concern only Greece. "At this critical juncture it will be proved if Europe eventually follows the path of solidarity and European values or make choices that will lead to the development of centrifugal trends and far-right voices and potentially its decomposition." The Greek minister estimated that the program review can be completed in March and reassured that the implementation of the government's parallel programme is an integral part of the entire government programme.
