Kathimerini

Friday's sweeping overhaul of Greece's military leadership is indicative of a radical shift in the dogma governing how the armed forces are run, Defense Minister Nikos Dendias tells Kathimerini in an exclusive interview.

Pantelis Tsiadis' day often begins before dawn, with the alarm clock ringing at 5.30 a.m.

Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss this latest move by the government to scrap all the fines imposed on the elderly who never got vaccinated against Covid-19, look at the reactions it has sparked, and break down how a new wave of infections is impacting the country.

Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini's English edition, joins Thanos Davelis to break down what's on Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' agenda for 2024, from the mini cabinet reshuffle he announced this week to passing key legislation that includes permitting non-state universities in Greece, allowing for postal voting, and legalizing same-sex marriage. 

Robert Kaplan, the distinguished international relations expert, outlines, in an interview to Kathimerini, the geopolitical developments that will dominate the new year.

With a special event in the port of Piraeus, Kathimerini and The New York Times marked 25 years of a joint venture between the two media groups that share common values. Their encounter elevated English-language news coverage in Greece a quarter of a century ago.

With the real estate market due for a correction after significant price hikes, according to real estate experts and the Bank of Greece, there is a market segment, winter holiday homes, which never rebounded from the financial crisis.

The morning after the event celebrating the 25th anniversary of the collaboration between Kathimerini and The New York Times for the former's English-language edition, thanks to which American columnist Susan Glasser was in Athens for the first time, we meet at the cafe of a hotel in central Athens.

Donald Trump's behavior has been a blight on American democracy and on the United States' ability to exert influence over the rest of the world, The New York Times' chief White House correspondent Peter Baker tells Kathimerini.

Former conservative premier Antonis Samaras is expected to vote against an amendment included a government bill that allows migrants to obtain a three-year residency and work permit, Kathimerini understands.

Samaras "does not hide" when he disagrees on an issue and "it is self-evident" that he will not choose to be absent, but will reject the amendment, the same source said.
