Olga Gerovasili

The new Greek government was announced by spokesperson Olga Gerovasili, Friday at 10pm. Minister of Education Nikos Filis was left out of the new government, paying the price for his open disagreement with the head the Greek Orthodox Church, Archbishop of Athens Ieronymos.

The bombshell ruling by Greece’s Supreme Administrative Court, the Council of State (CoS), against the constitutionality of the TV law passed by the Greek government portents serious developments in the domestic political system, with opposition parties calling for early elections and the government harshly criticising the court’s decision.

Energy cooperation, regional security and the management of migration flows will be on the agenda as Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras holds talks with Egyptian and Cypriot leaders in Cairo Tuesday.

Representatives of the four private TV channels that won the licenses auctioned off last week will on Monday meet with State Minister Nikos Pappas, government spokeswoman Olga Gerovasili and the general secretary for information and communication Lefteris Kretsos.

The owners of the four new TV stations will be meeting with government representatives, later Monday at 3 pm, at Maximos Mansion. The four licence owners will see Minister of State Nikos Pappas, the government spokesperson, Olga Gerovasili and General Secretary of Information and Communication, Lefteris Krestos.

The Greek government will examine the asylum requests of eight people who landed at Alexandroupolis airport on Saturday aboard a Turkish military helicopter as dictated by international laws, government spokeswoman Olga Gerovasili said.

Athens backs the "democratically elected government" in Turkey, government spokesperson Olga Gerovasili said early Saturday following the attempted military coup in the neighboring country.

Gerovasili added that Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will call Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on Saturday.

In what is being interpreted by some as an attempt to divert public opinion away from the austerity measures, government spokeswoman Olga Gerovasili on Tuesday elaborated on the administration's plans for constitutional review and reform of the electoral system.

The government said on Tuesday that it had met the "final condition" set by the country's creditors for the disbursement of a 7.5-billion-euro tranche of bailout money after announcing it will move ahead with the sale of Athens's former international airport at Elliniko.

The privatisation of the former airport at Hellinikon, which has caused great controversy due to the harsh criticism the ruling government of SYRIZA had come under because of  its negative stance on the deal, seems to be entering its final stages.
