Hello, we just had our first almost winter weekend with the government keeping a low profile due to K.M. being abroad, while PASOK made a strong presence at symbolic events like the farewell to Vasso Papandreou, who passed away modestly and humbly, just as she lived her entire life.

The Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE) has undercut the government's growth forecast for this year and warns that the country risks slipping back into a financial crisis if the reform effort is abandoned and the production model is not changed.

As many as 137 municipal authorities, which correspond to 42 percent of all local authorities and 31 percent of the country's population, have not published their ratified financial reports for 2015, according to a study by the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Review (IOBE) published on Tuesday.
