Greece has launched a Data Protection Committee to streamline personal data management and enhance security across central government ministries.

A recent survey of 602 Greeks who returned home after living abroad highlights systemic hurdles hindering Greece's progress. Conducted by Kapa Research for the National Documentation Center, the study reveals that most respondents (89%) left Greece for economic reasons, spending an average of 3-9 years overseas.

Greece has before it a horizon of two and a half years without any electoral distractions. This time must be used creatively, in favor of progress, in an international environment that is already full of challenges.

It's not new; but instead of being a sudden, short, violent phenomenon, the political crisis has been a drawn-out, tortuous normality ever since 2012.

Political scientist Prof. Nikolay Naydenov discussed on Bulgaria ON AIR the ongoing efforts by political parties to form a government describing these attempts as the start of their election campaigns. He emphasized that these efforts demonstrate the parties' responsibility toward society and the state.

The two countries are working together to strengthen governance of the maritime sector within the framework of the European Union and the International Maritime Organisation
