Thessaloniki International Fair

Nikos Pappas, the leader of SYRIZA’s Parliamentary Group, held the traditional press conference as part of the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF).

Mr. Pappas represented SYRIZA at the TIF following the removal of Stefanos Kasselakis from the party’s leadership, after the meeting of the Central Committee.

SYRIZA is making a dynamic appearance, with nearly the entire Political Secretariat and most MPs from the main opposition attending the morning meeting with the management of the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) HELEXPO.

On Saturday afternoon, Kyriakos Mitsotakis toured the facilities of the 88th TIF–Helexpo, with Germany being the guest of honor this year.

Among other stops, the Prime Minister visited the recycling, environment, and ecosystem protection booth, followed by a demonstration of drones by the Greek Army.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will outline the government's policy agenda on Saturday night at the opening of the 88th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF).

German Ambassador Andreas Kindl on Thursday presented Germany's participation as honored country at the 88th Thessaloniki International Fair that will be held on September 7-15, in the context of the joint press conference with the organizer TIF-HELEXPO in the hall of the old Stock Exchange.

The 87th Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF) opened on Saturday without the formal inauguration and press conference on Sunday by the prime minister, who has postponed his appearance due to the deadly storm this past week and a state of emergency in several areas.

Conservative former prime minister Antonis Samaras has tested positive for Covid-19 and will therefore not be attending the 87th Thessaloniki International Fair (Sept. 9-17) and the prime minister's speech, government sources said on Tuesday.

The annual Fair is where prime ministers present the basic parameters of their four-year government plan. 

Bulgaria has officially accepted the offer to be the honored country of the 87th Thessaloniki International Fair, which is to be held between 9 and 17 September 2023, according to the president of TIF-Helexpo Anastassios Tzikas on Thursday.
