The Greek Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) government has chartered a series of 25 tax measures against corruption and tax evasion. These measures seek to find justice and reparation for a series of scandals that have remained unresolved since 2000. The party has also committed to confiscate property that has not been registered in Greece and abroad.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Theodoros Pangalos sparked a row on Tuesday by calling for SYRIZA’s candidate for the Attica governorship Rena Dourou to pose in a bikini.

Speaking on Vima FM, Pangalos voiced his objection to fly-posting by Dourou’s campaign team.

“Is she putting her poster up because she thinks she is good-looking?» said the ex-PASOK veteran.

Socialist veteran Theodoros Pangalos said on Monday that he plans to press charges against Avgi newspaper for reporting that, as foreign minister, he turned in Kurdish guerrilla leader Abdullah Ocalan to the Turkish intelligence service in 1999.
