In his first public remarks after leaving active politics, during a book presentation, former conservative premier Costas Karamanlis spoke about Greek-Turkish relations.

With the fast track negotiation process, and without prior publication, the project concerning the constructions for the security of the existing unfinished infrastructure to the diversion projects of Acheloos as well as the implementation of a monitoring plan for the safety of the unfinished projects of the Sykia Dam was contracted out.

The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Mr. Costas Karamanlis, spoke about e-mobility as a key pillar of transport development in Greece, at the 5th E-mobility Conference.

The first axis of the planning of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is the renewal of the aging fleet of cars in Greece. At all levels: private cars, taxis, public transport.

The contract for the northern part of the E65 highway will be signed tomorrow, as announced by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Mr. Costas Karamanlis, speaking to Parapolitika 90.1 FM. "A very big effort has been made in the last 23 months, we have worked intensively to unblock projects that we found "stuck".

The time for the public work project of the decade has arrived. The contract for the construction of the first phase of the new Line 4 of the Athens metro, which will connect the Veikou Grove in Galatsi with Goudi, will be signed tonight, in the presence of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is opening space for the first construction sites of Line 4 of the Athens metro. The gears that will set in motion the largest construction project in the country, with a budget of 1.8 billion euros, have begun to move. The subway is starting to wake up to get to work, starting in 2022, in the center of the capital after more than fifteen years.

Recently, three former US presidents - Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama - announced that they would get the coronavirus vaccine, and offered to do so publicly to help better inform and persuade Americans who are skeptical about its safety.

Starting Monday, "passenger assistants" will be deployed at 45 Athens metro stations to remind passengers to put on their masks and to make sure there is no overcrowding, Transport Minister Costas Karamanlis told TV station Ant1 Thursday.

The three trends within the ruling party are well known and are generally represented by current Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and former premiers Antonis Samaras and Costas Karamanlis.

Costas Karamanlis' recent talks in Thessaloniki and London have triggered a lot of discussion. This was only to be expected given the suddenness of his reappearance; a lot was written and said about the matter, and many questions were raised. Meanwhile, the former conservative prime minister's supporters were delighted by his presence on the political scene.
