Greek PM Alexis Tsipras and French President Emmanuel Macron have arrived at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation where a closed meeting with members of the Greek and French business community is scheduled to take place.

The French president Emmanuel Macron vowed to lead a “rebuilding” of the European Union, warning that “sovereignty, democracy and trust are in danger” and that its citizens no longer understand the project during his speech at the Pnyx under the Acropolis.

Emmanuel Makron’s scheduled speech had to wait for a few minutes. Apparently some people were not happy seen him at the Agricultural Exhibition and threw…eggs on him!
His bodyguards protected his head while there was some pushing from enraged people. The previous incident was in a visit in a train station on 2016.
