Fofi Gennimata

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has been "unrepentant and provocative" in his appearances at the Thessaloniki International Fair, where he gave a keynote speech on Saturday and is answering questions from the press on Sunday, Movement for Change (KINAL) chief Fofi Gennimata said.

Democratic Alliance leader Fofi Gennimata on Thursday submitted in Parliament a proposal for legislation that would revoke a scheduled further set of cuts to pensions in January 2019. 

The Communist Party is also submitted an amendment seeking the revocation of the same planned cuts. 

The moves come as party leaders prepare for a debate on post-bailout austerity in Greece. 

EU Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici will visit Athens on July 2-3 as a followup to the comprehensive deal achieved at the Eurogroup on June 21 on the completion of Greece's third bailout program, the Commission said in a press release.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras ruled out the possibility of early elections on Wednesday, saying they would jeopardize Greece's exit from its third bailout.

Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias on Monday was to start briefing party leaders on the progress of his talks in Vienna last week with his counterpart from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Nikola Dimitrov, on ongoing United-Nations mediated talks on the "Macedonia" name issue.

Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias is planning to brief party leaders on developments in talks with his counterpart from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on Monday or Tuesday.

The center-left party Movement for Change has unveiled a set of proposed changes to the Greek Constitution, recommending that the process be initiated by the current Parliament.

Fofi Gennimata, the leader of the party which held its inaugural congress over the weekend, urged ruling SYRIZA and main opposition New Democracy to clarify their positions on the proposed reforms.

New Democracy appears to be considering a proposal by Constitutional Law Professor Nikos Alivizatos for a "mini-review" of the Greek Constitution that could be initiated by the main opposition party and the Movement for Change coalition of centrist and center-left parties.

Greece's new center-left Movement for Change wrapped up its inaugural conference in Athens on Saturday. Officials unveiled the party's new logo, a rose in red, blue and green.

Earlier, the party's charter and policy program was approved by the overwhelming majority of members.

The Greek government has "completed its lifecycle" and anyone who helps it stay in power will be making a "historic mistake," Athens Mayor Giorgos Kaminis, who is also a member of the new center-left Movement for Change's political council, said on Friday in response to a question about whether he would consider working with the ruling leftist SYRIZA party.
