An inter-party committee that convenes at the Interior Ministry has decided that the sole parliamentary elections debate will be held on 1 July between PM and SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras, main opposition New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Movement for Change leader Fofi Gennimata, KKE Greek Communist Party leader Dimitris Koutsoumbas, and Centrists' Union leader Vasilis Leventis.

Greek Labor Minister George Katrougalos agreed on the creation of a basic pension worth 390 euros. His plans for the new pension rates are aimed at protecting low pension earners due to the restructuring (ie. cutbacks) of Greek pensions. The recommendations are to be put forth at the ministerial council on Tuesday.
