Leventis

The restoration of an 8th or 9th century Byzantine church on the Aegean island of Naxos is one of 29 recipients of the European Union's prestigious Europa Nostra cultural heritage awards for 2018.

Coalition partner Panos Kammenos has rejected conservative opposition calls for an early general election, while adding that the Union of Centrists would be a welcome government partner.

Centrists Union leader Vasilis Leventis, a cult figure in the world of Greek politics, suddenly made his way to Greek Parliament. Once the butt of jokes, Leventis has not only shown that persistence pays off, but he has also earned respect.

Union of Centrists leader Vassilis Leventis said that there is a possibility to support, and even participate in the government of Alexis Tsipras.

In order to do this, Mr. Leventis set as a condition Panos Kammenos not to be part of the government.

“If he ends the cooperation with Kammenos, I will support the government,” he said to Parapolitika FM.
