Socialist PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis has submitted a no-confidence vote in the government, following a newspaper report alleging that evidence from the Tempe railway disaster was tampered with.

In tabling the motion, Androulakis accused the government of "systematically undermining the rule of law."

Greece's main opposition party on Tuesday condemned recent comments by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan concerning Cyprus and called for an official response from Athens.

The recent economic proposals announced by main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance and its leader Stefanos Kasselakis would come at "a huge economic cost" and are "entirely uncosted and without planning, or even checked for compatibility with European laws," according to a joint announcement released by Deputy National Economy and Finance Ministers Harry Theoharis and Thanos Petralias on Fr
