Theodorakis

To Potami has decided to join forces with Decision Time, a new political movement set up by former socialist heavyweights Anna Diamantopolou, Yiannis Ragousis and Giorgos Floridis, the flagging centrist party said late Sunday.

A 300-strong choir will pay tribute to the great Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis at the Athens Concert Hall on Monday, February 6, and Tuesday, February 7, with a monumental show of his choral works and poems set to music.

A shocking 18-minute video illustrates the appalling conditions refugees are living in at the Moria hotspot on the island of Lesvos, while also highlighting the Greek government’s incompetence to provide them with warm shelter in the recent extreme weather front that has hit the country.

Centrist Potami was left with eight MPs in Greece's 300-seat Parliament on Monday after the deputy Katerina Markou announced her departure from the party, complaining at the refusal of leader Stavros Theodorakis to cooperate with other parties.

In a letter to Theodorakis, Markou announced her withdrawal and said she would be standing as an independent MP.

New York-based Greek-born composer Pericles Kanaris presents "Aoratos" (Invisible), an album based on lyrics by acclaimed Greek poet-lyricist Manos Eleftheriou, at the Pallas Theater in Athens on Wednesday, November 23.

Pianist-composer Stefanos Korkolis performs works by Mikis Theodorakis at the Ianos bookstore in central Athens on Saturday, November 12. Joining him on stage is singer Sofia Manousaki, cellist Mariliza Papadouri, barrel organ player Theodoros Zisis and woodwind soloist Vassilis Defigos. The event starts at 9.30 p.m. and admission costs 10 euros.

A verdict by the country's highest administrative court on Wednesday night overturning a recent tender of broadcasting licenses is a "dire political defeat" for the leftist-led government, opposition New Democracy said on Thursday.

A Greek flag is raised by members of the Presidential Guard next to the Parthenon on the hill of the Acropolis, during a ceremony on Wednesday marking the 72nd anniversary of the liberation of Athens from the Nazi occupation, which lasted from April 1941 through to October 1944.

To Potami deputy Haris Theoharis, the former general secretary for public revenues, revealed Tuesday that he is leaving the centrist party to continue as an independent MP.

In a letter to Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis, Theoharis said that he had become disillusioned with the party and felt that it is not providing the voters that supported it with "something new."

Manipulation of justice was the favorite sport of all governments, said Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis during his speech at parliamentary debate on justice issues.

Apparently, he said, it is this government’s priority, too.
