#koukakis

This week’s newsletter from AthensLive is out:

* How Google exposed the Greek government's lies  *The Communist Party thrives at student elections after 35 years * Mitsotakis speaks in US Congress after promising fighter-jet purchase 

- are the main headlines to be found inside this highly informative weekly must-read from and about Greece.

Google exposed the Greek government by officially revealing that they had bought Predator surveillance software, which had infected journalist Koukakis’s mobile. At the same time, the European Parliament deleted a tweet with the RSF report on Press Freedom, ranking Greece at the EU bottom. This happened apparently at the orders of EU Parliament President Roberta Metsola. For the first time after 35 whole years, the Communist Party-affiliated students’ party Panspoudastiki won the student elections. The result is refuted only by ND and its student branch, DAP. At the same time, it is revealed that the University police, which is about to be installed, would be armed. Kyriakos Mitsotakis's speech at the US Congress marked a first-ever for a Greek PM, and it was preceded by talks for new arms purchases - this time from the US.
