The Hellenic Cultural Foundation is headless

Hour zero for the Hellenic Cultural Foundation after the resignation of its Board of Directors, which was accepted by the Minister of Culture Mr. Pavlos Geroulanos. The crisis in the institution has been simmering for some time, culminating in the announcement of the president of Mr. Giorgos Babiniotis, who had reported to the meeting of the Standing Parliamentary Committee on Educational Affairs on 26 January, that the budget of the EIP is not sufficient for its operation and for this reason, in case it does not increase, the members of D. S. they will resign.
However, the institution's budget for the current year is 1.800.000 euro, as stated in his announcement by the Minister of Culture. "The D. S. of the Hellenic Cultural Foundation, considers that it cannot ensure the operation of the Foundation with a budget 1.800.000 euros for the current year. We can't, therefore, than to accept the resignations of its members", noted in the announcement.
Following this, the operation of the branch of the Hellenic Cultural Foundation in Berlin is probably being extended, which Mr. Babiniotis was about to close, due to excessive operating costs with the prospect of keeping the branches in Alexandria open, Belgrade, Bucharest, Melbourne, Odessa, Sofia, Trieste and Tirana.
To redefine the role of the institution in the promotion of Greek culture, something that has long been necessary, however, the Minister of Culture speaks in his announcement, who should form the new Board of Directors.

Athina Economakou is having a hard time

Athena Oikonomaku may have taken off Xenia's black wig, but it seems that the role of the "villain" will haunt her for quite a long time. The actress spoke to "Ola" about her personal life and about everyone who comments on her.

"It's not bad at all to be in love, I tell a lot of people whether I am or not, from then on I don't need to go out and announce it publicly. Since it is not a relationship that is close to marriage, to formalize or a child, why should I say that?;» asked Athina Economikou, who confessed that she has often been irritated by publications referring to her personal life.
While she did not hide that several times a section of the press has irritated her quite a bit, "Every journalist, every rascal who doesn't do his job right, in my opinion, apart from some I value and who are very serious, he finds an opportunity to take my statement, to distort it, to complete, to comment, to judge… All this bothers me a lot. Something that can be commented on by ten people that maybe I don't appreciate and para’ a lot of people will hear all this".
