GEORGE PAPANDREOU : He denies the report of lavish vacations

The answer given by the former prime minister is harsh, with a statement issued by his office, to the newspaper “Democracy” categorically denying the publication which spoke of a luxurious vacation of him and his wife in a luxury hotel in Crete, in fact according to which, George Papandreou was paying 1.020 euros per night.

According to the announcement, the Papandreou couple is indeed staying in a hotel in Chania “but the price they pay is infinitely less than that reported in the publications”.

In fact, as stated in the announcement, the former prime minister, “he asked to pay the relevant price despite the initial proposal from the hotel management to accommodate him”.

Subsequently, the office of the former prime minister directly attacks the Dimokratia newspaper saying that they had no intention of dealing with publications of the newspaper in question again as they had done with the “downcast” as the publication of August 5 characterizes it but “this time though, the playback line of the alleged news item matters, without crossing, without even seeking to know the truth, which clearly testifies to those willing to contribute for their own known reasons to the mud against George Papandreou”.

In the framework of the answer, the officials of the office take the opportunity to refer to the overall work of the former Prime Minister from their own point of view.

“But we would like to take this opportunity, to inform any interested party that, we are fully aware of the reasons why the so-called servants of truth and justice are cut off.

We Greeks managed to keep Greece standing and in the euro for two years, when the previous ND government had deserted, when everyone abroad had finished us and when Greece normally, every Greek, he would have experienced the national tragedy of violent bankruptcy since his May 2010.

And indeed, we made it in the worst possible conditions.

With the primary deficit at 25 and not in 4-5 billion euros, which we managed to be today, with political conflict in Greece over the major and necessary reforms, which was primarily cultivated by those who today represent the honorees, without government cooperation, without Hollande, without Modi in the EU. without an aggressively active ECB in bond markets, without understanding that the problem is not just Greece but the weaknesses of the Eurozone.

Is, Well, the fears of the initiators and authors of these smears are understandable, which far exceed those of the confirmation of George Papandreou's choices, that every day they see that reality itself emerges” they say in conclusion.

Technopolis

Yannis Kotsiras and Estoudiantina, for a concert in Technopolis

The "Technopolis" of the Municipality of Athens will host Giannis Kotsiras, who, together with the Studiadina of Nea Ionia Volos, will present a concert entitled "The Smyrna of Love", who wake up 90 years of memory with Smyrna songs, at 6 September 2012.

ORCHESTRA ARTISTIC DIRECTOR : ANDREAS KATSIGIANNIS
Performers Thodoris Mermigas and Irini Tumbakis participate

The Student of Nea Ionia Volos and Yiannis Kotsiras , on the occasion of 90 years of memory in Smyrna and the recent release of their album "SMYRNI TOU EROTA", present on Thursday, September 6 at "Technopolis" of the Municipality of Athens on 21:00 a great concert dedicated to the folk tradition and artistic creation of Smyrna. The show's repertoire consists of songs that have marked the 20s, while their traces reach up to World War II. Where can I find a woman who looks like you?, Beautiful Smyrnia,  Antonis Varkaris, Misirlou, The Gelekaki, Micromarried etc.  Elements so different from each other become one in the music that flourishes at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th in the region of Istanbul and Izmir. Songs that were the forerunner of Piraeus [rebetiki] school, σπουδαίων συνθετών, such as Kostas Skarvelis, Δημήτρης Σέμσης, Panagiotis Toundas, Σπύρος Περιστέρης, Νίκος Ρουμπάνης, Yannis Dragatsis or Ogdontakis, Γιάννης Νταλγκάς, Κώστας Κοφινιώτης, Apostolos Hatzichristos and quite traditionally unknown authors. These songs were not written only in Smyrna. They are songs that have every kind of connection with Smyrna. Είτε γράφτηκαν εκεί, whether they come from Smyrna creators in the Greek area.

Η καταστροφή του 1922 after all, was to change the course of Greek history in many ways. Ανάμεσα στα άλλα, he was supposed to bring the great masters of Smyrna from the shores of Asia Minor to cross their art with the Greek musicians. The music performed by the Students, the orchestras that were the biggest "study" where great Asia Minor creators taught and learned, arrived in Greece around 1870, at first on the outskirts of Athens and very soon it also conquered the center of the city of Athens. This kind of orchestra became the first and most authentic musical bridge, harmoniously combining the disparate nationalities, musically, cultural and creative elements of two such different worlds.

The proposed performance is a modern interpretation approach, with one of the most important Greek performers, Yiannis Kotsiras and with the Nea Ionia Volos School under the artistic direction of Andreas Katsigiannis, an excellent orchestra that genuinely and sensitively continues the tradition of the great orchestras that flourished in Asia Minor. With a Mediterranean temperament, excellent interpretations and with the orchestra's particular orchestral eye, the deep eroticism hidden in these songs is shown, with absolute respect for the original musical writing. Thodoris Mermigas and Irini Tumbaki participate in the interpretation.

After the new Corolla, it's the turn of the new Auris to be officially presented – since photos and information about the new Japanese small-medium hatchback had already leaked unofficially.

Το νέο Auris είναι ελαφρώς μακρύτερο και χαμηλότερο από το προηγούμενο μοντέλο, αναλογίες που σε συνδυασμό με την πιο δυναμική σχεδίαση του δίνουν μια σπορ εμφάνιση.

Η γκάμα κινητήρων δεν έχει γίνει ακόμη γνωστή και το πιθανότερο είναι πως θα αποτελείται από τους γνωστούς 1.33 and 1.6 gasoline, although motors are available in the Japanese market 1.5 and 1.8. Alongside the conventional versions, the hybrid version with their motor is also being launched 1,8 liter, while the 2014, new diesels are expected 1.6 and 2.0 σε συνεργασία με τη BMW. Το νέο Auris θα δώσει το παρών στην έκθεση του Παρισιού στα τέλη Σεπτεμβρίου, while its sales will start at the beginning of 2013.
