We are referring to the political refugees of the Greek Civil War, who were excluded from general repatriation and live mainly in FYROM, and have the citizenship of this state. Andreas Loverdos: "…what functions as obstacles for the visit of these persons to Greece could very well be overcome in a simple but technical way. We are seeking a technical solution and have found a number of them." Journalist: This concerns the freedom to visit and communicate with relatives, which is the primary issue.

  • Political Crisis in Greece and Italy: a Comparative Analysis of SYRIZA and 5 Stars Movement
    Political Crisis in Greece and Italy: a comparative analysis of SYRIZA and 5 Stars Movement Raffaele Borreca PhD Candidate University of Peloponnese Department of Political Science and International Relations 1 Abstract The spaces opened by the economic and political crisis offered many rooms for manoeuvre to those opposition forces able to canalise in electoral terms the protest and translate its claims in specific demands or a coherent political narrative. Strong of their electoral results, the Greek SYRIZA and the Italian Five Stars Movement (M5S) assumed soon a pivotal role in their political systems. However, although the demands and the objectives of both SYRIZA and the M5S are, to a certain extent, similar, the two parties differ in terms of political background, ideology and internal organization. The success of the M5S trace its roots in the context of deep distrust against the political system reigning in Italy since the 1990s. In the M5S problematically coexist a grassroots direct democracy approach and the charismatic and substantially unchallenged leadership of the founder Beppe Grillo. The capability of the radical left SYRIZA to convey the anti–Memorandum contestation and its constitution in an unitarian party following the 2012 elections reaffirmed the centrality of the traditional mass party in the Greek democratic representation. However, its electoral drive towards the centre poses major ideological challenges. Finally, the scepticism towards the European governance of both parties cannot be mistaken for anti-europeism. SYRIZA and the M5S canalized the protest from the streets to the national Parliament giving democratic representation to the contestation and contributing in the politicisation of the European polity.

  • Part Xiv: 1 915-1928
    PART XIV: 1 915-1928 For many years one of Keene's most famous institutions, and among the most renowned in New England, was the Cheshire House. The fine art of good plain food, established by host Morgan J. Sher- man in the 1880's, was carried on by Judson A. Reynolds after the turn of the century. Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone were among the celebrities who enjoyed the matchless fare of this Keene hotel. Another patron of the hotel was President Cal- vin Coolidge who, with his party, passed through the city on July 1, 1925. To the rear of the massive mahogany desk of the hotel was the maroon-tinted dining room where sturdy square tables, the sheen of soft linen, and heavy china set the scene of an older, more leisurely life with its solid, substantial New England fare. The traffic along Main Street and the noise of the Square were forgotten here, where steaming dishes and the clatter of heavy silver created an oasis from a hectic world. The menu over the years reflected the uncompromising appre- ciation of quality: tomato juice, cherrystone clams, choice of cold tomato bouillon, beef broth or vegetable soup to begin a meal, and no less than 25 various fish dishes. While the art of cooking fish was highly refined, New England boiled dinner, corned beef and cabbage, boiled calf's head with brain sauce, sirloin steak smothered in onions, or roast native veal with dressing proved adventures in good eating. The breakfast menu, described by the New Yorker magazine as the longest in the world, offered a variety of standard fare plus venison, pickled pigs' feet, and duck.

Passas Introduction1 This chapter focuses on the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and seeks to trace the origin and the content of its preferences on European integration since its establishment in 1974. It challenges the established view that – couched as it is in PASOK’s rhetoric in the immediate post-1974 era – construes PASOK as an initially instinctively anti-European political party that subsequently performed a policy U- turn, a true political transformation by turning from a vocal anti-EEC stance to a pro- European (even federalist) attitude (Tsardanidis 1998, 295, 299, 300; Kazakos 1994, 5; Verney 1987, 259-60, 263; Featherstone 1988, 178; Couloumbis 1993, 126; Featherstone 1994, 158-9).

  • Greece: a Never-Ending Story of Mutual Attraction and Estrangement
    2444Ch7 3/12/02 2:03 pm Page 166 7 Nikos Frangakis and Antonios D. Papayannides Greece: a never-ending story of mutual attraction and estrangement Introduction: European and Greek identity: an ambivalent relationship and a gateway to modernity When dealing with Greek attitudes towards the process of European inte- gration, one should still bear in mind that in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, Euroscepticism – or even plain anti-European feelings – reigned in a large segment of both the elites and public opinion at large. Communists and radical Socialists depicted European integration as a subjugation mechanism mainly serving US interests – ‘the EEC and NATO are the same barracks’, to translate freely a slogan of that times. Given that after the fall of the Colonels’ regime in the mid-1970s, there was important anti-American sentiment in Greece, Europe was consequently tainted by the same negative feelings. Moreover, power in the European Communities was perceived as residing in an excluding ‘directorate’ that was to be impervious to the needs of a small country like Greece. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Conservative/Nea Dimocratia party of Costas Karamanlis, which had the initiative for Greek accession, openly considered integration into the Community as proof that Greece ‘belongs to the West’. It was only when the ruling Socialist/PASOK party progressively adopted a pro-European stance – after initiating a much- discussed renegotiation of Greek accession – that the present situation of almost Euroenthusiasm surfaced in Greece. At the end of the 1990s, the Union was seen in Greece1 as a gateway to modernity, as a source of financial assistance (mainly for infrastructure-building) and as a stabilis- ing force in foreign policy.2 Today, only the ‘orthodox’ Communist Party is openly anti-Union, while a hard-line splinter of the Socialists (DIKKI) also has clearly nega- tive reflexes.
