  • To: Dr. Ursula Von Der Leyen President of the European Commission Cc: Ms. Věra Jourová Vice-President for Values A
    To: Dr. Ursula von der Leyen President of the European Commission cc: Ms. Věra Jourová Vice-President for Values and Transparency Athens, 16 April 2021 Subject: Ensuring journalists’ safety and physical integrity in the EU Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Jourová, We are writing to you in relation to the brutal killing of the Greek journalist George Karaivaz. It is regrettably another despicable act, which follows the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia in Malta in 2017 and of Ján Kuciak in Slovakia in 2018. Physical threats and violence against journalists have been, unfortunately, on the rise. These crimes can lead to media’s self-censorship and therefore, have a grave chilling effect on freedom of expression, as enshrined in Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Press has a vital role to play in the functioning of a democratic society. Journalists’ public watchdog role is crucial for a democratic society, based on the rule of law. Moreover, it has an instrumental role in ensuring an open and vigorous public debate, thereby reinforcing the public’s trust in our democratic processes. In this regard, we need to do away with the sense of impunity for crimes against journalists. Therefore, we call upon you to use all means at your disposal towards guaranteeing the safety and physical integrity of journalists in the EU. This includes a swift adoption of a Recommendation on the safety of journalists, as outlined in the 2020 European Democracy Action Plan. The Recommendation should have a significant focus on threats against women journalists, who are also increasingly subject to online and offline threats.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 Greek politics in 2019 Following 4,5 years of SYRIZA (and Independent Greeks) administration, Greece saw a governmental change in 2019. The conservative New Democracy won the national election of 5 July and Kyriakos Mitsotakis became the new prime minister. While the first semester of the year was full with political tensions in view of the national election, the second was relatively calm. The government of New Democracy enjoyed a grace period and was not encountered with significant political challenges. The law allowing Greeks living abroad to vote was one of its successes and received broad political support. 2019 was an election year for Greece. All opinion polls were suggesting that the governing SYRIZA party would lose the national election to the main opposition New Democracy party. This happened in July indeed. The way until the national election was full with political tensions. The year started with the coalition government of SYRIZA-Independent Greek charting separate courses after 4,5 years of close cooperation. The main reason for the divorce was the opposition of the leader of Independent Greeks and Defense Minister Panos Kammenos to the Prespes Agreement signed between Greece and North Macedonia. When this Agreement came to the Greek Parliament for approval, Kammenos withdrew his support to the Greek government.

Along with ground penetrating radar (GPR), which is a fully non-destructive method, a number of electrical resistivity tomographies (ERTs) were carried out. Bentonite mud electrodes were used instead of metal stakes, in order to comply with the non-destructive character of the whole operation. Our aim was to study the subsurface geological structures at the location of the mosque, and to detect and possibly map any ancient remains concealed under the monument. Both ERT and GPR results indicated a distinct, near surface horizontal discontinuity which was attributed to the presence of an ancient floor at the atrium area of the mosque. This floor was then revealed after a subsequent excavation. Moreover, high resistivity anomalies and distinct GPR signals were observed deeper at the atrium area. They are attributed to possible voids, remains of ancient walls, or other man-made structures concealed under the floor of the monument.
