  • Reshaping Politics of the Left and Centre in Greece After the 2014 EP Election Filippa Chatzistavrou and Sofia Michalaki
    Commentary No. 21/ 10 September 2014 Reshaping politics of the left and centre in Greece after the 2014 EP election Filippa Chatzistavrou and Sofia Michalaki he European Parliament elections in Greece earlier this year highlighted a conundrum: that of minority political parties struggling to mobilise voters in the event of snap national elections in T spring 2015. The political landscape is confused and volatile; the right and extreme-right on the political spectrum are accorded a disproportionately large place in political debate, while ideological positioning by the centre and centre-left does not seem to be a major concern for political analysts. The radical left-wing SYRIZA party is attempting to maintain a ‘leftist’ profile while demonstrating its capacity to govern through a strategy of image normalisation. SYRIZA faces a profound challenge in defining a modern political programme in which policy-specific party positions will be clearly identified, and in which political engagement can be matched with concrete political proposals. This conundrum looks even more insoluble in the face of internal criticism about attempts by the party leadership to broaden its electoral base to be more inclusive. Electoral winners and political losers from across the spectrum Official electoral results showed SYRIZA to be the winner of the 2014 EP election. But if we look more closely at the results and compare them to those of the last national elections (2012), we see that despite a spectacular launch in 2012, SYRIZA recorded a loss of more than 100,000 votes in the EP election. This loss could partly be attributed to poor voter turnout, although traditionally in Greece the opposition significantly increases its vote share in EP elections.

  • The Name Dispute in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia After the Signing of the Interim Accord
    THE NAME DISPUTE IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA AFTER THE SIGNING OF THE INTERIM ACCORD Aristotle Tziampiris 1. Introduction The issue of the precise name of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)1 dominated foreign policy in both Greece and its newly constituted neighbour throughout the first half of the 1990’s. The unwillingness of both sides to a mutually acceptable solution created an explosive, emotionally charged situation. Its consequences were far-reaching for international relations and for the domestic political scene in both countries.2 –––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1. Use of the term FYROM is in conformity with UN Security Council Resolution 817 of 7 April 1993, according to which “this State [will be] provisionally referred to for all purposes within the United Nations as “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” pending settlement of the difference that has arisen over the name of the State”. 2. For analyses of diplomatic and political developments during this period, see Evangelos Kofos “Greek Foreign Policy Considerations over FYROM Independence and Recognition” in James Pettifer (ed.), The New Macedonia Question, London, 1999; Michalis Papakonstantinou, A Politician’s Journal, 226 Aristotle Tziampiris The signing of the Interim Accord in New York on 13 September 1995 proved to be the turning point for the subsequent rapprochement between Greece and FYROM.3 This article/ chapter analyses developments in FYROM relating to the name dispute during the period that followed the signature of the Interim Accord. The diplomatic problem and ensuing conflict began on 8 September 1991, when the Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia held a referendum on its independence.

  • To Deputy Minister of Finance, Theodoros Skylakakis CC: Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis Minister of Finance, Christos Staikou
    To Deputy Minister of Finance, Theodoros Skylakakis CC: Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis Minister of Finance, Christos Staikouras The European Commission Recovery and Resilience Task Force (RECOVER) Athens, Tuesday 23rd March 2021 Open letter about the Greek Recovery and Resilience Plan: opacity and lack of participation Dear Mr. Minister, The signatory Civil Society Organisations would like to express our concerns about the opacity in the design and adoption of the Greek Recovery and Resilience Plan. The EU recovery plan is a huge opportunity for member states to address the economic and social consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and to create greener and fairer societies that are resilient to future challenges. At this critical time when the pandemic is affecting millions of lives and especially the most vulnerable populations, it is very important that such an opportunity is not missed. The absence of broad social participation in the formulation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan worries us intensely. We recall that under Article 18.4 (q) of the Recovery and Resilience Facility Regulation, member states must include "a summary of the consultation process carried out with local and regional authorities, social partners, civil society organisations, youth organisations and other relevant stakeholders for the preparation and implementation of the plan and information on how the input of stakeholders is reflected in the plan." So far however, planning procedures for the Recovery and Resilience Plan have starkly contrasted the spirit of this regulation. More specifically: 1. The virtual public consultation on the "Strategic Directions of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan" posted by the Ministry of Finance on 25 November 2020 consisted only of a general text with unclear terms and lacked a roadmap for implementation.
