00:01:57Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Good Sunday morning.
00:02:00September 20th, I wasn't even sure, I had to
00:02:04see it. 10 days left until the first month of
00:02:07autumn ends. How do the days pass so quickly? I don't know if you feel it too.
00:02:11I feel like time is running and we are chasing after it. Very nice
00:02:14dawn. See the beautiful lights here from the Sky camera above. With a lot of traffic
00:02:18ladies and gentlemen this morning. Many cars and weddings. We saw
00:02:21cars with ribbons. Be careful on your return.
00:02:25Be careful with driving and if you have drunk it, leave it better. Take a
00:02:29taxi.
00:02:32I hope you are all well. We are here together and we will be for a full
00:02:36four hours with a lot of news and nice
00:02:39connections and we will have everything today and I remind you ladies and
00:02:43gentlemen that if you want to contact us, if you want to send a
00:02:46message, a photo, a question,
00:02:49an inquiry, a complaint, we are here, we have opened and we
00:02:52are waiting for you in all possible
00:02:56access sources, Facebook good morning, Greek characters, Instagram,
00:03:012026 and of course the show's emails
00:03:03sky.gr.
00:03:06I see the messages have arrived, in a little while we will make the connection to
00:03:09air them. Sunrise today at
00:03:137:11 in the morning and sunset at
00:03:1619:25. This ordeal of getting dark from 5 in the
00:03:20afternoon slowly begins. Day length
00:03:2312:14 minutes. So we will proceed with the
00:03:27day getting shorter and shorter until the time changes again. And we will
00:03:31have night from 5 as I said. Let's look at the
00:03:34weather a bit, in some areas today, ladies and gentlemen, there will be completely
00:03:37summer temperatures, it will even reach 32°. In
00:03:41some others however, like here in Attica, it will even be
00:03:44cloudy, I have them here and I am cheating a bit, it says, a few scattered
00:03:48clouds are expected in Attica with winds up to 5 Beaufort and
00:03:52up to 30° here in the capital, the temperature.
00:03:55The suitable person to tell us in detail is Panagiotis Giannopoulos, let's go and
00:03:59listen to him.
00:04:08Good morning. Today, Sunday, the weather in our country will initially be generally clear. In the
00:04:11afternoon, however, local clouds will develop in the mainland and in areas such
00:04:15as Epirus, Macedonia, Thessaly, local showers or
00:04:19isolated thunderstorms will occur. The northern winds in the Aegean will be strengthened, they will have an intensity of
00:04:22six and locally even more. The temperature will not
00:04:26change significantly and will again remain at levels higher than normal, it will...
00:04:30reach 30° in mainland areas. In Attica, the weather
00:04:33will be generally mild with a few clouds at noon, the temperature will range from 18-30°,
00:04:37the northern winds in the Nevoikos will locally reach 6 Beaufort. In
00:04:41Thessaloniki, the weather is expected to be generally clear at the beginning of the day, later local
00:04:44clouds will develop and in the afternoon, mainly in the surrounding mountains, some local
00:04:48showers or isolated thunderstorms will occur, the winds will be light, the temperature from 17
00:04:52to 29°. On
00:04:54Monday again, the day will start with a clear sky, but in the afternoon we will have
00:04:58local clouds and some.
00:05:01Mainly mountainous mainland areas, the northern winds of the Aegean
00:05:05will not exceed 6 Beaufort. In the Ionian, the northern winds will be up to
00:05:075, the temperature will not change and again at
00:05:11noon the thermometer will. Pass 30° in mainland
00:05:14areas. On Tuesday, however, we expect initially some rain, some showers in the
00:05:17northern parts of the country, later it will rain in the central parts of the country, on
00:05:21Wednesday the rains and local thunderstorms will be less, the important thing for
00:05:25Tuesday will be the drop in temperature, the thermometer will drop by three to
00:05:285° and will remain at these levels on Wednesday as well.
00:05:32This was the latest on the weather, be all
00:05:34well.
00:05:43The only salvation this year with the energy crisis and with prices
00:05:46soaring is for the weather to remain mild, so we don't have a very harsh
00:05:50winter, otherwise I think the situation will be very depressing. Look at this
00:05:54beautiful shot from outside, look at the Parthenon,
00:05:57lit up, beautiful in the night, with the camera from the
00:06:01Sky building reaching there and giving us this
00:06:04beautiful image. Very nice, Lefteris
00:06:07Theodorakopoulos in our company, we have breaking news, good morning
00:06:11Lefteris, we start. First with fires, we have a fire at this moment in
00:06:14Nea Makri, we also had one in Marousi, fortunately they managed to
00:06:18put it out.
00:06:20Happy Sunday Fai, happy Sunday to you, to everyone, our viewers, in the studio,
00:06:24in the control room, to everyone. So, at this moment, a fire is
00:06:27in progress in Nea Makri. The first information said that it was
00:06:31dry grass. Subsequently, after we contacted the fire department, it was a
00:06:35fire in a stable. As we speak,
00:06:3930 firefighters and 10 vehicles are operating, however, the image
00:06:42they have from the fire department is that in a little while this fire
00:06:45will be brought under control and is not a cause for concern. Now,
00:06:49last night, opposite the OTE building in Marousi, a
00:06:53fire had broken out in dry
00:06:56grass, where the fire department intervened, the
00:06:59firefighters intervened and brought it under control quickly. This happened
00:07:03around 11-11:30 at night, so there is no cause for concern. Again,
00:07:06good. Now, in Marousi, there are also some areas that are outside the plan, I don't know what
00:07:10it is, it's like a village now. You tell us it's uncleaned, even though
00:07:14we knew all this time that there was a need for it to be
00:07:17cleaned either by the owners or by the municipality. Now, imagine
00:07:21ladies and gentlemen, in the center of Marousi, opposite OTE, to
00:07:25have such issues. Fortunately, they managed to put it out.
00:07:28All's well that ends well. Let's go to Agios Stefanos, Lefteris, with a
00:07:32video you secured. A terrifying video. A
00:07:35woman is in her house and while she is normally in her
00:07:39living room, burglars entered.
00:07:43Four men enter who thought no one was
00:07:47home. At some point, as you can see, let's
00:07:50hear it and you'll tell us everything. Yes, yes.
00:08:14Come on, my Lefteris, then let
00:08:17me start differently, because listening to the woman, each
00:08:21of us is shocked, and with what despair she asks for help, because at that
00:08:25moment they entered her space, they desecrated her house, it was
00:08:28four men who entered her house at 9:20 in the
00:08:32evening, they thought no one was there, at some point they had not even
00:08:36realized there were cameras, obviously, at some point one
00:08:39decides, after seeing the alarm, to... disable
00:08:42it, so he climbs on the table and starts to disable the
00:08:45alarm, at that moment the alarm rings, the
00:08:49woman realizes that someone is entering the house, she probably saw them on the cameras and that is
00:08:53when she starts shouting for help, this happened in Agios
00:08:56Stefanos at 9:20 in the evening, so
00:08:59you understand
00:09:01the
00:09:05anxiety. From the outside shots, it is also in a relatively central location, it is not
00:09:08secluded, it has lights, it has some movement, it has cars
00:09:12and...
00:09:15and suddenly all these people barge in, they set off the alarm, that's
00:09:18why we see the beacon extinguishing and the woman
00:09:21shocked, calling for help, police, help, thieves, police,
00:09:25help, thieves and the images are, are these,
00:09:29what followed after? If you're in the next room, if you're in the next
00:09:32room, you know there are four men and you're alone or
00:09:36four people who have entered your house with bad intentions and you're alone or
00:09:40by yourself, the fear not in. It takes over you and the terror
00:09:44is, is
00:09:46unprecedented.
00:09:49Uh, as far as we know, no, they didn't take anything from her,
00:09:53because the woman reacted instinctively and so they
00:09:56fled. Now, if they took something small as they left,
00:09:59fortunately she wasn't harmed, because it could have been very dangerous
00:10:03this direct contact of the burglars with the woman who was
00:10:06inside. And let's conclude now with Agios Panteleimon. Look
00:10:10here, images now, huh? They were hiding in a warehouse everything they had
00:10:14stolen, all the electrical
00:10:17appliances, so it was basically a warehouse of
00:10:20stolen goods. And how did the
00:10:23police discover this? As you can see from the footage, it was after they arrested a
00:10:2749-year-old and a 69-year-old man who had taken all these things and
00:10:31put them in this small warehouse. They were looking for an
00:10:34electrical appliance that had been reported stolen. So from the signal that
00:10:38they detected from this appliance, they found themselves in
00:10:42this vault, this semi-basement in Agios Panteleimon
00:10:46that no one can imagine. All this they had
00:10:48done was like a small shop of electrical goods that had inside
00:10:52computers, it had portable batteries, it had. A lot of very expensive
00:10:56mobile phones and all these things in Agios Panteleimon in
00:11:00a semi-basement downstairs. Fortunately, however, the police found them
00:11:04and they will even be returned to those who had
00:11:08reported them stolen all this time, their
00:11:11items and so they will find them from there, where
00:11:15no one expected that if I lost my phone, it would suddenly be found. How?
00:11:19Yes, it will be returned to the owners, this will be
00:11:22identified, yes, correctly. We will talk
00:11:26again in a little while, let's go ladies and gentlemen to Greek-Turkish relations,
00:11:30unfortunately we constantly have escalation and exacerbation
00:11:33from our neighbors. Yesterday we were here talking about Guler's statements,
00:11:37now we have Manolis Kostidis' full report, we have Fidan's statements,
00:11:41come on, let's see together what he said, if Greece proceeds with
00:11:44reckless actions, Turkey's strength is
00:11:48known. I have here the full report as
00:11:51recorded by Manolis Kostidis. We have close friends,
00:11:54he says. Among politicians in Greece many times they say
00:11:58that tomorrow will not be the same, but
00:12:01he, uh wait a minute, let me see it in detail as it is here. So
00:12:05the Turkish Foreign Minister said we absolutely do not accept the
00:12:09militarization of the islands, our armed forces are in a
00:12:12extremely sensitive situation, as is the coast guard,
00:12:16we hope that no one will proceed with any reckless
00:12:19action, it doesn't mean, he says, that we don't take existing
00:12:22threats seriously, our position is clear. Until
00:12:26the issues in the Aegean are resolved, meaning the issue of the continental shelf, and our
00:12:30position is clear on this, we are not in favor of
00:12:33creating tension, the region needs peace, not
00:12:37armaments, we have said this many times, war is not to
00:12:40anyone's benefit, the essential thing is peace, however,
00:12:44if and when necessary, our position is
00:12:47known to all, threats continue, as
00:12:51we see it
00:12:53positioned. The issue by both Gyular and Fidan
00:12:57and we have ahead of us, let's not forget, the story with the cable in Kassos, the
00:13:01electrical interconnection of Greece, Cyprus,
00:13:04Israel, and there is genuinely a concern
00:13:07about what Turkey's stance will be and how it will continue when these
00:13:11works begin. Now we have serious developments, ladies and
00:13:15gentlemen, in the United States, very serious developments on a number
00:13:18of issues, such as first and foremost the
00:13:22fact that he was forced to return urgently. To the White
00:13:25House, Mr. Trump and Michalis Ignatiou are with us to
00:13:29tell us why. Good morning my Michalis.
00:13:32Good morning Fae.
00:13:35It was sudden, of course, because the President was supposed to return on Sunday
00:13:39evening from Camp
00:13:41David. Where according to information, he went to
00:13:45decide with his associates what to do about the
00:13:48Houthi issue. The American presidency did not give
00:13:52explanations for the premature return of the President.
00:13:56You understand that rumors started as soon as
00:14:00it was announced and it was
00:14:02preceded by Saturday
00:14:05noon. A plane
00:14:08was detected
00:14:11near Camp David where
00:14:14the president was, so an
00:14:17f16 fighter jet intercepted the course of this
00:14:20aircraft because it entered prohibited airspace.
00:14:25As we said, near Camp David. So a very, very serious
00:14:29incident. It is a serious incident, but I don't think that is the
00:14:33reason he returned. Is it again from the Houthi attack in Saudi Arabia?
00:14:37Yes, we believe it is, because shortly
00:14:40before, the State Department issued a travel warning
00:14:44for the entire Middle East, for the entire Middle East. It called on
00:14:48American citizens who are within the
00:14:51region, to seriously reconsider the possibility of their travel.
00:14:56outside this region, meaning it asked American citizens
00:15:00to leave the specific countries
00:15:04of the Middle East and I see, Michalis, that they also informed
00:15:08and warned about possible flight cancellations, airspace
00:15:11closures, wider disruptions in air travel, so there is
00:15:15again a very serious issue after the attacks
00:15:19by the Houthis in Yemen, in Saudi Arabia.
00:15:22So, as we said, there are various. One
00:15:26hypothesis is that the president is considering
00:15:29striking to help Saudi Arabia,
00:15:32uh, because the Houthis on Saturday managed to
00:15:35strike even at...
00:15:39very close to Riyadh airport.
00:15:41Uh, the big problem is that the
00:15:45kingdom, one of the richest countries in the world, perhaps the
00:15:49richest, had not bothered to have
00:15:52air defense, to have obviously offensive
00:15:56fighters. Uh Turkey and Pakistan who
00:16:00promised to provide strategic assistance, uh
00:16:03somewhat forgot about it. There is only the...
00:16:08as you understand, but it alone cannot, it
00:16:12cannot confront this attack. No, it cannot, it is
00:16:15almost, it is almost almost impossible,
00:16:18because the Houthis are launching ballistic missiles,
00:16:22and who gave them the ballistic missiles? Iran, of course.
00:16:25Uh, meanwhile, there is also a rumor
00:16:29that Iran has given an advanced
00:16:33proposal for negotiations to begin
00:16:37from...
00:16:51We also saw the footage that Fox showed with Donald
00:16:54Trump's return that you described, very, very
00:16:57troubled, undoubtedly he seemed from then
00:17:00on there is also the problem of the
00:17:03huge argument that started with the.
00:17:09But Michalis, do we have the shots now? If Katerina Vachla can help us see them. I saw you yesterday, all alone in the
00:17:13room. I saw outside all the scenes that are there, the space
00:17:17now, you know it better, as a journalist. Here
00:17:20someone, yes, all this is
00:17:23exactly outside the White House press briefing
00:17:26room. The space where
00:17:30everything happens. All alone, yes.
00:17:33Yes, that's where it happens.
00:17:37Live, as you understand.
00:17:40Uh, it was forbidden, it was forbidden for CNN
00:17:44journalists, uh, Politico and
00:17:47MS, the television network, MSNBC, because the
00:17:50President believes that
00:17:54he supports, the President claims,
00:17:56that they constantly broadcast lies about him, about his
00:18:00presidency and so on. Uh, of course, this is not a reason to
00:18:03be now, so, so powerful.
00:18:16To 500 journalists, uh
00:18:19various justifications have been presented,
00:18:22uh one of the justifications is
00:18:26that they don't often come to the White House. The truth is, Fae, that we have to
00:18:30go at least four times a
00:18:33week.
00:18:35Uh, well, we go much more often. But you're there every day, we're not
00:18:39discussing it. You and Niki Georgatou are there every day. The point
00:18:43is that the president was given the opportunity to cut off a lot
00:18:46of people. Efforts are being made by journalistic
00:18:50associations to stop this
00:18:53situation, but the president is enraged. The
00:18:57image is terrifying, anyway. The image where you're all alone in the
00:19:00briefing room,
00:19:02all alone, cold, nothing and outside in the broadcasting
00:19:06areas of the report.
00:19:12The reason, look, the reason we went was more for solidarity
00:19:16with our colleagues who were outside the
00:19:19White House. I decided to also take a look inside to see
00:19:23what was happening and the truth is what you see, I was alone,
00:19:27so, of course, I didn't stay for long, just a few
00:19:30minutes, yes, because, because
00:19:34outside there were the CNN journalists,
00:19:40who were, are, are our
00:19:43colleagues, we saw them every day as
00:19:45you understand.
00:19:48Yes, it's terrible. Let's say that a
00:19:51big trial will start for this story. The
00:19:55media have asked
00:19:58judges in the capital, in the American
00:20:01capital, to take a stand. We believe that
00:20:04they will take a stand in favor of the journalists. Uh,
00:20:07related actions have also been taken. Yes, we hope, Fae, that this will
00:20:11change, because at the end of the day, we also have to
00:20:15decide what to do, it cannot be our
00:20:18colleagues, there must be a reaction, this stance cannot be accepted. You say from it that they cannot
00:20:21be outside and we inside, this cannot happen, either all inside or
00:20:25all outside, that's how it is, Michalis, we'll talk
00:20:29again, thank you for the prompt, for the full report, good morning,
00:20:33good morning. So, you see what is happening now. After the Houthi attack, ladies
00:20:36and gentlemen, in a global
00:20:39extreme situation regarding fuels, you will
00:20:42see it in a while, we have it here in the daily economic news that says expensive
00:20:46energy. The markets see it in
00:20:50spring, we were here yesterday talking to all our
00:20:53guests, we will talk about it today. What is happening is truly
00:20:57outrageous in most countries of the world, the price of fuel has almost
00:21:00doubled. You see what is happening here in Greece, where we are
00:21:04also awaiting government interventions. If this
00:21:07intensity continues, if installations are being hit, how much
00:21:10higher will fuel prices go and what will happen?
00:21:14Now, this is exactly what we will talk about with Ignati
00:21:17Vasilis, a business owner in New York. I am very happy to
00:21:20see him, we haven't talked in a while. A Mytilenean in New
00:21:24York. Good morning Ignati, how are you? Good morning.
00:21:28I'm fine, how are you, my Fae? I'm great.
00:21:31Recording the current events and what's happening now, it causes
00:21:35me some concern, because we are waiting to see some good news to
00:21:39calm down this whole situation, instead we see that it is escalating and
00:21:43being fueled, and that is why we came to find you, Ignati. We also see the
00:21:47beautiful shots here of the products, to give us a little bit of it. To
00:21:50you, you are a Greek who trades
00:21:54Greek products in New York, you are involved in this
00:21:58business, how is the
00:22:00situation? Oh, look, Fae,
00:22:04lately, there are many
00:22:06ups and downs. As
00:22:08I was seeing, around 10,
00:22:1210-12 years that I've been in America, when I first came
00:22:16here, gasoline or diesel, let's say, was.
00:22:28And if you put premium, that is 100 octane,
00:22:325.5, in fact, that is, from
00:22:35last year we have taken
00:22:39about 1.30 per
00:22:42gallon, we are still at the low end, not
00:22:45like you who are almost there, I
00:22:48was on the island before.
00:22:54If you compare now the island of Lesvos with America, where, let's be honest, the salaries are completely different and the lowest
00:22:57salary is much higher than the lowest in
00:23:01Greece, how is this comparison, how do you see things and how
00:23:04do people react there? The less privileged in
00:23:08America are also under a lot of pressure, how are things?
00:23:11Uh, I'll tell you. When
00:23:15someone, let's say, an unskilled
00:23:17worker, who
00:23:20works, not even 10 years in a factory
00:23:24here, yes, their salary does not fall below
00:23:271,500 a week.
00:23:30So when you consider that we have 4.5 weeks a
00:23:33month, it's 6-7, okay. The
00:23:36rent is very high. How much is the rent approximately there for such a
00:23:40worker? How much does he pay for housing? I don't
00:23:43think it's below 1,500 a month. And still,
00:23:46however, and still, the problem.
00:23:50The thing is that here in
00:23:52America, it gives you more money.
00:23:55It's up to you if you want to save
00:23:59more money, while in Greece, when you get
00:24:02500-100
00:24:05how much can you save and how much can you pay for rent and stretch it, Ignati, no matter how much
00:24:08you try, no matter how much you save, it doesn't work out. It's
00:24:11a specific low amount. What's happening
00:24:15now there, as you describe it to us, because we see it, let me explain to
00:24:18our viewers the footage with Greek
00:24:21yogurt, what exactly do you do there, how
00:24:25do you travel to Greece through its products and if this
00:24:28expensiveness has affected you in getting the products from Greece and having them in New
00:24:31York? Look, with what's happening, as
00:24:35you know I'm from Mytilini, with what's happening with
00:24:39the, with the sheep, with the disease and the rest, it's
00:24:42like, okay, dramatic situations. The aphrodisiac
00:24:46piretos, as well as my family's animals, they
00:24:50slaughtered them.
00:24:52I still can't understand it, that prices have gone
00:24:55through the roof, for sure. Even in the containers we
00:24:59bring, we haven't seen huge, that is, after
00:25:01the coronavirus we had a considerable drop, now
00:25:05I don't see, that is, with oil it will surely go up,
00:25:08but now if we talk about feta, which is what
00:25:12we do primarily, okay, feta will be
00:25:16€10 a kilo next year, it's
00:25:19a given. And let me tell you, for me, I hope
00:25:23it goes to 15 in America, because,
00:25:26why do we pay €30 for Parmesan? Yes,
00:25:30it's a premium product,
00:25:33uh, so, special, so someone who wants it, especially in a country with other
00:25:37types of prices and values, can pay for it.
00:25:41So, we'll see, Ignati, thank you for this, we'll see,
00:26:05is the nightmare with electronic devices. Experts have told us to be careful.
00:26:08on a flight here someone wasn't careful and we had a problem, we had a
00:26:12big problem. I have to tell you, you should know, this is the main
00:26:16argument with my father because on every flight, because I always have a power bank with me,
00:26:20he's scared, yes and we're on every flight.
00:26:23Here we will see the footage from the KLM company, a
00:26:27power bank. A power bank
00:26:30exploded, it just exploded now. And
00:26:33we had a problem. The flight, while it was supposed to
00:26:36transport passengers to Curaçao, they returned to
00:26:39Amsterdam and there was great commotion. We also see the
00:26:43footage now. We've talked about this before. Look, here
00:26:47we're talking about it actually catching fire. It's very dangerous. We've
00:26:50discussed this topic with experts. This is
00:26:53an example, or is it an example? Okay, I was scared.
00:26:56I thought something like this happened inside. It's an example. We have discussed with
00:26:59experts and they have told us that many times there are
00:27:04products that have low-quality components, if they are overcharged,
00:27:07they can cause something like this, but generally, I don't know, with all these electronic devices on
00:27:10flights, you need a little caution. Dad is a little right. However, these specific ones,
00:27:13because I had asked about this specifically, are allowed. And
00:27:17yes, you are allowed to have them with
00:28:07reactions because Fredi Beleri, good morning, Iro. Good morning.
00:28:11Good morning. He made some statements about Ilias Kassidiaris,
00:28:14who was released from prison. Statements which, of course, caused
00:28:18reactions and then he rushed to retract them. Let's go, tell us exactly. Let's remember his
00:28:21statements a little bit in an interview he gave. So, when asked to comment on
00:28:25Kassidiaris' release, he said that he is one of the few Greeks who...
00:28:28served his entire sentence and considered this positive,
00:28:32while also acknowledging his right to return to the political
00:28:35scene. Of course, political reactions immediately followed. We also had the statement
00:28:39from PASOK, which called on the government spokesperson to comment
00:28:43on it and to condemn the relevant statements. So, Mr.
00:28:47Beleris made a post,
00:28:50retracted what he said, said that the comment was misguided and
00:28:54nevertheless, as he characteristically mentioned, PASOK isolated only one
00:28:58part of it. and that he didn't mean exactly that and that he has no
00:29:01connection with Ilias Kassidiaris. Of course, the damage was done
00:29:05because it was considered that he supports a person who is convicted, let's
00:29:08remember, for leading a criminal organization. What business did he
00:29:12have saying that he is the only one who served his entire sentence and what to do with him and since
00:29:15he is convicted
00:29:18for some crime, for
00:29:21criminal offenses, for what reason should we acknowledge the fact that
00:29:24he served his sentence? It's the obvious. Anyone who commits a
00:29:27crime, commits an offense, should serve their sentence. All wrong,
00:29:31all wrong. We also had an interview with Mr. Tsipras yesterday in a Belgian
00:29:35newspaper, where he said that he is ready to take over the
00:29:38premiership again. Exactly, he said that he is ready to govern, because
00:29:42as he characteristically mentioned, he knows the job, because he has
00:29:45done it before. Apart from that, he also severely criticized
00:29:48Kyriakos Mitsotakis, saying that since
00:29:512019, the standard of living of Greeks has significantly decreased,
00:29:55while he claimed that during his own
00:29:59days, the standard of living of Greeks
00:30:01improved. He characteristically said that during Kyriakos
00:30:05Mitsotakis' term, we had, we still have Bulgarian wages,
00:30:09French prices and Chinese
00:30:12working conditions, while he emphasized once again that we need to change our
00:30:16production model and for this, he said that there should be an investment fund for productive
00:30:20reconstruction amounting to 25 billion. Let's
00:30:24see how much of what Mr. Tsipras says, as well as the other parties, will be
00:30:27accepted by the people to whom
00:30:31they said it.
00:30:48Whether they said it or not in Thessaloniki, nobody cared, and
00:30:52yesterday, Iro, I was surprised that the gentleman from Mr. Tsipras' party was
00:30:55a guest on our show and he showed us the application. We also have it to show. It
00:30:59has been asked many times in Mr. Tsipras' party
00:31:03about what's happening with the money, where the money for the events they are holding is.
