Opposition MP hints big interests of multinational pharmaceuticals behind a recent amendment voted by Greek parliament

Panagiotis Kouroumplis, MP with the Leftist Opposition party SYRIZA in Greece, claimed that, the minister of health Adonis Georgiadis supported through a non-paper that multinational pharmaceutical companies would lose nearly 2.5 billion euros in case of voting in favor of SYRIZA's proposal. Specifically, the parliamentary representative of SYRIZA, speaking at the radio broadcast of the journalist Kostas Vaxevanis, claimed that, according to the non-paper the Greek minister of health supported that, if the parliament would vote SYRIZA's proposal, multinational pharmaceuticals would lose 2.5 billion euros since the prices of drugs in Greece affect prices in other 19 countries, as Greece is considered reference country. Kouroumplis also stated that the reduction of prices concerns actually only 50 to 100 drugs, not 6,000 as the minister of health claims. http://www.koutipandoras.gr/47759/%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%85%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%85%CF%80%CE%BB%CE%AE%CF%82-%CF%83%CF%

Greece's political power message: The laws are only for the others not for us!

Another example of how neoliberal political power behaves Nea Dimokratia owes Public Power Corporation (PPC) half million euros for its headquarters at Leoforos Sygrou-Athens. The government coalition party supports that is facing difficulties to pay the bill, due to the financial crisis conditions. This excuse is not acceptable, of course, for the other consumers, especially those whose electric power has been cut off by the company. Electric power has been cut off in nursing homes, social care foundations, very poor families. However, the government coalition party applies policies to impose penalties for those who can't pay the bill while has self-excluded from such penalties. Nea Dimokratia spends millions in public relations, high executives and propaganda, but not for the public sector which when will collapse, will be privatized as being bad. Furthermore, the two government coalition parties received millions in loans and put their future funding from th

Η αποσιώπηση και η συκοφαντία ως μέσα νομιμοποίησης των διαθεσιμοτήτων

Στις 23 Ιουλίου 2013 δημοσιεύθηκε ο Ν. 4172/2013 (ΦΕΚ 67 Α’ / 23.07.2013), ο οποίος προβλέπει την κατάργηση σημαντικών τομέων της Δευτεροβάθμιας Τεχνικής Εκπαίδευσης – τομείς που επέλεγαν το 1/3 του μαθητικού δυναμικού των ΕΠΑΛ - και ορίζει ότι το προσωπικό των καταργουμένων ειδικοτήτων τίθεται σε διαθεσιμότητα. Το διάστημα των τεσσάρων μηνών που βρισκόμαστε σε διαθεσιμότητα, οι δημοσιογράφοι, οι βουλευτές και οι υπουργοί, τις ελάχιστες φορές που αναδεικνύουν το θέμα αυτό, αναφέρονται σε “όργιο προσλήψεων”, σε “ρουσφετολογικά τρικ”, σε αποτύπωση αναγκών από ειδικό θεσμικό φορέα και σε “πλεονάζοντες καθηγητές” που δεν διέθεταν καν τα απαραίτητα προσόντα για τις θέσεις που κατείχαν. Επειδή, η συκοφαντία είναι πάρα πολύ άτιμη πράξη κατά το ποινικό δίκαιο, όπως πολύ χαρακτηριστικά είπε ο κ. Βενιζέλος πρόσφατα στη βουλή, θα ήθελα με αφορμή τη δημοσίευση του παρόντος κειμένου να αποκατασταθεί η αλήθεια.             Θέλω να σας πληροφορήσω πως οι καθηγητές που ετέθησαν σε δ
