In theory, the former Prime Minister is attempting something rarely seen in politics: presenting himself at the same time as both Someone Else and a continuation of his former self. I don't know if he’s going to pull it off, but it won’t be easy

Across Europe, if no one party ends up with an absolute parliamentary majority after the elections, it will collaborate with other parties to rule the land. In Greece, none of the parties want to work with any of the others—or that’s what they’ve said, at least

As someone rightly noted recently, the needle really does seem to be stuck and there’s no indication it will be getting unstuck any time soon. It is no coincidence that all the polls since the European elections have outlined the same picture with only minimal fluctuations. The positive reading is that they point to a […]

If you want to become an international energy hub, if you want to claim a distinct niche for yourself on the new geopolitical map, you cannot welcome the future with Kalashnikovs and clans on Crete.

The rearmament of Europe and Turkey’s activities in the wider region bring a question that has long exercised Greek politics back to the fore. What sort of Turkey do we want? Obviously, the question is rhetorical. No nation, Turkey or any other, is ever going to ask us what kind of country we would like […]

“The Greece that resists, the Greece that persists” has lost its bard. Because this was the Greece Dionysis Savvopoulos hymned in his songs for sixty plus years. When times were hard and when the livin’ was easy. Through joys and hardships. To applause and jeers. On occasions of celebration and of mourning. A Greece that […]

But who will be in that government? Listen to the candidates’ proclamations, and you’ll come away with the impression that there will never be a government, given that no one is willing to cooperate with anyone

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning,” Churchill said after the Allied victory at El Alamein. And that’s where we are now with Gaza. There can be no doubt that the initial agreement on the ceasefire and the […]

The inquest on Tempe has finished and we can expect a trial date to be set for the coming months. The Agricultural Subsidies Agency (OPEKEPE) is in court, and the first convictions are coming through

When Mitsotakis' meeting with Erdogan was canceled, the Turks didn’t even issue a statement, just as they hadn’t announced the meeting in the first place

And so the Prime Minister will be in New York from tomorrow for the UN General Assembly—at which, it’s been announced, he will also be meeting with President Erdogan.

The Russians believe that Europe is weaker, defensively vulnerable, and lacks the will to mount a committed push back against Russian pressure.

The administration wants to rebuild a power base that has been put to the test over the last two years. And the Opposition wants to create a power base that will work in their favor

Especially with America succumbing to chaotic madness, Russia threatening from the margins, and the entire international system (political and economic) mired in levels of uncertainty we haven't seen for decades

Putin can play his games unhindered in a war that’s increasingly his own

One thing is certain: there can be no settlement without the Palestinians, nor any solution without Ukraine.

Those who think August is a 'no-news' month couldn’t be more wrong

Both the government and the opposition have resorted to extreme name-calling and tit-for-tat accusations, with little regard for the facts of the issues at hand

Clearly, Turkey is seeking to maintain open channels of communication with Europe, with an eye on arms deals such as the Eurofighter

Any sense of a shared international understanding has gone by the wayside, and there’s no such thing as a common will or intent. The planet keeps on spinning, but with little that looks like a central axis
