Foreign Capitals, K.M. and the Pressure at the Ballot Box, Nikos A.’s Airport Transfers and Alexis’ Bench — Let’s All Go to Katerina for Psychotherapy
///
The measures and the difficult winter, what K.M. said (and what he didn’t), the PASOK and PAOK transfers, a super deal in technology is coming, billions raining down on the Athens Stock Exchange today
Greek banking seeks a larger share of shipping finance while Beijing is hoarding the world’s gold
Samaras, Kasidiaris and the far-right apartment building, the difficult winter and Mitsotakis’s measures, the center-left salad and the “new Nikos,” the Kamba villa and Dimand
The country’s fifth systemic bank & Greece as an infrastructure platform for Europe’s AI
Kasidiaris shakes up the far-right in the poll numbers, Alexis’s changes underway, the meeting at the PM’s office on energy, the report on Metro Line 4 & the prosecutor
New records for the Greek refineries & why fund managers fell in love with the banks
The Mazonakis phenomenon and the monstrous power of digital media, bang and boom go the gunshots on the works (and we don’t even have a fixer), Kasidiaris is “coming”
A Lifeline for the Athens Stock Exchange & the quiet profit machine in Neo Psychiko
Pollsters, Alexis, Nikos’s studies & smiles, the truth & unemployment benefits, Nova and the interested parties, and the much-troubled Metro Line 4
The thorn of delays & the wake-up call
The polls, Samaras, Karamanlis, Salmas and Sofos, Alexis’s rings and safe deposit boxes, the UNESCO dinner and Amal ///
Alexis Tsipras launches his new party at the Thessaloniki fair as GPO polling shows New Democracy gaining slightly, while Athens prepares for its stock exchange upgrade to developed market status on 18 and 21 September
The far right, Samaras and the flexible Alexis, the hunt for the “ungrateful Blue”, K.M. from Paris to Kastellorizo, the army camp and the suitors ///
Merz's party pays the price for AfD's surge as Le Pen's National Rally now leads French polls; Samaras flirts with the far right while Tsipras inflates his own bloc's numbers, and Mitsotakis heads to Kastellorizo as Star Bulk, Aegean and National Bank make waves in the markets
The imprint left by the Fair, the New Democracy “ingrate”, the Greek mega fund manager and Alexis’s Nephilim, developers’ anxiety, and news from the shipowners ///
New Democracy's post-fair standing comes into focus as ministers defend fresh tax measures, Mitsotakis heads to Egypt for talks with Sisi, EVEA's president needles the government, and Star Bulk plots a historic Athens dual listing
What we learned from the TIF: the giant giveaway package, the PM’s inevitable comparison with the other two, and the “we’re all one big family” culture of ministers, Maximos and backroom dealings
Behind the giveaways lies a bruising rift between Mitsotakis and Antonis Samaras, mounting renewed unease inside New Democracy's own ranks in northern Greece, and Yiorgos Mylonakis's return to duty after months of serious ill health
