Tensions on the Greek islands have been skyrocketing in the last month following an aggressive government-led smear campaign against volunteers and NGOs helping migrants and refugees. The government has accused NGOs of collusion with smugglers and passed a law requiring all NGOs working with migrants to submit detailed information concerning their membership and employees. We spoke with Christos Lazaridis of the Greek Forum of Refugees, an association of refugees and migrants’ communities based in Athens. The main goal of the network is to empower these communities to advocate for their rights and their obligations as potential citizens of Greece and Europe. At the center of this mission is the self-advocacy team which is consisted of people with a refugee, stateless or asylum seeker background, advocating for themselves on the issues they consider pressing.

ANEL MP resigns, putting Greece's coalition gov't majority at risk

A lawmaker from Independent Greeks (ANEL) resigned on Tuesday over the Macedonia Agreement. The resignation leaves Tsipras’ coalition partner ANEL with just seven lawmakers and puts to government majority at risk. It is the second MP out of ANEL in the last ten days.

MP Giorgos Lazaridis who is elected in Thessaloniki submitted his resignation on Tuesday and it looks as if he will not return his seat to ANEL but will continue as “independent lawmaker.” He cited the Macedonia Agreement as reason for his resignation.

Lazaridis had supported the government against the no-confidence motion submitted by main opposition New Democracy beginning of June and practically authorized the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister to sign the Macedonia Agreement in Prespes.

Then, on a rainy day morning, he came to his senses and realized that he does not agree with the way the coalition deals with the name issue?

On June 21st, ANEL MP Giorgos Sgouridis denounced that three ANEL lawmakers were have been receiving  “death threats.” Sgouridis named himself, Lazaridis and Katsikis.

Whatever the pressure Lazaridis bowed to, fact is that the SYRIZA-ANEL has now just 152 lawmakers in the parliament of 300.

RAYMOND LAFLAMME ~ Special to the Globe and Mail

My grandfather was born in 1906. It was the year that Romanian inventor Traian Vuia flew a heavier-than-air monoplane with unassisted takeoff for the first time at Montesson in France.

As a child, I remember how my grandfather would sometimes look up at the sky, spotting a plane in flight, and tell me about times that people would flock into the…

RIM

RIM's new CEO Thorsten Heins in an interview with The Globe and Mail:

There’s no need for me to shake this company up or turn it upside down... We are not at a point where we try to define a strategy, that’s done.

RIM is dropping out of the sky and refuses to innovate in any meaningful way. Their stock is at a 5 year low and Blackberry sales are flagging. And apparently they're just fine with the status quo...
