24.01.2022 #Australia #Youth #Employment #Work #Economy #A "What a year to come of age. To wander out of high school, or university, or Tafe, and into a world transformed by a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. To be young in 2020 is to have watched on helplessly as the exciting new freedoms that come with a birthday, or graduation, were quickly but necessarily taken away: That first night out. The first road trip in the first car.... For a generation of young Australians looking to their future, the wide vista of opportunities and possibilities they might have once counted on has dramatically narrowed with the arrival of recession in a nation blindsided by Covid-19."

24.01.2022 #Australia #Victoria #Melbourne #NelbourneCityCouncil #Coronavirus #COVID19 #Health #PublicHealth Good to know. "Melburnians will be dining alfresco on footpaths, streets and in parking spaces across 16 new outdoor dining precincts as part of Melbourne City Council's plan to reinvigorate the city as it emerges from the economic stranglehold of the COVID-19 crisis.... Melbourne eateries can now apply for a permit to set up tables and chairs on footpaths, in street-side car parks and laneways or to operate in a number of nominated pop-up dining precincts. The plan for Melbourne is based on New York's Open Restaurants scheme. Although there are 2390 cafes and restaurants in the City of Melbourne, only 800 venues have outdoor dining permits and space. For those that do, the council has identified six different precincts Bourke Street East and Russell Street in the CBD, Lygon Street in Carlton, Errol Street in North Melbourne, Domain Road in South Yarra and Bellair Street in Kensington where dining will be allowed on the street. Different eateries will be able to join up with neighbouring businesses to take up more public space."

In view of this announcement, all the political leaders of the current mainstream political parties in Greece, including the previous right wing PM Antonis Samaras, intervened publi...cly yesterday, via a supplement published in the left wing daily Efymerida ton Syntakton, in order to denounce the extremist and criminal nature of Golden Dawn and in order to support the principles of liberal democracy and humanism.

22.01.2022 #Comment #GreekAustralians #Graffiti #Politics #Ideology #Greece Comment: Kostas Karamarkos Of course! We should not vandalise art work commissioned by the conservative mayor of Ellinikon-Argyroupolis, work that refers to the heroes of the Greek Revolution of 1821 against the Ottomans. ... But, we should also know though that, the graffitist is not just "young", as the Greek City Times state, or "mysterious", as The Greek Herald describes him. He is an extreme right wing Golden Dawn sympathiser, he is a racist, he is a white supremacist, he is a supporter of violent acts... And the local Greek-Australian media need to be more careful, more knowledgable, more respectful and more protective of the democratic norms of Australia, Greek-Australia and Greece.

19.01.2022 #Australia #Language #Multiculturalism #Migration #Education "We found many first-generation migrant parents are hesitant to pass on their first language to their children. This is because they believe a different language at home will give their children a foreign accent. Yet some parents also feel if they speak English to their children, their children will pick up their own accented English. This can leave some parents in somewhat of a catch-22, feeling that no matter what..., their children will be faced with the same discrimination as them. But it’s important to speak to your children in your own language, and your own accent. By being exposed to multiple ways of communicating, children learn multiple ways of thinking. They learn to understand that everyone plays different roles, has different identities; and that others may speak or look different."

18.01.2022 #SaveModernGreekAtLaTrobeUni #GreekStudies #Education #Identity #Multiculturalism #Melbourne We have reason to be optimistic about the continuation of the Greek Studies Program at La Trobe Uni in Melbourne, in the near future. If we really value the program though, the only guarantee for its long term survival is an increase in the number of students who enroll to study Greek at La Trobe.

14.01.2022 #EU #EUSummit #Greece #Cyprus #Turkey #Belarus #ForeignAffairs #Diplomacy Interesting read. "At the top of the agenda for the European Council is relations with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan.... Greece and Cyprus are in a standoff with Turkey over exploratory drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean. The presence of navies in the area has escalated tensions. So far, the EU has failed to agree sanctions, to much frustration among some MEPs. This is an appeasement policy, but the appeasement policy leads to much more greater expansionist policy by Turkey, so we do have tools and I think one of them can be very effective, economic sanctions especially through the customs union," says Cyprus MEP Costas Mavrides from the Socialists and Democrats. According to an EU source speaking ahead of the summit, "all options" remain on the table, including sanctions, but leaders are not expected to announce formal sanctions on Friday."

A HOPEFUL SIGN FROM LA TROBE UNI, in relation to its Greek Studies Program, as stated and published a few minutes ago, in the Sydney based Greek-Australian daily THE GREEK HERALD. ... La Trobe was pleased to meet with members of the Greek community in Victoria last Friday to discuss the change proposal and hear their concerns. It is clear there is a strong desire from members of the community for La Trobe’s Greek Studies program to continue. We discussed the significant financial impacts to the University as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, our subsequent Strategic Plan, and the fact that student demand for the program would need to increase substantially before the program could be financially viable. La Trobe will carefully consider the outcomes of staff consultation, as well as representations made from members of the community, regarding the future of the program before making any decision.

08.01.2022 #SaveModernGreekAtlaTrobeUni #Education #Multiculturalism #Identity #Australia #Language #Melbourne Another letter of support for the continuation of Modern Greek at La Trobe Uni. This time from the Melbourne branch of M25, a Greek political party led by economist Yanis Varoufakis. Professor John Dewar... Vice-Chancellor La Trobe University Dear Professor Dewar, MERA25 is a political party in the Greek parliament, led by the Greek Australian Yanis Varoufakis, an honorary professor of Political Economy at the University of Sydney. We write regarding the recent announcement that La Trobe University has proposed to cease the Modern Greek Language Program. La Trobe is the only Victorian University that offers a Modern Greek studies program. Modern Greek is an important community language with over 100.000 speakers in Victoria. According to the 2011 Australian census, Melbourne has a population of 173,598 Greek-Australians, the largest population outside Greece and Cyprus. Modern Greek is one of the languages in the Australian Curriculum. The influence of the Greek language on English has been largely lexical and conceptual. It has been spoken in the Balkan peninsula since around the 3rd millennium BC and has been the fundamental language in philosophy, medicine, physics, mathematics and astronomy. The retention of Greek Studies at La Trobe will contribute to the continuity of this language among the Greek Australian community of Melbourne and Victoria. We consider the retention of the Modern Greek studies in La Trobe as a sign of the strong bonds between Australia and Greece, and as an opportunity for our children to study the language of their parents. We call on La Trobe to reconsider the proposal and ensure that the Modern Greek Language Program will continue. For MERA-25 Melbourne, Kostas Stefanidis

07.01.2022 #USA #Opinion #Politics #GOP #DonaldTrump Good read. "Paradoxically, Mr. Trump may be all the stronger within the party because he served only one term. Many Republicans feel there is unfinished business to be settled after the Trump years. Many want a rematch to expunge the memory of defeat. The Republican right in particular feels that the battles Mr. Trump began over immigration, foreign policy, trade with China and the power of Big Tech in politics have yet to be playe...d out. These are some of the themes that the party’s potential 2024 aspirants Governor DeSantis, Senators Josh Hawley and Cruz, Nikki Haley (Mr. Trump’s former ambassador to the United Nations) and others continue to underscore, as do a legion of conservative commentators. With only one term to enact its agenda, the Trump administration is forgiven for not having achieved everything it set out to do, and its setbacks can be chalked up to Mr. Trump’s inexperience on entering office, the hostility of his media critics and the bad luck that the Covid-19 crisis struck in a re-election year. Two of these three conditions will not apply in 2024. What will apply, for better or worse, is the power of Mr. Trump and his agenda to galvanize voters and drive turnout for both parties. In 2020 Mr. Trump received more votes 74 million than any other Republican nominee in history. That was over 11 million more votes than Mr. Trump won four years earlier. After everything that had happened in those years, and even amid the historic hardships of Covid, the Trump brand had actually grown its base of support. "The Republican Party is not yet entirely a working-class party, but it is increasingly a party that draws support from less-educated voters. This was true even before Mr. Trump’s arrival on the scene, and these voters have been all the more attracted to the party thanks to him. The education divide between the parties is not necessarily an intellectual divide as much as a cultural one: America’s institutions of higher education generally inculcate both a faith in credentialed expertise and a broadly liberal or progressive worldview that Mr. Trump defies. A cultural rejection of the college-educated classes’ consensus helps to explain the Republican appeal to less-educated voters. But as such Ivy League-credentialed figures as Governor DeSantis, Senators Cruz and Hawley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo demonstrate, it is a rejection that some of the best-educated people in the country also share."

06.01.2022 #SaveModernGreekAtLaTrobeUni #Education #Multiculturalism #Melbourne #Language #Identity It seems that for the time being, La Trobe University will not go ahead with the initial plan to discontinue its Modern Greek Studies program. "Letters, meetings, petitions seem to be paying off for the Greek community as far as the salvation of the Greek studies program of La Trobe University (LTU) is concerned.... Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) President Bill Papastergiadis told Neos Kosmos the delegation to keep the Greek program afloat saw a remarkable turnaround on Tuesday during a meeting with LTU’s Vice Chancellor John Dewar. The meeting went well and the decision for the termination of the program has been deferred for 14 days, he said. Within seven days we will put a proposal to them with details on the current financial shortfall and how that might be accommodated by the community as well as a marketing strategy to triple the number of students. Mr Papastergiadis was not at liberty to disclose the size of the economic shortfall, however he said the meeting was held in a collaborative and positive environment with both parties working hard in hoping to achieve a positive outcome for the program.

03.01.2022 #Greece #Data #COVID19 #Coronavirus #Health #PublicHealth Alarming COVID-19 stats from Greece... "Nearly half of Friday’s record 460 new coronavirus cases were traced in the Greek capital on Friday, raising concerns about the prevalence of the virus in the community at large, as only 17 of the 207 new infections were traceable and just four were linked to travel within the country.... The northern Greek region of Pella also saw cases shoot up by 117 on Friday, following an outbreak at a canning factory where 114 people tested positive. The area has struggled to contain the virus in the past couple of months, mainly due to outbreaks at factories and food processing facilities. Trikala reported 15 new infections and was followed by Ioannina and Karditsa, with 10 each. New cases were in the single figures in all other parts of Greece."

Here is today's news bulletin in Greek, broadcast this morning.

02.01.2022 #Greece #Trial #Justice #Politics #Ideology #Extremism #Crime #Violence #Nazism #Fascism #GoldenDawn Recommended reading. "There are few moments in a nation’s history when one decision can heal the wrongs of the past. But in Greece there is mounting hope that a panel of three judges will do just that when at 11am on Wednesday they deliver judgment on Golden Dawn, the neo-fascist party that took Europe by storm at the height of the country’s economic crisis.... It will be good for the mental health of Greece, said the leftwing writer Dimitris Psarras whose dogged investigations into the ultra-nationalist force helped expose its sinister ideology and embrace of violence. We’re all looking towards three people to do what is right to protect democracy. Few verdicts have been as eagerly awaited. Even fewer have been as long in the making. The trial, the largest court hearing of Nazis since Nuremberg, began on 20 April 2015. In proceedings both dramatic and banal, 68 people, including the party’s entire leadership, have faced charges of operating a criminal organisation while at the same time posing as a political group. Police officers who allegedly supported the far-right party are among those in the dock. The accusations have been vigorously denied. Only Giorgos Roupakias, a Golden Dawn operative, has confessed to the stabbing of Pavlos Fyssas, a popular anti-fascist rapper whose death triggered the group’s unravelling. MPs who represented the xenophobic bloc until its electoral defeat in July 2019 are accused of attempted murder, possession of weapons and employing violence to eradicate perceived enemies. Like Nikolaos Michaloliakos, a Holocaust denier who founded the neo-Nazi movement in the early 80s, they claim to be victims of political persecution. Yet nearly five and a half years after the trial began, Athens’s normally divided political class is united in the belief that this week’s decision will be as cathartic as it is decisive. Writing in Saturday’s Syntakton newspaper, leaders from across the spectrum rejoiced in the end of Golden Dawn.
