Νέο σόου Τραμπ φόρεσε γιλέκο οδοκαθαριστή

Τραμπ: Νέο σόου πριν τις κάλπες – Γιατί φόρεσε γιλέκο οδοκαθαριστή
Ο Ντόναλντ Τραμπ ντύθηκε οδοκαθαριστής και οδήγησε ιδιωτικό απορριμματοφόρο στήνοντας ένα νέο σόου με τα ΜΜΕ

Η «γκάφα» Μπάιντεν που αποκάλεσε τους ψηφοφόρους του Τραμπ σκουπίδια, προκάλεσε ακόμα έναν γύρο αντιπαράθεσης στην προεκλογική κούρσα των ΗΠΑ με μπόλικη μιντιακή αστερόσκονη.

Ο Ντόναλντ Τραμπ για να «απαντήσει» στον Μπάιντεν αποφάσισε να ντυθεί οδοκαθαριστής, να νοικιάσει απορριμματοφόρο με το σήμα της προεκλογικής καμπάνιας και από τη θέση του οδηγού να απαντήσει στις ερωτήσεις των ΜΜΕ.

«Πώς σας φαίνεται το σκουπιδιάρικο μου;» ρώτησε ο Τραμπ τους δημοσιογράφους μέσα από το απορριμματοφόρο προσθέτοντας «αυτό είναι προς τιμήν της Κάμαλα και του Τζο Μπάιντεν».

Το ρατσιστικό σχόλιο για το Πουέρτο Ρίκο

Παράλληλα ο Τραμπ επιχείρησε να διατηρήσει εκ νέου αποστάσεις από τον κωμικό Τόνι Χίντσκλιφ, το ρατσιστικό «αστείο» του οποίου για τους κατοίκους του Πουέρτο Ρίκο σε συγκέντρωση του υποψήφιου των Ρεπουμπλικανών προκάλεσε σφοδρές αντιδράσεις.

«Δεν ξέρω τίποτα για τον κωμικό. Δεν ξέρω ποιος είναι. Δεν τον έχω δει ποτέ. Άκουσα ότι έκανε μια δήλωση. Είναι κωμικός, τι να σας πω. Δεν ξέρω τίποτα γι’ αυτόν» είπε ο Τραμπ για να προσθέσει αμέσως μετά «αγαπώ το Πουέρτο Ρίκο και το Πουέρτο Ρίκο με αγαπάει».

Ο Τόνι Χίντσκλιφ είχε αναφέρει σε προεκλογική συγκέντρωση των Ρεπουμπλικανών το Πουέρτο Ρίκο ως «νησί σκουπιδιών» με τις αντιδράσεις για το ρατσιστικό σχόλιο να είναι ιδιαίτερα έντονες τις επόμενες ημέρες.

Οι αντεγκλήσεις μεταξύ Τραμπ, Μπάιντεν και Χάρις ξεκίνησαν από αυτό το ρατσιστικό σχόλιο.

Ο Τραμπ όταν έφτασε στη συγκέντρωση στο Ουισκόνσιν φόρεσε εκ νέου το πορτοκαλί γιλέκο.

As Ankara disputes Greece’s sovereignty in the Aegean, EU approves “Turkaegean” trademark

 

'Under conditions of an extreme dispute of our sovereignty in the Aegean, the commercial trademark Turkaegean is aggressive, and it is unacceptable that it was approved by the EU,' said ex-FM Yorgos Katrougalos.

At a time that Ankara is disputing Greece’s sovereignty over its islands in the Eastern Aegean, the European Trademarks Office has approved the trademark “Turkaegean» for a Turkish tourism campaign.

The duration of the approval is until 2031, and the trademark is viewed as yet another example of Ankara’s efforts to underline its geopolitical claims in the Aegean, as the trademark essential means Turkish Aegean.

The ad campaign highlights ancient Greek and Hellenistic sites.

The US Patent and Trademark office has tentatively rejected the application for approval of the trademark, reportedly due to errors in the application, and will review it again at a future date.

FT, in a “Partner Content” sunshine journalism piece on its website, quotes the Turkish culture and tourism minister.

“The Turkish Aegean is one of the most exquisite regions Türkiye has to offer,” says Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, Minister of Culture and Tourism for the Republic of Türkiye. “It boasts coastlines wrapped in clear blue water, numerous historical sites dating back to the second century BC, and idyllic beaches to soak up the beaming sun. Many popular holiday villages and fishing harbours can be found up and down the coast – perfect for nature lovers and adventurers.”

“And then there’s the coastline itself to discover. The longest in Anatolia, it extends more than 1,700 miles and has hundreds of beaches – ranging from tranquil golden bays to glittering swathes of pebbles – almost 250 of which are Blue Flag certified. They have the considerable advantage of remaining unspoiled and, in many cases, deserted. You can enjoy the rare luxury of stretching out in the sun on your own private beach,” the article states.

Contacted by Greek Mega television, the European Trademarks Office, which is funded by member-states, said that it does not comment on isolated decisions.

The office is comprised of one member from each EU state, two representatives of the European Commission, and one representative of the European Parliament.

Former Syriza foreign minister slams EU, government
Main opposition Syriza’s fomer foreign minister and current shadow foreign minister, Yorgos Katrougalos, slammed the decision of the trademark office and the government’s failure to block it.

“Under conditions of an extreme [Turkish] dispute of our sovereignty in the Aegean, the commercial trademark Turkaegean is aggressive, and it is unacceptable that it was approved by the EU. The government is obliged to offer answers regarding its actions and omissions,” Katrougalos said in a tweet.

Investment in Corfu - Real Estate purchase

 

Which options of spare money investment are considered the most reliable? Acquisition of gold and real estate. The first warms the soul or decorates the body, while having your own real estate is prestigious and visionary regardless of whether you are planning to rent it out, come on vacation or preparing to spend your golden years there.
 
Buyers are especially attracted to real estate by the sea - this guarantees amazing nature, picturesque views, fresh seafood, ecology and a steady increase in the acquisition cost, since housing by the sea will be in demand at all times.
 
In the last couple of years, residents of different countries interested in investing in real estate have been paying close attention to Greece, in particular, to housing on the island of Corfu, one of the most popular Greek resorts. There are many reasons for  making a profitable investment in Corfu.
 
Stretching for 60 km almost parallel αlong the mainland coast, Corfu is known as an excellent option for holidays during the warm holiday season. In recent years, the island has been actively gaining popularity as an option for living all year round. Real estate in Corfu is an excellent choice for investing in your Greek home or apartment.
 
 
The main secret is that Greek real estate is the most profitable option for buying a house on the coast in Europe. For many reasons, the value of real estate in Greece is beginning to actively gain growth after some decline over the past 7 years. Growth is driven by the strong demand and also by the Greek Golden Visa program, which allows obtaining Greek residency through real estate investment. A residence permit, in turn, gives the right to year-round residence in Greece and the use of social services (education and medicine).
 
By and large, it's like hitting the jackpot - buying property in Corfu and discovering the doors to the heavenly Greek islands. But why Corfu, and not other cities or islands? Insular Greece, and in particular several of the largest islands (Crete, Rhodes, Corfu), remain the most popular holiday destinations for foreigners.
 
With approximately the same real estate prices on these islands, a discerning buyer will opt for Corfu, which has beautiful nature all over and is not so jaded by tourists.
 
Buying a property in Corfu, surprisingly, is an alternative to buying a home in Italy - being part of the Venetian Republic in the past, which has been reflected in the architecture and identity of the cities of Corfu. Each town here is proud of its own attractions, making traveling around the island an exciting experience.
 
Corfu, or Kerkyra (Greek) is the second largest among the Ionian Islands. Its coastline stretches for 60 km along the western part of mainland Greece. Due to such close proximity, during navigation periods, the journey to the mainland by ferry takes only 2 hours. By the way, on another ferry you can get to Italy (Bari) in 8 hours.
 
Despite the fact that Corfu is considered one of the northern islands of Greece, its mild, moderately warm climate ensures comfortable living on the island 365 days a year: summer +28 degrees are replaced by winter temperatures not lower than +10.
 
The infrastructure of Kerkyra is illustrated by convenient roads connecting the capital with dozens of cozy villages nearby. The coast of the island is mainly given over to the cleanest beaches, and the rest of the island, due to its incredible fertility, is used to the maximum for growing olives, southern fruits and grapes.
 
Real estate in Corfu is represented by an exhaustive variety: from a plot for the construction of a villa on the picturesque coast in the suburbs to a luxury apartment in the historic center of the city.
 
If you decide that Greece can become your second home, Grekodom Development managers will help you find a property. In Corfu, you can choose properties of various price categories, at different distances from the sea and resort centers.
 
What is the prices:
 

Maisonette 125 m² in Corfu 

375 000 €

  • Year of renovation: 2005
  • Number of rooms: 5
  • Distance from sea: 50 m

Banks pin high hopes on the Recovery Fund

 

Expect significant increase in green investment – Opportunity of the country for energy independence

Banks are showing strong interest in the low-interest loans of the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) in the first weeks after the official start of the program.

Credit institutions have already received the first requests from large and medium-sized entities, some of which are currently being processed at an advanced stage.

In fact, it is estimated that the first disbursements will have been made by next May.

Bankers see the 12.70 billion-euro low-interest liquidity available through the European package as a great opportunity for the domestic business community.

This is because it could lead to the implementation of investment projects with a budget of at least 25 billion euros within the next 5 years.

They also believe that it is a challenge for the Greek economy, as what the experience of recent months has shown, ensuring energy independence is a critical parameter for the well-being of households and the viability of businesses.

The advantages of the RRF

These issues were discussed extensively during the “FIN FORUM 2022”, organized on Wednesday by the Bank of Greece.

Mr. Dimitris Verelis, Head of Development, Sustainable Banking & Bank Relations of Piraeus Bank, referred during his speech to the advantages of the action.

As he said, this is “an important tool for Greek companies, even in sectors that did not have similar funding opportunities in the past.”

Mr. Verelis noted that Piraeus Bank “started accepting the first requests in less than 24 hours from the publication of the invitation to companies”, adding that now their flow is normal.

In addition, he listed a number of advantages that the RRF provides to businesses:

• The large “basket” of resources brought about by the really low cost of capital.

• The widest eligibility, which gives a very important opportunity to different sectors of the economy to take advantage of the opportunity given. For example, wholesale trade and the provision of services (other than tourism) have never had such an opportunity.

• Covers all the costs required for the implementation and initial operation of an investment. Indicatively, it covers from land or building purchase costs up to working capital costs.

• It is fast, it is managed by the banks, and the mechanisms and the bureaucratic requirements have been greatly simplified, something that is of particular importance for several sectors. For example, in tourism, speed usually means that the business has the ability to exploit the season

• Once the application is approved, the contracting proceeds and payments begin. The company does not wait for the completion of the project for certification and payment, as for example happens with the Development Law, which leads to a reduction in costs and risk.

• Combines with resources from the NSRF or the Developmen Lawt, if a business and an investment plan have other needs that are more efficiently covered by different resources.

Green transition and constructions

Regarding the sectors that will flourish in the coming years, Mr. Vassilis Karamouzis, General Manager of Corporate and Investment Banking of the National Bank, estimates that “the projects for the green transition and constructions are expected to exceed 30 billion euros within next years”.

He made special reference to the green transition, which he said “is the key priority at European Union level in the context of the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050”.

At the same time, according to Mr. Karamouzis, it is also a key pillar of the “Greece 2.0” National Recovery and Sustainability Plan, which will be funded by the Recovery Fund and is expected to absorb 38% of the budget of 31 billion euros.

This is an amount of 12 billion euros, which, leveraged with banking and private resources, will finance green investments of at least twice the size.

According to Mr. Karamouzis, green constructions are expected to show great growth in the coming years due to the actions of the Recovery Fund, the acceleration of the construction activity and the tourist development.

According to the National Bank executive, the domestic financial sector has the necessary experience and know-how to finance new projects.

According to him, the banks “have high capital adequacy and strong liquidity that allows them to seamlessly finance investments in a short period of time.”

At the end of his speech, Mr. Karamouzis referred to the increase in inflation following the latest developments, arguing that “the recent energy crisis and the war that has intensified have made the need for energy independence even clearer.”

As he explained, “it clearly passes through RES, although transitionally significant use of natural gas should be made with more options than we have today. “When this transition is completed, Greek households and businesses will have safe and cheap access to clean energy.”

Aim for valuable projects

On his part, the Senior Investment Banking Manager of Alpha Bank, Mr. Evangelos Kalamakis, referred to the conditions for the effective utilization of the resources of the Recovery Fund and to the sectors that will attract the implementation of large investments in Greece.

According to him, the first signs are positive. “Our experience in negotiating the Business Agreement was very positive and the response times were very fast, while there was flexibility of the program managers for changes and interventions in order to maximize its use and the allocation of resources.”

“The important advantage of the program is that the money will be paid in advance to the banks and will be immediately available to the eligible investment bodies,” said Mr. Kalamakis.

In addition, he stressed that “on the one hand there are strict requirements for eligibility, and on the other hand companies should prepare detailed and thorough investment plans and be willing to take on additional commitments.”

For this reason, he described as very important the fact that the lending process has been assigned to the banks which through the program “will have the opportunity to fulfill their institutional role, to implement their plans for credit development and the rapid use of funds, but also to enhance their profitability “.

The goal of the banks, as Mr. Kalamakis said, “is to utilize the funds in projects that will give value to the economy, and not just to be absorbed”.

Regarding the sectors that are most attractive for the implementation of large investments, he noted that in the field of green transition, the investments will aim at the transformation of the production process in the industries, so that they can develop and operate in a sustainable way.

It suits domestic needs

According to Mr. Spyros Venetsianos, Deputy General Manager & Head of Structured Finance, Corporate & Investment Banking of Eurobank, “the pillars of the RRF, although formed by the EU, come to match very well with what the Greek economy needs and can take advantage “.

These include RES projects, “green buildings”, digital infrastructure, exports and tourism.

“The program does not provide funding for business plans that were not viable anyway. “With the low cost of financing, it comes to facilitate investors, making their venture more competitive, attractive, but also safe,” he said.

“Competitiveness stems from the level of lending that companies in Western Europe have enjoyed so far, while security stems from the -essentially- reduced cost of servicing lending,” he explained.

Regarding the interest of the domestic investment community, Mr. Venetsianos stressed that the first requests have already been received and the mechanisms that have been formed in the previous months for their processing are being tested.

Moreover, he characterized as “revolutionary” of the program the fact that the interested party does not need to approach either the RRF or the public sector.

“His request will be treated as in ordinary funding, with the additional burden of a dossier containing the elements and criteria of eligibility, for which an effort has been made to organize them,” he said.

He added that “there will definitely be improvements as the program progresses, but very important preparation has been made, through the excellent cooperation with the State, the Fund, the other banks and the potential auditors”.
