Θανάσης Μπούρας

Αντιπρόεδρος της Βουλής των Ελλήνων

Βουλευτής ΝΔ Δυτικής Αττικής​​​​​​​​​

Αθήνα, 20.1.2022

 

Στο πλαίσιο του τακτικού ετήσιου ελέγχου του έργου των Ανεξάρτητων Αρχών, η Ειδική Μόνιμη Επιτροπή Θεσμών και Διαφάνειας της Βουλής των Ελλήνων, υπό την προεδρία  του Αντιπρόεδρου της Βουλής και Βουλευτή Δυτικής Αττικής, κ. Θανάση Μπούρα, συνεδρίασε με θέμα ημερήσιας διάταξης τη συζήτηση επί των Εκθέσεων Πεπραγμένων, ετών 2019 και 2020, του Ανώτατου  Συμβουλίου Επιλογής Προσωπικού (Α.Σ.Ε.Π.).

 Αρχικά, έλαβε χώρα ακρόαση του Προέδρου του Α.Σ.Ε.Π., κ. Αθανασίου Παπαϊωάννου. Συγκεκριμένα, ο κ. Παπαϊωάννου εστίασε στα εξής σημεία : α) απολογιστικά στοιχεία της τελευταίας πενταετίας (ως προς τις θέσεις για τις οποίες εκδόθηκαν οριστικά αποτελέσματα, καθώς και το χρόνο που μεσολάβησε μεταξύ της έκδοσης της προκήρυξης και της δημοσίευσης των οριστικών αποτελεσμάτων), β) εκκρεμείς διαδικασίες προσλήψεων την 1/1/22 και γ) παράγοντες επιβράδυνσης και επιτάχυνσης της ταχύτητας έκδοσης αποτελεσμάτων.

Στη συζήτηση που ακολούθησε αναδείχθηκε το γεγονός της σημαντικής αύξησης του πλήθους των αιτήσεων συμμετοχής σε προκηρύξεις του ΑΣΕΠ, με την αναλογία προκηρυσσόμενων θέσεων προς πλήθος αιτήσεων να ανέρχεται από 1:10 σε 1:30 έως 1: 40, όπως επίσης και το ζήτημα των αναπληρώσεων, των αντικαταστάσεων δηλαδή διοριστέων που είτε δεν ανέλαβαν εργασία είτε παραιτήθηκαν στη συνέχεια.

Από την πλευρά του, ο κ. Μπούρας, αναφέρθηκε στην προσπάθεια που καταβάλει ως Πρόεδρος της Επιτροπής για τον έγκαιρο προγραμματισμό των ακροάσεων των Προέδρων των Ανεξάρτητων Αρχών, καθώς και για την έγκαιρη πληροφόρηση των μελών με το προς συζήτηση υλικό.

Η συνεδρίαση της Επιτροπής Θεσμών και Διαφάνειας προβλήθηκε σε απευθείας μετάδοση από το Κανάλι της Βουλής, δίνοντας, έτσι, τη δυνατότητα σε κάθε Έλληνα πολίτη να ενημερωθεί για το έργο και τις διαδικασίες αυτού του τόσο σημαντικού θεσμού που εγγυάται τη διαφάνεια και την αξιοπιστία των προσλήψεων και της ανάδειξης στελεχών στο δημόσιο.

Γιάννης Λασηθιωτάκης Ατομική έκθεση

Ατομική έκθεση

Οι Πύλες του Παραδείσου


Η ΔΛ Gallery παρουσιάζει το Σάββατο 5 Φεβρουαρίου 2022 την ατομική έκθεση του Γιάννη Λασηθιωτάκη με τίτλο « Οι Πύλες του Παραδείσου»


Στο κείμενο που την συνοδεύει, ο ίδιος σημειώνει:
Σε αυτήν την έκθεση γίνεται μια προσπάθεια ανασυγκρότησης ενός χωρικού γεγονότος στο οποίο ο θεατής καλείται να βιώσει τον ανθρώπινο πόνο, ακολουθώντας τη λογική και τη σημειολογία μιας σταύρωσης. Έργα στις ίδιες διαστάσεις, αναρτημένα σε σχέσεις διαλόγου, αφηγούνται χωρίς περιγραφικότητα καταστάσεις εύθραυστης ισορροπίας. Μαύρες γραμμές ανιχνεύουν όρια, σχίζουν αποφασιστικά το τελάρο από άκρη σε άκρη, αγγίζουν ένα κόκκινο αιμάτινο παραλληλόγραμμο, ψηλαφώντας το τραύμα της ανθρώπινης φθαρτότητας. Ο καμβάς υπάρχει εκεί πάντα, πάλλευκος και άμωμος, για να δεχθεί τις επεμβάσεις, ως υπενθύμιση, ως ιερά σινδόνη.





Σε μια μεγάλη τοιχογραφία επάλληλα σχήματα διαφορετικών χρωμάτων δημιουργούν μια χωροχρονική σήραγγα. Υποβάλλουν την αίσθηση ενός ιδεατού άυλου χώρου. Καλούν τον θεατή να δρασκελίσει το κατώφλι μιας υπερβατικής άγνωστης περιοχής, μεγαλειώδους και διχαστικής -όπου ο πόνος είναι παρών, αλλά απελευθερώνει και λυτρώνει.
Τα σχήματα σε παραλλαγές είναι κομμάτια, θραύσματα , αποσπάσματα ενός έργου σε συνεχή διαμόρφωση. Τίποτα δεν είναι ακέραιο, τελεσίδικο, ολοκληρωμένο.
Στοιχεία επαναλαμβάνονται επίμονα σαν κώδικας, σαν πολύχρωμα ηχητικά σήματα μιας άφωνης ακολουθίας.





ΟΙ ΠΥΛΕΣ

Τι είναι λοιπόν οι Πύλες του Παραδείσου; Είναι το οικείο, το γνωστό, το ασφαλές που μας καθησυχάζει, ή το άγνωστο που μας φοβίζει και μας προκαλεί; Είναι το αίμα, η απώλεια, η εμπειρία του πένθους, η καταστροφή, ο πόνος και στον αντίποδα το όνειρο, η μνήμη, το ιδανικό, το μεγάλο υπαρξιακό ερώτημα του τέλους. Το Πέρασμα στην άλλη όχθη, στο επέκεινα.

Οι Πύλες είναι τόποι παράξενοι και μυστηριώδεις, ιδεατοί και ιδανικοί, άυλοι και απτοί. Αφήνονται στην ενατένιση ή στο άγγιγμα του θεατή, ακροβατώντας στο μεταίχμιο μνήμης και λήθης, πραγματικότητας και φαντασίας.





Στέκουν ανάμεσα στο «εδώ» και το «εκεί», χωρίζουν και ταυτόχρονα ενώνουν ετερότητες, ορίζουν μεταβατικούς τόπους. Είναι δυνητικά τοπία διαβάσεων και αποκαλύψεων. Καθοδηγούν το βλέμμα του θεατή σε ένα άδηλο και ακαθόριστο προοπτικό βάθος, σε ένα μέλλον ακόμη άγνωστο και ανεξιχνίαστο.

Τα Περάσματα, αυτές οι γραμμικές επάλληλες Πύλες του ελάχιστου υλικού αποτυπώματος, είναι νοητά κατώφλια που το έργο μας καλεί να διαβούμε.

Αν οδηγούν στον Παράδεισο εναπόκειται στον επισκέπτη της έκθεσης να το αποφασίσει.

"Πληρώστε για τους βανδαλισμούς της κατάληψης: Ο δήμαρχος Παπάγου στέλνει τον λογαριασμό στους γονείς των μαθητών":Τελικά...η ΕΛΠΙΔΑ ζεί κάπου..

 

Πληρώστε για τους βανδαλισμούς της κατάληψης: Ο δήμαρχος Παπάγου στέλνει τον λογαριασμό στους γονείς των μαθητών

Την αποκατάσταση των ζημιών από τους μαθητές που συμμετείχαν στην κατάληψη σχολείου ζήτησε ο δήμαρχος Παπάγου – Χολαργού, τονίζοντας ότι «απέτυχαν να διαφυλάξουν τη δημόσια περιουσία».

Κατεστραμμένα και αναποδογυρισμένα θρανία και καρέκλες, καμένα βιβλία αλλά και «απουσία» πολλών αντικειμένων διαπίστωσε ο διευθυντής του 1ου Λυκείου Παπάγου (το οποίο συστεγάζεται με το Γυμνάσιο) στην πρώτη του επίσκεψη εντός του κτιρίου, μετά το τέλος της εξαήμερης κατάληψης που είχε πραγματοποιηθεί την πρώτη εβδομάδα έναρξης των μαθημάτων (Δευτέρα 10 – Κυριακή 16 Ιανουαρίου) μετά τις διακοπές των Χριστουγέννων από ομάδα μαθητών.

ΙΜF:Why Jobs are Plentiful While Workers are Scarce

 

The recent labor market puzzle can be partly explained by mismatch, the pandemic’s effect on women and older workers leaving the work force.

Levine/NEWSCOM) By Carlo Pizzinelli and Ippei Shibata In the US and UK, the recent labor market puzzle can be partly explained by mismatch, the pandemic’s effect on women (in the US) and older workers leaving the work force. Almost two years after the pandemic upended labor markets, job openings are plentiful in many advanced economies, yet workers have not fully returned. This gap, in which the employment rate is below its pre-COVID level, is playing out in the United States and the United Kingdom. Despite tight labor markets, as reflected in high vacancy-to-unemployment ratios and job quits, the employment recovery remains incomplete and below pre-pandemic levels in both countries. Now with a possible cooling effect on labor markets caused by the Omicron wave, this trend could be longer than expected. New IMF staff research uses granular data on employment and vacancies in the US and the UK to assess four commonly held explanations: The effect of generous income support on willingness to seek and take up jobs. A mismatch between the types of jobs that are available and the willingness of people to fill them. Mothers of young children exiting the work force amid continued disruptions to school and childcare. Older workers withdrawing from the labor force. We found that lower participation among older workers not returning to work is the common thread, and matters most. Mismatch plays a secondary role. The fall in female participation is unique to the US, but quantitatively important. If the broader trend of plentiful jobs and not enough workers continues, it can have major implications for growth, inequality, and inflation. A continued sluggish employment recovery amid sustained labor demand could constrain economic growth while fueling wage increases. While higher wages would be good news for workers, they could further fuel inflation. Generosity of income support programs The first possible explanation is that income support programs during the pandemic allowed workers to be picky, slowing job applications, acceptances and, ultimately, the employment recovery. However, preliminary evidence reviewed in our paper, including from the recent phasing out of the US federal unemployment insurance supplement, suggests the early removal of COVID-related unemployment benefits had only a modest and temporary effect on getting people back to work. Mismatch A second candidate explanation is an increase in the mismatch between the industries and occupations in which the jobless are searching and those with abundant vacancies. Jobs that require in-person interactions, such as in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, have been hit exceptionally hard, while “teleworkable” jobs fared substantially better. Others, like delivery services, even boomed. Could it be that workers who lost jobs in hard-hit industries and occupations struggled to transition into new opportunities, leading to mismatch? The short answer is yes, but this is just one part of the story. We find that the employment loss due to mismatch during the crisis has been modest and, to our surprise, smaller than during the Global Financial Crisis. We estimate that, as of early last fall, mismatch explains only about 18 percent and 11 percent of the outstanding employment gap versus pre-COVID levels in the US and the UK, respectively. The She-cession A third explanation seems more potent, at least in the US. The prolonged school closures and scarcity of childcare services put an extra burden on mothers of young children, pushing many to leave the labor force—the so-called “She-cession.” We estimate that the excess employment contraction for mothers of children younger than 5 years old compared with other women accounted for around 16 percent of the total US employment gap with respect to pre-COVID levels as of October 2021. That was down from 23 percent in early September, thanks partly to the return to in-person schooling later that month. Meanwhile, there was no such She-cession in the UK, where employment fell less for females than for males. A potential explanation is that in the UK nurseries remained opened throughout the pandemic, easing the tradeoff between work and childcare for mothers of young children. Withdrawal of older workers The final and potentially largest contributor to a lag in employment recovery is an exodus of older workers from the labor force in both countries. For some, this may reflect health concerns related to the pandemic. Others may have reconsidered their need to work as housing and financial asset prices grew substantially. As of September, the rise in inactivity among workers age 55 and up accounted for around 35 percent of the outstanding employment gap versus pre-pandemic levels in both economies. It’s unclear how many of those who retired or quit may eventually return to the labor force. Beware of scarring Taken together, mismatch, the She-cession and older workers’ withdrawal from the labor force may account for roughly 70 percent of the US employment gap compared with pre-COVID levels. In the UK, there has been no She-cession, but about 10 percent of the employment gap can be attributed to mismatch and 35 percent to older workers’ withdrawal from labor force. Further, the outflow of foreign workers after Brexit—accelerated by the pandemic—entailed a progressive fall in the number of those job seekers willing and able to fill open vacancies. Our analysis leaves a potential, albeit mostly residual, role for other factors such as the effect of elevated unemployment benefits and other pandemic-related income support. If a larger number of older workers permanently retire and a lack of affordable childcare and pre-school opportunities continue to keep some women with young children at home, the pandemic could leave persistent employment scars, notably in the US. Whether the reason for not returning to work is early retirement or lack of childcare, one common thread exists: US and UK vacancies are highest among low-skill occupations and employment in these jobs remains below pre-2020 levels. The rise in voluntary quits—the so-called “great resignation”—are also greatest for low-skilled jobs. While it remains to be seen how widespread and persistent this phenomenon will be, these facts hint at a possible change in worker preferences triggered by the pandemic. To minimize the risk of scarring to employment, addressing the pandemic remains key, so workers are fully able to return to the labor market. So are well-designed training programs to reduce risks of mismatch, and—particularly in the US—expanded childcare and preschool opportunities.   We Want To Hear From You!
