“Today, on United Nations Day, we are reminded of what we can achieve when the world works together. We also reflect on major global challenges like the climate crisis, inequality, and violent extremism.

“In an unpredictable and changing world, it is more important than ever that we join forces to meet these challenges and build a better future for our children and grandchildren.

“For over 70 years, the United Nations (UN) has brought the international community together to address difficult issues that transcend borders. Staff and volunteers from around the world support UN programs, funds, and agencies dedicated to helping the world’s most vulnerable people.

“Canada is a proud founding member of the UN, and will continue to engage partners from around the world to achieve global security and prosperity. We have renewed our longstanding commitment to UN peacekeeping, and have taken a leadership role to meet the changing nature of conflict and peacebuilding, including through innovative approaches such as the Elsie Initiative for Women in Peace Operations.

“As we work closely with the UN to meet the challenges of the 21st century, we remain committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals at home and abroad to help make the world more just, prosperous, safe, and sustainable.

“We are committed to playing a positive and constructive role at the United Nations. This is why Canada has submitted its candidacy to serve on the UN Security Council for 2021-22.

“As we approach the United Nations’ 75th anniversary next year, I invite Canadians to reflect on everything the UN has accomplished and thank all UN staff and volunteers for their dedication and selfless service.”

“On this solemn anniversary, we remember Corporal Cirillo, along with Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent who was killed two days earlier in a separate attack in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec.

“As we remember these two brave members of our Canadian Armed Forces, we also thank the bystanders who provided first aid, as well as the first responders and members of our Parliamentary family who put their safety at risk to protect us.

“Today, as we honour the courageous Canadians in uniform who defend our values and freedom at home and around the world, we are reminded of the responsibility we all share to denounce hatred and promote inclusion in our communities.”

BARACK OBAMA Foundation Summit

Hi there, I’m thrilled to be attending this year’s Obama Foundation Summit next week in Chicago! Not only will we get to hear from inspiring voices, visionaries, and changemakers like Dolores Huerta, Ava DuVernay, and Michelle Obama, I'll also have the privilege of being on stage and in conversation with President Obama on Tuesday, October 29th. But there’s one thing I want to take with me. Your question! Submit a question you’d like to ask President Obama and there's a chance I’ll ask it on stage next Tuesday!   The theme for this year’s Summit is Places Reveal Our Purpose, the idea that our communities shape the change we want to see in the world. For me, this reminds me of how watching my own family be of service to our communities has inspired in me a desire to do the same. And that’s why I couldn’t be more excited to take the stage with President Obama for a conversation about the role each of us can play in creating the future we want to see. Let me know what you want me to ask him! It’s bound to be a powerful conversation, so don’t forget to tune in to obama.org on October 29th to watch. See you then! —Yara     Donate to support leaders and changemakers: DONATE The Barack Obama Foundation | 5235 S. Harper Ct, Suite 1140, Chicago, IL, USA 60615

κ. ΝΙΚΟΥ ΔΕΝΔΙΑ,ΥΠΟΥΡΓΟΥ ΕΞΩΤΕΡΙΚΩΝ,ενδιαφέρουσες συνεντεύξεις

Αθήνα, 24 Οκτωβρίου 2019

Συνέντευξη του Υπουργού Εξωτερικών, Νίκου Δένδια, στον ραδιοφωνικό σταθμό “Παραπολιτικά 90,1 FM”

Ο Υπουργός Εξωτερικών και Βουλευτής του Νότιου Τομέα της Β’ Αθηνών, Νίκος Δένδιας, παραχώρησε συνέντευξη σήμερα το πρωί στον ραδιοφωνικό σταθμό “Παραπολιτικά 90,1 FM”, στην εκπομπή που παρουσιάζει ο δημοσιογράφος Παναγιώτης Τζένος.

Π. ΤΖΕΝΟΣ: Φιλοξενούμε στην τηλεφωνική μας γραμμή τον Υπουργό Εξωτερικών τον κ. Νίκο Δένδια. Έναν άνθρωπο ο οποίος φαντάζομαι το τελευταίο διάστημα, από την ημέρα που ανέλαβε τα καθήκοντά του, έχει πάρα πολύ δουλειά και πάρα πολύ σοβαρή δουλειά.                                                   
Κύριε Υπουργέ καλημέρα σας. Θέλω να ξεκινήσουμε από τα ευχάριστα…. 
Είχατε μια συνάντηση με τον Πάπα χθες. Αλλά νομίζω ότι δεν ήταν μόνο θρησκευτική συνάντηση.                                          

Ν. ΔΕΝΔΙΑΣ: Καθόλου. Η επίσκεψη στο Βατικανό δεν ήταν μια επίσκεψη θρησκευτική. Έγινε υπό την ιδιότητα του Πάπα και του Αναπληρωτή Πρωθυπουργού  και του Υπουργού Εξωτερικών ως πολιτειακών αρχών.
Εμάς αυτό που μας ενδιαφέρει δεν είναι το θρησκευτικό, το αφήνουμε σε άλλους, δεν αφορά το Υπουργείο Εξωτερικών. Αυτό που μας ενδιαφέρει είναι η ευρύτατη εμπειρία του Βατικανού και οι απόψεις και η επιρροή την οποία έχει σε συγκεκριμένες περιοχές. Και δεν σας κρύβω ότι υπήρχε και ένα ειδικό θέμα συζήτησης που αφορούσε τον ευρύτερο χώρο των δυτικών Βαλκανίων και ιδίως τις χώρες, όπως τη Βοσνία Ερζεγοβίνη και την Κροατία, στις οποίες το Βατικανό έχει ρίζες, απόψεις, και πιθανόν θα εκδηλώσει και μια πρωτοβουλία τους επόμενους μήνες.

Π. ΤΖΕΝΟΣ: Έγινε συζήτηση και για το μεταναστευτικό κ. Υπουργέ;

κ. ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣ ΑΡΒΑΝΙΤΙΔΗΣ,ΒΟΥΛΕΥΤΗΣ ΚΙΝ.ΑΛ. Β'ΘΕΣ/ΚΗΣ:Ένας απορρυθμιστικός "αναπτυξιακός" νόμος

Ένας απορρυθμιστικός "αναπτυξιακός" νόμος Στην Ολομέλεια της Βουλής τοποθετήθηκε ο βουλευτής Β' Θεσσαλονίκης του Κινήματος Αλλαγής Γιώργος Αρβανιτίδης για το αναπτυξιακό νομοσχέδιο που έφερε προς ψήφιση η Κυβέρνηση. Ο κ. Αρβανιτίδης επισήμανε μεταξύ άλλων: Στόχος της Κυβέρνησης είναι η απορρύθμιση σε κάθε είδους αγορά. Την εργασιακή, την επιχειρηματική, την ενεργειακή. Από τις ιδεολογικές αγκυλώσεις του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ σε θέματα Ανάπτυξης περνάμε στις ιδεολογικές ακαμψίες της ΝΔ. Το νομοσχέδιο αυτό ΔΕΝ αντιμετωπίζει τα Ολιγοπώλεια, δεν διευκολύνει τον ανταγωνισμό και τις μικρομεσαίες επιχειρήσεις. ΔΕΝ υπάρχουν διατάξεις για πριμοδότηση όσων επιχειρήσεων εφαρμόζουν βέλτιστες περιβαλλοντικές κ αειφορικές πρακτικές, με επιπλέον κίνητρα και διευκολύνσεις ή ακόμα και προβάδισμα στην ένταξή τους σε επενδυτικούς νόμους. Η Ελλάδα χρειάζεται ένα πολύ πιο γενναίο πλαίσιο «πράσινης» αναπτυξιακής πολιτικής με χρηματοδότηση επενδύσεων ανθεκτικών στην Κλιματική Αλλαγή και λήψη μέτρων προσαρμογής σε αυτήν και ΟΧΙ…ΠΑΡΕΚΚΛΗΣΕΙΣ…τελευταίας στιγμής για «Κτήρια ειδικής αρχιτεκτονικής σχεδίασης» όπως στο αρ.205 για τις οποίες και η έκθεση του Επιστημονικού Συμβουλίου της Βουλής κάνει αναφορά ότι μπορεί να προκύψει Συνταγματικό πρόβλημα. Στο Κίνημα Αλλαγής προτάσσουμε το ζήτημα της καλύτερης προσαρμογής της οικονομίας και της κοινωνίας στις επιπτώσεις της Κλιματικής Αλλαγής μέσα από ένα "νέο πράσινο συμβόλαιο" Ανάπτυξης και Αναγέννησης για τη χώρα. Σε αυτή την κατεύθυνση είναι και η τροπολογία που κατέθεσε η Κοινοβουλευτική Ομάδα του Κινήματος Αλλαγής για την συμπλήρωση διατάξεων του ν.4162/2013 με στόχο έσοδα από τις εξορύξεις των Υδρογονανθράκων να πηγαίνουν πρώτον: στη χρηματοδότηση μεταπτυχιακών προγραμμάτων στην ενεργειακή οικονομία και την προστασία του περιβάλλοντος και δεύτερον: στην απόδοση ποσοστού 3,5% από τα έσοδα του Δημοσίου (μισθωμάτων και μεριδίων παραγωγής) στο Εθνικό Ταμείο για τη Δίκαιη Μετάβαση των λιγνιτικών περιοχών. Αντίστοιχη τροπολογία το Κίνημα Αλλαγής κατέθεσε και για τις υπερβολικές χρεώσεις των τραπεζών καθώς σε λίγο θα χρεώνεται και το πέρασμα δίπλα από τράπεζα. Σε σχέση με τα Επιχειρηματικά Πάρκα με το παρόν Νομοσχέδιο αφαιρούνται αρμοδιότητες και πόροι των Δήμων, ενώ υπήρχε ήδη ρύθμιση που προέβλεπε τη δυνατότητα συνεργασίας των Δήμων με τις εγκατεστημένες επιχειρήσεις στα Επιχειρηματικά Πάρκων. Οι νέες διατάξεις θίγουν θεσμικά και δημοσιονομικά την Τοπική Αυτοδιοίκηση και θα προκαλέσουν σοβαρά προβλήματα ιδιαίτερα στη Θεσσαλονίκη και είναι ακατανόητη η ισοπεδωτική ρύθμιση για κάθε περιοχή. Κάθε μια περιοχή, έχει τις ειδικές και ξεχωριστές δομικές και χωρικές ανάγκες, τα δικά της πολεοδομικά και χωροταξικά δεδομένα και θα έπρεπε να υπάρχουν προτάσεις βασισμένες σε μελέτες ανά περιοχή και κατά περίπτωση. Έπρεπε, το Υπουργείο σε συνεργασία με την τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση, να προβεί σε έρευνα και σύνταξη μελετών κατά περίπτωση για κάθε περιοχή, γιατί είναι λάθος να εφαρμόζεται το τι ισχύει σε μια περιοχή, στα Οινόφυτα πχ και να μεταφερθεί αυτό απλά σε μια άλλη, για παράδειγμα στο Καλοχώρι.

IGCAT INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF GASTRONOMY,CULTURE,ARTS AND TOURISM:update

IGCAT Newsletter Third Quarter 2019 IGCAT VOICE

Gastronomy is not just about food or nutrition, it is the art of senses rooted in thousands of years of Greek cultural heritage. Homer and Plato praise the social dimension of gathering and eating together, having good times together. Hippocrates the Father of Medicine highlighted the importance of good food in terms of well-being. The European Region of Gastronomy Award is for the South Aegean region, a perfect chance to communicate abroad all the wealth of its history but also to engage our local communities in a big “symposium” that helped them to revive old traditions and reveal life challenging secrets.

Our projects from health to education, sustainability to tourism evolved with stakeholders’ enthusiasm and passion and a long-term vision to leave a legacy. Celebrating the 2019 Award from IGCAT was just the beginning and we are already planning our next steps for the years to come. All our stakeholders are ready to serve this amazing title for many more years to come as they were totally inspired and motivated by the multi-dimensional effect this had in our local communities. This year’s celebrations will culminate with our hosting in Rhodes of the European Young Chef Award 2019 at the end of October. I deeply believe that the young delegates will have the opportunity to experience real Greek hospitality that is a vital part of the holistic meaning of gastronomy. I hope to also one day welcome each of you to the islands that gave birth to “gastronomy”.
