Washington, D.C., United States of America

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Parliamentary Assembly delegation to the NATO Summit, in Washington, D.C., United States of America. Led by the Assembly’s President, Gerald Connolly, the delegation includes Members of Canada’s Parliament.

They condemned in the strongest possible terms Russia’s increased indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations and infrastructure and reaffirmed support to Ukraine. They also discussed shared priorities for this year’s NATO Summit, including bolstering defence and deterrence, enhancing industrial defence capacity and co-operation, as well as addressing other emerging security threats and challenges.

Μαρία Συρεγγέλα: Καλώ όλες τις συναδέλφισσές μου στη Βουλή να υψώσουμε μαζί τη φωνή μας απέναντι στο «βούλωστο»

 

Αθήνα, 16 Ιουλίου 2024   Μαρία Συρεγγέλα: Καλώ όλες τις συναδέλφισσές μου στη Βουλή να υψώσουμε μαζί τη φωνή μας απέναντι στο «βούλωστο».   Η Γραμματέας της Πολιτικής Επιτροπής της Νέας Δημοκρατίας Μαρία Συρεγγέλα έκανε την ακόλουθη δήλωση: «Χθες βράδυ σε τηλεοπτική εκπομπή, ο βουλευτής Χανίων του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ κ. Πολάκης μου επιτέθηκε και αφού πρώτα ζήτησε να “πάω να κάνω καμιά δουλειά”, στη συνέχεια με το γνωστό τραμπούκικο ύφος του, μου είπε “να το βουλώσω”! Προφανώς και δεν περιμένω από τον κ. Κασσελάκη να καταδικάσει τη συμπεριφορά του κ. Πολάκη ή να επιδείξει την δήθεν κοινωνική του ευαισθησία, διαγράφοντάς τον. Είναι ξεκάθαρο άλλωστε ότι στον ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, ανεξαρτήτως ηγεσίας, ο “πολακισμός” αποτελεί την επίσημη έκφραση της αθλιότητας με την οποία καλύπτουν την πολιτική τους ανεπάρκεια. Όμως, στο όνομα όλων των γυναικών που δέχονται ή άκουσαν αντίστοιχες ύβρεις, καλώ τις συναδέλφισσές μου στο Ελληνικό Κοινοβούλιο, καθώς και τους τομείς Δικαιωμάτων και Ισότητας τόσο του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ όσο και όλων των κομμάτων να πάρουν καθαρά θέση και να υψώσουμε μαζί τη φωνή μας απέναντι στο “βούλωστο”. Οι ύβρεις, ο μισογυνισμός και οι τοξικές επιθέσεις δεν έχουν θέση όχι μόνο στη Βουλή ή στην πολιτική “αρένα”, αλλά κυρίως στην κοινωνία. Πάντως, ας μην ξεχνούν και ο κ. Πολάκης και ο ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, ότι στη Νέα Δημοκρατία ποτέ δεν φοβηθήκαμε, ούτε πρόκειται να φοβηθούμε θρασύδειλους πολιτικούς τραμπούκους».

Dear MARIA, We just published a new blog—please find the full text below.  Europe Can Better Support Venture Capital to Boost Growth and Productivity (Credit: IMF Photo) By Nathaniel Arnold, Guillaume Claveres, and Jan Frie The European Union has a productivity problem. Its people produce nearly 30 percent less per hour worked than they would have, had real output per hour worked increased in line with that in the United States since 2000. A failure to sufficiently develop innovative startups into “superstar” firms is one of the reasons for the bloc’s poor productivity growth. Europe’s fragmented economy and financial system partly underly this problem. Without a more frictionless single market for goods, services, labor, and capital, it’s more expensive and difficult for successful startups to scale up. On top of that, Europe’s bank-based financial system is not well-suited to finance risky startups. High-tech startups often develop new technologies and business models, which are risky and may be hard for banks to assess. And the value of startups often lies in their people, ideas, and other intangible capital, which is difficult to pledge as collateral for a bank loan. Banks are also constrained by rules that (rightly) limit lending to risky firms without collateral—even fast-growing ones that are likely to make large profits later.
