The show kicked off with an interview featuring Christos Kotsireas, a photojournalist and member of the Coordinating Struggle for Free Beaches. We discussed the efforts of citizens in the municipality of Saronikos to prevent a private company from fencing off a large section of the beach area between Lagonisi and Saronida. This issue stems from a concession initially granted in two phases in 2002 and 2003 and subsequently handed over to the superfund of public assets.
Following the newspapers’ review, we had a conversation with economist and professor at Panteion University, Mr. Kostas Melas, about the impact of tensions in the Middle East on the global economy and markets.
Before 11 AM, Ivana Djordjevic provided updates on international news.
In the second hour, Mr. Dimosthenis Anagnostopoulos, Secretary-General of Information Systems at the Ministry of Digital Governance, spoke about the “My Coast” app. This mobile application aids authorities in combating illegal interventions by private individuals on beaches, such as violations involving umbrellas, sunbeds, and other installations.
Thomais Papaioannou, ERT’s correspondent in Paris, updated us on the Olympic Games, the public’s response in Paris, the issue of polluted waters in the Seine, and information about the Closing Ceremony on Sunday.
Shortly after 11:30, we talked with Christina Tetradi, Vice President of the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels,, about tourist traffic and the situation with short-term rentals. The show concluded with sports updates from Grigoris Nanis in the studio of “The Voice of Greece.”
