On the Thursday, September 12th episode, marking the official start of the 2024-2025 season, after reviewing the newspaper headlines, we hosted political scientist Lefteris Kousoulis. We discussed the significance of party brand names and whether they hold weight in today’s political landscape. Kousoulis focused particularly on the cases of PASOK and SYRIZA, and concluded by offering his prediction on how things might unfold for the main opposition party following the ousting of Stefanos Kasselakis.
Ivana Djorjevic wrapped up the first hour with international news.
At the start of the second hour, we delved into the issue of school and department mergers, spurred by protests from parents and educators against the Ministry of Education’s decisions. Stella Valavani, president of the Federation of Parents of the Attica Region, provided insight on the topic.
Next, we connected with Panagiotis Mytilineos, a journalist in Santorini, discussing the closure of the local branch of the National Conservatory. The owner of the building decided to rent it for short-term leases, leaving 100 students without access to music education.
The show concluded with Antigone Drakatou, a journalist from ERA Sport, in the studio for sports news updates.
