Thursday’s episode opened with a look at current affairs, as reflected in major news portals and newspaper front pages. We then welcomed Dr. Nikitas Kanakis, Vice President of Doctors of the World -Greece, to the studio. He spoke about the major humanitarian crises around the globe where the organization is active—at a time, as he noted, when humanitarian groups are under pressure and the logic of Homo Economicus dominates the international agenda.
In the second hour, following our international news round-up with Ivana Djordjevic, we aired an interview with Vasilis Voulgaris, publisher of europolitis.eu, who lives in Germany. The discussion was prompted by his recent appointment as Secretary for the Greek Diaspora by the PASOK party.
The show concluded with a live phone-in from Basel, Switzerland, where ERT correspondent Kelly Vranaki shared the latest updates from the Greek delegation—and Klavdia herself—just hours before her performance in the second Eurovision semifinal.
