On Friday’s program, 17 April 2026, following the introduction and a review of the day’s front-page headlines from the press and online media, we assessed the parliamentary debate on the rule of law at the level of party leaders, with Andreas Marathias, parliamentary editor at ERTnews Radio 105.8. Toward the end of the first hour, Ivana Tzortzevits brought us up to date on international developments.
At the start of the second hour, we discussed rising rents in Greece—which, according to official data, ranks second among EU countries with an increase of 10.1%—with Themis Bakas, president of the Panhellenic Network of E-Real Estates.
Immediately afterwards, internationally acclaimed architect, urban planner, and historian of urban planning Alexandros Papageorgiou-Venetas joined us in the studio. The conversation touched on both his life and scientific career, as well as the Athens he loves—the city of his childhood, the city he saw evolve alongside him over the years, and the modern city, which continues to expand both within and beyond the metropolitan basin.
The program concluded with sports news from Michalis Ladopoulos.
