Opposition politicians and a large segment of the public have become outraged by the decision of the competent Council of Korydallos Prison to grant a two-day leave of absence to Dimitris Koufodi, who was sentenced to 11 times life imprisonment as a key member and executioner of the terrorist organization "November 17".

Greece urgently needs to reform and modernise its tax system, making it fairer, simpler and more friendly to businesses and entrepreneurs, main opposition New Democracy MP and shadow minister for growth Dora Bakoyannis said in an exclusive interview with Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) journalist Dimitris Harontakis.

Dora Bakoyannis demanded more social actions by the government on the occasion of the discussion of the draft budget for 2015 and brought up the issue of a drastic reduction of the tax burden.
