Interior Minister Takis Theodorikakos told SKAI news outlet on Saturday that the government pursued all feasible ways, and, as he said, it "did all that could be done," to see its legislation on granting full voting rights to expatriate Greeks gain a broad majority of at least 200 votes in the 300-seat parliament on Wednesday, when the relevant bill will be voted through by the plenum. 

Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister for Expatriate Greeks Antonis Diamataris on Wednesday assured the President of the Melbourne Greek Community Vasilis Papastergiadis that the Greek state will make every effort to support Greeks throughout Australia, in a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Athens.
