Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
ATHENS – SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance leader Alexis Tsipras stated his firm commitment to support railway workers during his speech in Piraeus on Tuesday evening.
Piraeus is one of three constituencies where the main opposition party leader is running as a candidate MP in the upcoming May 21 elections, the other two being the Dodecanese Islands and the prefecture of Serres in northern Greece.
He chose to run in Piraeus because of its association with the history of labour struggles, the efforts of small and medium entrepreneurship, and the country’s shipping industry.
Tsipras mentioned that he met earlier on the day with Urban Rail Transport (STASY) workers’ unions, and said he would reduce the price of the monthly travelcard in urban transport from the current 27 euros to 10 euros.
Concerning more local transport issues, Tsipras said he would like to revive an older agreement for the construction “of the so-called Hippodamia market at the [former] green bus depot, which would be an oasis for the region and for the local community” in Piraeus.
Finally, he mentioned Syriza’s plan to put ISAP’s Faliro-Piraeus segment underground.
