An explosion at a Motor Oil facility has left several injured and three individuals in custody as investigators examine the cause. The government's economic projections are being revised downward; the public is already adjusting its own, with consumers cutting household spending as the cost of living remains the primary impediment to growth.
The prime minister is in Brussels asking the European Union for more resources and 'flexibility' on energy rules, arguing that domestic budgets cannot absorb further cuts. While Athens seeks more from its neighbors, it is struggling to collect from its own: tax authorities report that 34,000 taxpayers failed to declare some €105 million in income.
Health officials are monitoring a record number of West Nile virus cases following a report from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. In the capital, the misery is more terrestrial, as commuters on the Kifisos Road face gridlock that has turned the city’s main arteries red.
