Two in every three new electric buses remain parked
It will take months for all 140 new electric buses Greece has just acquired to be put into service, with officials from the Ministry of Transport pointing to late August or early September. Until then the new buses will hit the streets at various stages.
“All 140 electric buses have been integrated into the transport project of the capital. Of these, 46 buses today – for the first time – serve citizens. And in the coming weeks, their number is expected to double,” the ministry said in a statement last Friday.
In fact, out of the 140 buses, only 46 can now circulate, with the other 94 being parked at bus garages. The reason is that the project of permanently installing the charging infrastructure has not been completed in time.

North Macedonia president’s website ditches country’s constitutional name
The official website of the president of North Macedonia has removed references to the constitutional name of the country from its home page and replaced it with the abbreviation “MK” or simply “Macedonia.”
The move follows the recent election President Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, who caused a diplomatic row with Greece after referring to her country as “Macedonia” during her inauguration, in violation of the Prespa agreement, signed in 2018 between the two countries that resolved a long-standing disagreement over the state’s name. https://www.ekathimerini.com/politics/foreign-policy/1239321/website-of-north-macedonia-president-ditches-countrys-constitutional-name/

Over a fifth of endangered species in Greece under threat of extinction
Over a fifth of the 11,500 endangered animal, plant and fungi species in Greece are “critically endangered,” meaning they are under threat of extinction, a new assessment of the country’s Red List has found.
The Environment Ministry published the revised list to mark European Natura 2000 Day, the anniversary of the creation in 1992 of what is now the world’s largest coordinated network of protected areas that now includes more than 27,000 sites.
The species included in the Greek Red List have been assessed according to the criteria set by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).[/b] https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1239304/over-a-fifth-of-endangered-species-in-greece-under-threat-of-extinction/
