Greece's Tsipras to cut taxes and hike pensions
The left-wing prime minister said his government would reward the Greek people for their "sacrifices." The move comes as his Syriza party lags in the polls behind the main opposition party.

Greece's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras pledged Tuesday to cut taxes and increase pensions after years of austerity in the debt-laden country.

"The time has come for the sacrifices of the Greek people to be rewarded," he said. "The money is on the table."

At a hastily organized press conference, the prime minister said his government would:

    Cut value-added tax on food from 24% to 13%.
    Decrease electricity and gas taxes from 13% to 6%.
    Reduce hotel accommodation tax from 13% to 11%.
    Give poorer retirees an average of half-a-month's extra pension every year.

Heard the beginnings of a strange story about a professional assassination in the suburbs of Piraeus involving a 52 year old victim originally from Agia Efimia, Kefalonia. More news as the story reveals itself.

Hundreds of swinger couples have arrived on the island of Crete, ready to engage in their annual spouse sharing.

The 177 couples, who paid to experience their erotic fantasies in a “hot” six-day sex marathon descended on the Greek island and will stay at a 5-star luxury hotel in the area of Stalida.

Most swinging couples hail from Latin America, while three of them come from Greece.
