New Democracy and PASOK, which shared power before SYRIZA came to power, condemned the new austerity measures, as did centrist Potami.

ND’s rapporteur Nikos Panayiotopoulos slammed the bill as recessionary, “loading new tax burdens on already overtaxed citizens.” He said, however, that ND would support provisions foreseeing a harsher crackdown on tax evasion.

The last wolf in the UK was shot centuries ago, but now a "rewilding" process could see them return to Scotland.

The wolf's population has quadrupled in Europe since 1970, and the fact that they remain extinct in Britain is increasingly anomalous.

With the return of the beaver, the success of the wild cat, a growing call for the return of the lynx, as well as an EU directive obliging governments to consider the reintroduction of extinct species, could it be time for the wolf's return?
