PARKINSON'S A MODERN DISEASE
PARKINSON'S A MODERN DISEASE
Written by Konstantinos Konstantinidis Amphiktyon Parkinson's is a more terrifying disease No other is more serious It lasts for years and decades the patient undergoes trials And the family makes financial and other sacrifices It creates collateral diseases in the patient Immobility is a cause for pathogens Currently incurable disease Medicines improve the patient but leave the cause intact Parkinson's has spread It has become a social disease However, the state is slow in dealing with it Its causes are in the brain The nervous system is fragile It lasts for years, evolving for the worse In the modern world, very widespread Neither a person who is a sufferer nor an animal who reduced responsibility, innocent Constantly and with the time of day changes rhythm Sometimes wakes up cheerful and sometimes sullen Stopped smiling Sleeps most of the day And often wakes up Starts with tremors and motor problems With the exception of short breaks Falls often and gets hit However, her sufferings are not lessons She does not use her walker Undisciplined, she risks it and attempts She went to the KAT for hospitalization She takes tests for the slightest reason She lives with a multi-drug store She scatters things on the floor due to the illness "Bringing them to the ground" due to nervous weakness Difficulty in pronunciation and communication In an advanced stage, it also affects speech Now she also suffers from hearing loss Maybe Parkinson's is the cause? It creates side diseases and dyskinesia At home she moves alone in a wheelchair Outside she needs an attendant to "roll" her She walks with great difficulty Sometimes she straightens her legs in complete immobility, Until the brain gives the order Why is she dysfunctioning She presents a terrible mask She often cries and never laughs, not even at a joke "I have to leave quickly" she tells us and our heart cries A person unhappy Struck by fate Drawn away from every activity Drawn away from joy The hyperactive Mermaid in a stormy sea Her head constantly rests on the table She does not participate in conversations that others have She is indifferent to every task She has limited communication Danger of leaving her alone She can create dangerous situations A fire could burn down the house The fireplace if she lights up or leaves an eye open A person of reduced responsibility, the lioness from Delphi She has now become frightened She often breaks out in nervous breakdowns Her intelligence has weakened She transmits her thoughts with difficulty All systems malfunction The disease has deregulated them When the brain is deregulated The person becomes unhappy and "crazy" This breaks your heart and breaks it Melancholy prevails throughout the house You pretend to be a theater person to encourage her But her spirits decline every day She is on a downward spiral She is heading towards chaos Sometimes she chokes on food As if a leech had attached itself When you think about what will happen? You go crazy! She has forgotten many everyday things While she was meticulous about class, now she has become indifferent Her son here wants to make her new And takes her to doctors to heal her Everyday and new behavior She likes human company She feels the love and seeks it Today everyone is busy No one looks at the other Not excluding the writer Stingy with time for the benefit of the sufferer The house is dysfunctional but it doesn't matter As long as she lives, let it... break Everyone's attention is focused on her No more traveling for a decade No more holidays, no more festivals Always in our 65-year life we enjoyed everything to the best of our ability She never showed jealousy Now lately she checks every absence To you at this age she suspects yes for... infidelity I excuse her because she hangs on me with anxiety Her son promised to make her a medicine doctor But that is far away, Mother Nature hides her purpose She has LOVE for all of us(4/4/25)Tuesday, 1 April 2025
Acquiring property in Greece
Acquiring property in Greece
By Christos ILIOPOULOS*
Athens, 28 March 2025
Buying property in Greece requires both legal and technical due diligence to ensure a smooth transaction and to avoid legal or technical issues. A prospective buyer, especially one who does not live in Greece, would consider the following, once he/she has decided which property to buy and at what price.
The most important part of due diligence in acquiring real estate property in Greece is the legal title search. Hiring a lawyer specializing in real estate law is essential to verify property ownership, legal status, and any encumbrances. The attorney will be chosen and hired by the buyer and ideally should not have been already involved with the seller, to avoid ethical conflict. The most important issue is the title deed verification, which will ensure for the buyer the confirmation that the seller has a clear and undisputed ownership title. The title check will verify and examine not only the last acquisition of the property by the present seller, but also the previous deeds and transactions, going back a minimum of twenty and ideally forty or more years, to ensure that proper legal transfers of the property have taken place in the past. The lawyer will also ensure the title is registered correctly with the Hellenic Cadastre (Ktimatologio) more recently, and with the old land registry several years or decades ago. The title search will also include check for any legal burdens (e.g., mortgages, liens, claims, or legal disputes).
Another part of the legal check involves tax and financial obligations. It will confirm the seller has paid all property taxes, including ENFIA (property tax) and municipal taxes and it will require the seller to obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate. A prospective buyer in Greece presently (March 2025) will not have to pay VAT on a newly built property, since the related tax regulations have been suspended for the last several years. It is not certain, however, for how many more years the suspension of the law for VAT on new houses / apartments will last.
Especially when the property to be acquired is not an apartment, but a house or a plot, the seller should retain also a civil engineer or architect, to check legal compliance & permits, to ensure that any structures on the property were built legally and have the required permits, to confirm compliance with Greek planning laws and to check for any pending fines or violations. The technical check will also include a recent survey map for verification that the plot or land complies with local zoning laws and whether it is suitable for the intended use (residential, commercial, or investment). Checks with regards to any building restrictions, especially in coastal, archaeological, or forested areas must also be done.
The deed by which the property will be acquired is signed before a notary in Greece, who has the responsibility to collect, review and attach to the deed all certificates and other documents required by law, in order to ensure that the recent measurements of the property match the titles and in general to provide an accurate legal and technical description of the property in a way that outlines a detailed identity for the real estate which is being transferred from the seller to the buyer. The notarial deed must be registered with the land registry or cadastre in order to obtain legal validity. The notary is traditionally chosen and paid by the buyer.
Although payment of the consideration (the price for the property) by the buyer can be done via a foreign bank, it is advisable that the buyer should open an account at a Greek bank, in order to be able to do transactions related to the property to be purchased.
The buyer must obtain a Greek tax number called AFM. The buyer will remain a foreign tax resident for the Greek tax authority, so that he/she does not have to file taxes in Greece for income acquired in another country.

THIS IS HOW THE BLOT OF IGNORANCE WILL BE WASHED OUT
THIS IS HOW THE BLOT OF IGNORANCE WILL BE WASHED OUT
Written by Konstantinos Konstantinidis of children,
most of whom were high school students, began the glorious struggle to liberate
their long-awaited homeland. Its leader was the heroic Synd/rhis Georgios Grivas, known
from the 1940 war against the Italian invaders and the Occupation against the
communists under the nickname "Digenes". In the 1950 referendum, the
Cypriot people had expressed their desire for UNION with the motherland by
95.7%. The struggle of EOKA lasted four years and ended with the bifurcated
constitution given in the Zurich and London Agreements. It was clearer than ever that
once they made Turkey their partner, what the martyred Cyprus is facing would
happen, namely the invasion of Attila and the partition which took place in
1974. The green light for the invasion was given to us by our faithful allies
in all wars, the English head of the Foreign Office Harold Macmillan and the
American Secretary of State H. Kissinger. Of course, the huge mistakes
of the Junta, the Greek politicians of the time and Makarios are also to blame. Cyprus suffered a terrible
genocide (200,000 uprooted refugees, 5,500 dead, 1,850 missing, most of whom
have not yet been found, and 36% under Turkish occupation for 50 years. Since
then, Cyprus has been in extreme insecurity and destabilization. The Cyprus
Tragedy has been written in black letters in Greek History and we expect our
friendly allies, the British and Americans, to make amends for the crime they
committed then and for Cyprus to be liberated from the 45,000-strong Turkish
occupation army. We are confident that the philhellene King Charles, Queen
Camilla and the Crown Prince William and Princess Catherine will become fervent
supporters as much as they can. of the liberation of the
island of Aphrodite. They will be written in golden
letters in modern Greek History, like Lord Byron, George Canning, etc. Thus a
black stain of GRATITUDE will be washed away in the always good and friendly
relations of our peoples. We Greeks will be eternally Grateful and always loyal
allies at their side. (1/4/25)
