The Government Gazette published on Friday night the decision 207 B '/ 30.1.2015 by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, which defines the powers of new Minister of State Nikos Pappás. Specifically, Mr. Pappas gets all responsibilities related to the Secretariat General of Information and the General Secretariat of Communication and Promotion, including the supervision of legal bodies and entities subject to these, and also issues of the Public Broadcaster.
Nikos Pappas, an economist educated in Scotland, is the politician who will have to implement the SYRIZA plan for licensing on radio and TV. A licensing process, which according to the promises will open the door to new entrepreneurs in the media, but live outside media brands that are not able to work under sustainable economical conditions.
As if irony of fate, Nikos Pappas starts with the same ministerial position, with which Evangelos Venizelos started his political carrer in 1994. Evangelos Venizelos and Nikos Pappas had a political conforntaion in 2012, since the latter insisted that the tax evaders' list given by Christine Lagarde should be published.
