Greek Parliament Rejects Amendment Freezing Ministry Of Finance Funds For Electric Interconnection

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

December 18, 2025

The Greek Parliament recently convened to deliberate an amendment that would have frozen approximately €54 million in funds earmarked for the country’s electric interconnection project. The proposed measure targeted disbursements intended for 2025 and 2026, allocated as two installments of €25 million each to the implementation body, ADME.

Amendment Details And Fiscal Implications

The amendment specifically aimed to suspend the disbursement of funds from the Ministry of Finance. By freezing these funds, the government would have effectively delayed financial commitments related to vital energy infrastructure. However, the motion was narrowly rejected, with a vote tally of 27 in favor and 28 against, highlighting the contentious nature of the decision.

Voting Dynamics And Political Rift

The split in the parliamentary vote underscored political divisions. Members of AKEL, EDEK, DIKA, and the Green Party emerged as staunch supporters of the fund commitment. Additionally, notable votes in favor came from DISY MP Kyriakos Chatziyanis, DIKO MPs Zacharias Koulias and Christos Orfanidis, as well as independent MP Alexandra Attalidou. In contrast, members from DISY, DIKO, and independents such as Andreas Apostolou and Michalis Giakoumi opposed the amendment.

Looking Ahead: Financial Flexibility For Infrastructure Projects

With the rejection of the amendment, the Ministry of Finance retains the authority to release the designated funds at its discretion—free from further parliamentary oversight. This development places the onus on the Ministry to manage the financial aspects of the electric interconnection project, ensuring that strategic decisions regarding fiscal resources can be made swiftly in response to evolving market or infrastructural conditions.

Anthropic Launches Claude Fable 5 With New AI Safety Controls

June 10, 2026

New Model Sets The Bar For AI Safety And Efficiency

Anthropic has launched Claude Fable 5, the latest public version of its Mythos model, expanding access to a system designed for software engineering, knowledge work and computer vision tasks. The company said high-risk requests involving areas such as cybersecurity, biology, chemistry and AI model distillation will be redirected to Claude Opus 4.8, which has been configured with additional safeguards.

Strategic Rollout And Broader Accessibility

Mythos was initially made available to a limited group of partners in April as Anthropic evaluated potential cybersecurity risks associated with the model. Access was expanded last week to hundreds of organisations across 15 countries, primarily those operating critical infrastructure. Claude Fable 5 is now available through Anthropic’s Claude API and usage-based Enterprise plans. Early access has also been included in selected subscription tiers ahead of a broader pricing rollout scheduled for June 23.

Advancing Safety And Industry Standards

Anthropic said the model underwent extensive safety testing before release, including bug bounty programmes and red-team exercises conducted by external organisations. According to the company, more than 1,000 hours of testing did not identify any universal jailbreak vulnerabilities.

A mandatory 30-day data retention policy will apply to all traffic processed by the model, including accounts that previously operated under zero-retention agreements. Anthropic said the measure is intended to improve monitoring and protection against emerging security threats.

Outstanding Performance And Competitive Pricing

Independent evaluations, including testing by analytics company Hex, reported strong performance in complex reasoning and analytical tasks. Companies, including Base44 and Genspark, highlighted improvements in tool use and interface design capabilities. Pricing has been set at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, compared with lower rates for previous models. Some enterprise customers, including Rakuten, said the model’s ability to verify aspects of its own output could help improve efficiency in tasks that require higher levels of accuracy.

Implications For The AI Market

The release comes as Anthropic prepares for a potential public market debut, and competition among leading AI developers continues to intensify. Alongside performance improvements, the company has placed significant emphasis on model safety, reflecting broader industry concerns around misuse, jailbreak attempts and the risks associated with increasingly capable AI systems.
