Greece is set to pilot a four-day work week, introducing flexible employment arrangements that could become a permanent fixture by autumn. The initiative has been agreed upon with employees and is slated to transition into a permanent system from January 1, 2027. This change will impact a significant number of pensioners, estimated at 671,586 individuals.

The newspaper "Ta Nea" also reports on upcoming changes to pricing structures, highlighting potential pitfalls for consumers. In a separate development, a recent poll indicates a low level of public trust in the Greek government, with only 24% expressing confidence. Political parties fare even worse, with just 15% trust, while the justice system garnishes 39% confidence. The Greek Armed Forces are the only institution to surpass a satisfactory trust threshold.

Additional news includes a report on a football match where Paraguay defeated Germany 1-0, with a header from Enciso. The publication also alerts readers to a strong explosion in a residential building in Monaco, which has reportedly injured three people.
