\nthe coronavirus, according to authorities. These were the largest protests to
\ndate against the health permit, a document that states that the holder has
\neither been completely vaccinated, has recently been tested negative or has had
\nCovid-19 and has recently recovered. Thousands took to the streets of Paris,
\nToulon and Nice, shouting freedom. Starting Monday, the French will need this
\npermit to enter cafes, restaurants, nursing homes and some shopping malls.

\nII the Archbishop of Athens and All
\nGreece, a message of compassion for the suffering of those affected by
\nwildfires. More than 1,000 firefighters are trying to put out the blaze. More than 100 Romanian firefighters, with
\n23 special vehicles, have been helping since Sunday. While the flames in the
\nnorthern suburbs of Athens have been partially extinguished, they continue to
\nwreak havoc, especially in the north of the island of Evia, but also in the
\nPeloponnese. Thousands of people left their homes, many were evacuated by ferry,
\nhouses were burned and tens of thousands of hectares of vegetation turned to
\nashes. In another move, two Romanian Air
\nForce planes have intervened in North Macedonia in support of the authorities
\nin this country, which is also affected by wildfires. In Turkey, too, the worst
\nfires reported in the past decade have killed at least eight people and
\ndestroyed 100,000 hectares of forest and farming land.<\/p>\n

\nMinister Bogdan Aurescu welcomes the publication, on Sunday, of the Declaration
\nof the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and
\nSecurity Policy, Josep Borrell, on behalf of the 27 member states, condemning
\nthe recent attack on the tanker ‘Mercer Street’, as a result of which a
\nRomanian and a Brit lost their lives. Through the Declaration, the 27 reaffirm
\nthe illegal and unjustified nature of the attack off the coast of Oman and
\nreconfirm that it’s a violation of international law. At the same time, the 27
\nemphasize the importance of guaranteeing freedom of navigation, in accordance
\nwith international law. Last but not least, the Declaration reaffirms Iran’s
\nresponsibility for the attack, stressing that all available evidence clearly
\nindicates it as the perpetrator. On Friday, the G7 foreign ministers also
\naccused Tehran of being responsible for the attack on the oil tanker. Iran has
\ndenied any involvement, saying the allegations are unfounded.<\/p>\n
