Fresh doubts raised over privatization of 14 Greek airports

``Fresh doubts were raised on Wednesday after the government finalized a 1.23-billion-euro deal (1.36 billion U.S. dollars) with the German consortium Fraport-Slentel on Tuesday to privatize 14 regional airports in Greece... the ruling SYRIZA party's hardliners denounced the "sell off" in a statement. Left Platform accused the government of "handing a great gift to the German government in return for the new catastrophic bailout.''... Critics argued that the funds the German consortium would invest in the upgrade of the airports under the contract were insufficient and the cost will undoubtedly be transferred to travelers.''
