Εκατόν τριάντα μία προσωπικότητες από 23 χώρες του δυτικού κόσμου συναντώνται από χθες Πέμπτη 7-6-2018 μέχρι και την Κυριακή στο Τορίνο της Ιταλίας για την 66η ετήσια συνάντηση της λέσχης Bilderberg (Μπίλντερμπεργκ).
Σύμφωνα με την επίσημη ιστοσελίδα της λέσχης, αντικείμενο των φετινών συναντήσεων είναι να «ευνοηθεί ο διάλογος ανάμεσα στην Ευρώπη και τη Βόρεια Αμερική» και να συζητηθούν «οι ισχυρές τάσεις και τα μείζονα προβλήματα που αντιμετωπίζει ο κόσμος». Στο τέλος της συνάντησης, την Κυριακή, «δεν θα υπάρξει λεπτομερής ατζέντα, δεν θα προταθούν αποφάσεις και δεν θα διεξαχθεί καμιά ψηφοφορία», διευκρινίζει η ιστοσελίδα.
Δισεκατομμυριούχοι, επικεφαλής τραπεζών, τέσσερις πρωθυπουργοί, δύο αντιπρόεδροι κυβερνήσεων, ο γενικός γραμματέας του ΝΑΤΟ, η γερμανίδα υπουργός Άμυνας, ο βασιλιάς της Ολλανδίας, ο πρόεδρος της Airbus, καθηγητές Ιστορίας και Διεθνών Σχέσεων σε φημισμένα πανεπιστήμια και… ο ακούραστος 95χρονος πλέον Χένρι Κίσινγκερ περιλαμβάνονται μεταξύ αυτών.
Από την Ελλάδα συμμετέχουν ο αρχηγός της Νέας Δημοκρατίας Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης και ο διευθύνων σύμβουλος της τσιμεντοβιομηχανίας Τιτάν Δημήτρης Παπαλεξόπουλος.
Καθώς το θέμα της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης βρίσκεται ψηλά στην ατζέντα των φετινών συζητήσεων, η βρετανική Guardian επισημαίνει επίσης τη συμμετοχή του Ελληνοκυπρίου Ντέμη Χασάμπη, ο οποίος διευθύνει το πρόγραμμα DeepMind της Google.
