Greek legislature

March 22 marked World Water Day and the launch of the 2023 UN Water Conference in New York. Last week also marked one of the most important debates for the Greek legislature and the Mitsotakis government regarding transforming Greece's water management.

Main opposition leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis comfortably won Greece's parliamentary elections Sunday, delivering a stinging blow to leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras after a tumultuous four years in office as the country struggled through a crippling financial crisis.

Greek police used teargas on Thursday to disperse crowds gathered outside Parliament protesting a deal over the Prespes agreement.

Several thousand people had assembled outside the Greek legislature chanting "traitors" as lawmakers debated ratification of an agreement reached with the neighboring ex-Yugoslav state last year. [Reuters]
