New Democracy European Parliament

A nurse has reportedly been fired by the private health clinic Ippokratis in Piraeus because she shared a Facebook post that lambasted Alternate Health Minister Pavlos Polakis.

Greek news websites reported that Polakis' wife is employed by the same clinic.

Main opposition leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis said he will table a no confidence motion next week against Alternate Health Minister Pavlos Polakis, who denounced a New Democracy European Parliament candidate because the latter, who is paraplegic, had been hired as a National Health service doctor under a procedure in which the applicant's disability is taken into account in the hiring point system
