Maria Georgiou

The government is due to select a new president and prosecutor for the Supreme Court by the end of the month, responding to the urgent need for reform, given the enormous problems in justice system, and in particular delays in issuing judgments.

When the current president of the Supreme Court, Maria Georgiou, assumed office in June 2021, she immediately ruled that judges who were not doing their jobs properly, to the detriment of citizens and the institution of the judiciary, should be removed.

The President of the Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou extended an invitation to the leadership of the Greek justice system and the plenary of the Bar Association Presidents on January 16 to discuss and attempt to solve the issues plaguing the Greek justice system.
