Antonis Samaras

Former Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis once again focused on Greek-Turkish relations, speaking at an event marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Karpathos. “I am not questioning anyone’s patriotism,” he made clear, drawing a line from the positions of Antonis Samaras that led to his expulsion from New Democracy.

A former lawmaker for governing New Democracy announced his resignation from the center-right party on Thursday, in opposition to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mistotakis' recent ouster of ex-premier Antonis Samaras.

The most characteristic example of "wokeness" in Greece today is the fact that while the former leader of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kaselakis, is openly gay, this was not considered a disadvantage, nor was it the subject of criticism. Diversity is increasingly being accepted by Greek society.

Most prime ministers in the post-dictatorship period have wanted to come to some form of agreement with Turkey. Konstantinos Karamanlis certainly did, Andreas Papandreou made a solid effort at Davos, Konstantinos Mitsotakis thought of it constantly and Kostas Simitis pursued it systematically.

The new political landscape, marked by SYRIZA’s recent split and the “changing of the guard” in the main opposition, heralds a volatile political scene. If current public opinion trends are reflected at the polls, the next parliamentary composition will be the most fragmented in Greece’s political history.

“I’m moved,” said Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis regarding the opening of the Thessaloniki Metro, during an interview on Ant1, in which he announced his candidacy for the premiership in 2027. He emphasized his belief in single-party governments and also touched upon Greek-Turkish relations.

An interesting political development emerged from Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ interview on Alpha TV’s Autopsia with Antonis Sroiter, amidst a fragmented polling landscape fille

A new nationwide survey by Pulse showed ruling New Democracy maintaining a significant lead, with socialist PASOK solidifying its position in second place.

A poll by Pulse, presented on Skai’s main news bulletin, gives New Democracy an expanded lead of 12.5 points over PASOK, which, however, remains the big winner of the current political situation.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis gives a clear response to Antonis Samaras, just days after his expulsion, speaking on Alpha TV’s show “Autopsia” with Antonis Sroiter.
