Kyriakos Mitsotakis

Speech by the Minister of Development, Takis Theodoricakos, at the 28th annual Economist Government Roundtable:

Main opposition SYRIZA parliamentary group Leader Sokratis Famellos said in an interview on SKAI TV Wednesday that "Stefanos Kasselakis' role and position are not in question."

"SYRIZA must improve with unity and collectivity. That's what we decided," Famellos said, emphasizing that the public values political substance over who holds the chair.

MP Lefteris Avgenakis has been officially expelled from the New Democracy parliamentary group after footage emerged on Wednesday showing him assaulting an airport employee. 

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis referred him to the party's ethics committee, which decided to have him expelled.

Athens Prosecutor Antonis Eleftherianos has ordered a preliminary investigation into former minister and New Democracy MP Lefteris Avgenakis after footage emerged showing him assaulting an airport employee.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has referred MP Lefteris Avgenakis to New Democracy's ethics committee with a request for his expulsion. The committee is expected to endorse Mitsotakis' recommendation.

Greek opposition parties on Wednesday urged the country's conservative prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, to expel a former minister from his party following allegations of assault.

The crush of candidates for PASOK's leadership, the perpetual subdivision of SYRIZA in the Kasselakis vortex, the increasing attacks on the cohesive material in New Democracy (i.e. the promise of remaining in power under Kyriakos Mitsotakis) are all healthy elements of democracy.

Underscoring Athens' unwavering stance, Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis said on Tuesday that Greece's objections to Albania and North Macedonia are not bilateral in nature, but touch on the European acquis.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis remained steadfast in his choice to keep his tone low despite the harsh criticism of government policies and choices by his conservative predecessors Kostas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras on Monday night at an event at the War Museum in Athens.

At the Maximou , all composure reserves were called upon to handle the critiques delivered at the War Museum by former prime ministers Kostas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras. They used an event for the presentation of a book about Karamanlis’ term to deliver a robust and nearly comprehensive critique of the current administration.
