A Cabinet member, deputy minister Giorgos Mylonakis, remained in serious but stable condition after suffering a possible brain aneurysm earlier on Wednesday during a meeting at the Maximos Mansion in Athens.
According to reports, Mylonakis was rushed to the nearby Evangelismos Hospital at around 9:30 a.m. after passing out at the meeting, which was chaired by PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis. He underwent an embolization procedure, which physicians said was completed successfully.
Mylonakis, who holds the deputy to the prime minister portfolio, was later intubated at the hospital’s ICU.
Hospital officials said that while Mylonakis’ situation remains serious, it is under control.
The incident occurred during a regular morning meeting at the prime minister’s office.
Mitsotakis later arrived at the hospital to be briefed on Mylonakis’ condition. Also present were Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis and the man’s relatives.
Physicians emphasized that although the procedure was successful, the deputy minister’s condition requires close observation in the coming days.
