Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said the country’s public health system is becoming more effective and patient-centered, citing hospital renovations, new hires, salary upgrades, and encouraging patient feedback on emergency services

A key point in the Prime Minister’s message was the expansion of the digital work card, now covering nearly two million employees, including those in tourism and hospitality.

In 2025, the prime minister stressed that Greece no longer needs scandals but demands truth, even if it exposes ongoing dysfunctions.

A central concern in his update was the wave of wildfires that began on Saturday, placing immense strain on Greece’s emergency response infrastructure.

“We will focus on 25 priorities, basic reforms, which will make up the core of our government plan from now until the end of the year,” Mitsotakis said.

A central theme of the discussion was the continued coordination between Greece and Egypt on matters concerning maritime zones in the Eastern Mediterranean.

He also dismissed Ankara's annoyance with the declaration of a marine park in the Greek territorial waters in the southern Aegean, saying Athens doesn't discuss issues of sovereignty

Traveling from regions of Thessaly, Macedonia, and Central Greece, the demonstrators arrived armed with banners, demanding a direct meeting with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The Ionian and southern Cyclades regions — selected for the new parks — are known for their rich marine biodiversity and cultural significance

Tasoulas paid tribute to the Greeks and Cypriots who fought and sacrificed their lives in 1974 to defend the independence

Mitsotakis said he was still “determined” to honor the mandate the citizens had entrusted him with for “a stronger Greece”

The envelope was reportedly found among the Parliament’s incoming mail and is believed to contain an unidentified powder.

Mitsotakis conveyed a message of perseverance, affirming the government’s intention to continue working through the current term with the conviction that Greece can improve further.

Mitsotakis emphasized the state’s responsibility to stand by the monastic republic and the broader Christian communities in the surrounding regions, including the Middle East.

The meeting's two key items are: the unfolding situation in the Middle East and a major decision regarding the upgrade of four MEKO-class frigates in the Hellenic Navy.

“The state has proven inadequate in addressing the chronic dysfunctions of OPEKEPE,” Mitsotakis said in his opening remarks

The political atmosphere has grown increasingly tense following the release of recorded conversations implicating officials in clientelist practices.

Plevris’s return to the cabinet signals a shift toward a more right-leaning political stance by Athens, at a time when the government is facing mounting political pressure and internal instability.

Regarding the controversial Turkey-Libya maritime accord, Mitsotakis underscored the importance of the European Council's reaffirming language—at Athens' request—that deems the agreement 'null, void and illegal'

In a pointed message, Mitsotakis stated: “We must convey to the Libyan authorities that this practice cannot be accepted,” revealing his intention to seek the European Union’s backing on the matter.
