Breakfast Meeting Between Mitsotakis and Merkel After Her Crisis-Era Comments

Ten years ago, Angela Merkel’s visits to the Maximos Mansion were major news events. Today, she didn’t even enter the official residence of the Greek Prime Minister but instead visited Kyriakos Mitsotakis at his home — a much more casual affair. Now that Merkel is no longer the Chancellor of Germany and Greece has turned a new page, their meeting was simply another Thursday morning event. Despite ongoing political issues — particularly concerning the OPEKEPE scandal — Mitsotakis welcomed Merkel for a relaxed breakfast. Over coffee and croissants, the two discussed current developments in Europe and other global hotspots. Yesterday (Wednesday, July 2, 2025), Merkel reflected on her country’s stance during the crisis years in Greece and spoke about the Greek figures who played key roles during that time.
