Greece’s PM Mitsotakis Announces Potential End to Public Sector Job Security

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced plans to revise Article 103 of the Greek Constitution, which guarantees job security for public sector employees. This move aims to address inefficiencies and serious misconduct within the public workforce. The reform is part of a broader constitutional review set to begin in late 2025. Meanwhile, Greece’s foreign minister, Giorgos Gerapetritis, successfully led an initiative with 80 countries endorsing the protection of civilians in conflict zones. Domestically, discussions are underway for a new disciplinary law that will expedite procedures against underperforming or corrupt officials. These reforms come as Greece seeks to enhance its diplomatic relations with Turkey, with a high-level meeting between Mitsotakis and Turkish President Erdogan scheduled for early July.
