Nikos Tsafos Calls for an End to ‘Cannibalistic’ Tactics Amid Political Controversy

In a recent post, Deputy Minister of Energy Nikos Tsafos addressed ongoing criticism from the opposition regarding his previous statements about Cyprus. Despite his earlier acknowledgment of a serious mistake in his past tweets, the opposition has continued to attack him by selectively referencing older posts. Tsafos emphasized that as both a citizen and a government official, he upholds Greece’s national positions, particularly its steadfast stance against Turkey regarding maritime boundary disputes. He concluded by asserting that Greece does not negotiate with Turkey on any claims and requested to be judged based on his work rather than past social media activity. This controversy follows calls from PASOK representative Kostas Tsoukalas for Tsafos’s dismissal due to perceived contradictions with Greece’s national policies.
