Rising Political Tensions in Greece: New Party Gains Momentum Amidst Scandals

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is reportedly rewriting names for a reshuffle aimed at restarting his government. Speculation surrounds potential replacements, including Notti Mitarakis and Thodoros Skylakakis for the Infrastructure Ministry. Meanwhile, concerns are growing about possible disturbances during the swearing-in ceremony of the new President of the Republic, Kostas Tasoulas. The political landscape is further complicated by the rise of the ‘Life’ party led by Zoē Konstantopoulou, which is gaining ground on the heels of the Tempi scandal. Some suggest Maria Karystianou, a prominent figure in the scandal, could emerge as a political force. Additionally, former ministers like Yiannis Panousis and Stefano Kasselakis are aligning views, potentially signaling a shift within the left-wing spectrum.
