The government’s consideration to amend Tsipras’ 2016 law, which prohibited first-degree relatives (spouses, children, parents, in-laws) from owning domestic companies, has been ongoing for at least a year and a half. This was revealed on Live News with Nikos Evangelatos on Mega TV on March 14, 2024. The original law had a retaliatory character aimed at Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ spouse, Mareva Grabowski, who owned a Paris apartment through a French company. Discussions reignited due to Casselaki. The prime minister questioned why politicians should burden their children with personal choices. Adonis Georgiadis argued that as a maritime nation, Greece cannot maintain such laws without risking European court losses. Yesterday, Justice Minister Giorgos Floridis proposed an amendment removing the prohibition for relatives. This sparked political backlash, with opposition parties fearing offshore opportunities while the government accused them of spreading fake news. SYRIZA and New Left leaders Socrates Famellos and Alexis Haritsis met Thursday to discuss legal action against former Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis, his deputies, and Prime Minister Mitsotakis. With a combined 37 MPs, plus potential independent support, they exceed the required 30 signatures. Despite PASOK’s decision to act independently, SYRIZA and New Left aim for a broader coalition. Meanwhile, PASOK plans separate proceedings, emphasizing institutional integrity after ND’s pragmatic approach. Former Health Minister Leandros Augenakis criticized recent policies affecting small settlements, sparking debate over property rights and rural development. In unrelated news, insights into Andreas Papandreou’s hospital routine revealed his love for jazz music.
