Greece: Prime Minister Mitsotakis faces political pressure amid scandals
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is navigating a challenging pre-election period amid political scandals and shifting public support. The government is facing scrutiny over several unresolved issues, most notably the Predator spyware wiretapping scandal.
Recent rulings by the Supreme Court of Greece have impacted the investigation into these interceptions, having rejected requests for further inquiry and effectively limiting the ability of Intellexa founder Tal Dilian to testify in certain contexts. While the government seeks to highlight success stories, such as energy interconnection projects, it remains pressured by controversies including the Tempi train crash and ongoing investigations into state security services' involvement with illegal software.
