Greek Politician Kouretas Accused of Misrepresenting Road Projects

Two Greek opinion pieces criticize regional leader Kostas Kouretas for portraying road works, notably the Mesorráchi–Eleftheres route, as anti‑development initiatives while claiming personal credit for projects that were planned, funded, and awarded by the previous regional administration (2011‑2023). The articles note that Kouretas received an extension on the project’s deadline and signed a supplemental contract with a higher budget, yet has not launched any new infrastructure projects under his own tenure.

The commentary also references the country’s 2015‑2016 capital‑controls period under former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, contrasting past liquidity shortages with the current situation and urging transparency about political affiliations and public‑communication roles.
