New Democracy officials criticize Antonis Samaras's press director

Members of the ruling New Democracy party have launched a series of criticisms against Nikos Tsoutsias, the press office director for former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, following his recent remarks regarding the party.

Tsoutsias drew backlash after comparing the current state of New Democracy to the ‘old PASOK’ and ‘a little bit of the old LAOS’. In response, Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis criticized Tsoutsias’s ability to represent the party, stating that while he is ‘good for collecting press releases,’ he lacks the talent to serve as a spokesperson and that his comments were insulting to the party and Samaras.
