Greek political tensions rise over energy costs and alliances

In Greece, political tensions have escalated following recent statements regarding government policy and economic management. Pavlos Marinakis dismissed suggestions of a potential coalition between SYRIZA and far-right parties, describing such a scenario as impossible. He also criticized former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, stating that his rhetoric regarding foreign policy makes him unsuitable for cooperation with the current government.

Simultaneously, the PASOK party has launched a sharp critique against Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis following his announcement of a 30% reduction in wholesale electricity prices. PASOK questioned why the government failed to implement such measures during its seven years in power, arguing that households and businesses have been left to struggle with high energy costs for too long.
