The Greek administration has experienced internal political shifts involving high-level advisors and former leadership. In August 2026, Sotiris Serbos, an Associate Professor and ad hoc foreign policy advisor to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, resigned following friction regarding remarks about U.S. policy toward Iran. By September 2026, tensions between Prime Minister Mitsotakis and former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras escalated into a sharp public confrontation during the 90th International Thessaloniki Fair. Mitsotakis reiterated that there is ‘absolutely no room for cooperation’ with Samaras, describing the former leader’s views on defense and foreign policy as an ‘insurmountable obstacle.’ Samaras responded by characterizing the administration as being defined by ‘inflation, corruption, arrogance, and the impoverishment of the provinces.’ On September 17, 2026, Mitsotakis addressed Samaras, stating that if the former leader forms a new party, he will be ‘questioned again,’ while also expressing respect for Kostas Karamanlis. On September 21, 2026, former MEP Giorgos Kyrtsos alleged a ‘civil war of entanglement’ between Greek political and economic systems, specifically citing interests involving businessman Alexandros Exarchou. In response to rumors of systemic risk, Bank of Greece Governor Ioannis Stournaras dismissed such claims as ‘fake news.’ By late September 2026, Zoi Konstantopoulou, leader of the Plefsi Eleftherias party, intensified criticisms of the political establishment. She attacked Alexis Tsipras’s competence, suggested Nikos Androulakis had become a tool for other figures, and accused the Mitsotakis administration of failing to address the cost-of-living crisis and attempting to cover up details regarding the Tempi train accident. Konstantopoulou proposed legislative measures to combat inflation, such as the abolition of VAT on essential goods. In October 2026, Mitsotakis launched conducted regional visits to Pieria, Thessaloniki, Pieria and Attica other areas to emphasize infrastructure regional convergence and modernization, framing infrastructure development. He framed the 2027 elections as the next major political horizon. Meanwhile, opposition dynamics shifted as Alexis Tsipras sought to lower tensions with PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis, identifying Mitsotakis as his primary opponent. a choice between stability and uncertainty.
