Konstantinos Floros, independent lawmaker - formerly with far-right Spartiates (Spartans) party - was detained on Wednesday following a physical attack against another lawmaker in Parliament, during a debate over a defamation lawsuit. 

A former lawmaker with far-right Spartiates party punched another MP in the face on Wednesday during a tense argument in Parliament over a defamation lawsuit. 

The cost of the damage caused by last year's storms Daniel and Elias will exceed €3 billion, almost half of which is needed to repair road and rail infrastructure and to fix schools, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has said.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will be present at the inauguration event of the Lamia-Kalambaka section of the Central Greek Highway (E65) on Tuesday at 10 a.m.

Following that, the prime minister, as reported by government sources, will also attend and speak at the presentation on the restoration of damages caused by storms Daniel and Elias in Mouzaki, Karditsa.

As a strategic partner of Israel, and also a country with traditional ties with the Muslim world, Greece, a NATO and European Union member in close proximity to the Middle East, is monitoring the latest developments in the region and is ready to play any role that may be deemed necessary.

Greece is pushing ahead with 21 initiatives worth 780 million euros to protect marine biodiversity and tackle coastal pollution, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Monday ahead of an international conference.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is undeniably correct about one crucial aspect in his recent statements: Greece cannot afford to indulge in political experimentation. It cannot risk a casual approach to voting, a tendency often witnessed in European Parliament elections.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Thursday rejected calls for Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis to take responsibility for the murder of 28-year-old Kyriaki Griva by her abusive ex-partner outside an Athens police station just moments after she had sought help from the authorities.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his government find themselves in an enviable but precarious position - both dominant and fragile at the same time. They have no rival at the party level but face the critical mass of the country's problems, which were highlighted in the most tragic fashion by the train collision at Tempe and all that has followed.

Government officials are surprised and angered by the opposition's call for a fresh vote mere months after their election triumph. The conservatives' arrogance, fueled by their 41 percent victory, blinds them to the significant events of the past 10 months that have reshaped the political landscape based on which voters entrusted Kyriakos Mitsotakis with governing the country.
