Antoni Samaras Facing Disciplinary Committee Meeting in New Democracy
The ethics committee of Greece’s New Democracy party is set to meet on Tuesday to discuss the expulsion of former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras from the parliamentary group. Party members acknowledge the situation is challenging but believe it was necessary due to Samaras’s recent criticisms. Close associates, including government officials, have expressed that this move, although difficult, could unify the party’s base. Deputy Health Minister Dimitris Varvitsiotis stated that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis had no alternative but to proceed with the expulsion.
