In a recent interview, former Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras endorsed Kostas Karamanlis as the ideal candidate for the Presidency and called for the resignation of George Gerapetritis over his controversial comments regarding national dialogue with Turkey. Samaras criticized the government’s approach towards escalating tensions with Turkey, questioning its strategy and suggesting that those advocating for concessions should leave their posts. The Karamanlis camp responded that there was no prior agreement with Samaras on his candidacy.
