In a recent parliamentary discussion on Greece’s 2025 budget, government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis criticized opposition leaders, including Alexis Charitsis and Zoe Konstantopoulou, for what he called political hypocrisy and misrepresentation. He defended the government’s achievements in fire services and economic management. Charitsis accused Marinakis of downplaying past criticisms by U.S. diplomats, while Konstantopoulou condemned the government’s treatment of seasonal firefighters and the tragedy in Tempi. The exchange reflects ongoing tensions between the ruling and opposition parties in Greek politics.
