Thessaloniki honors former mayor Yiannis Boutaris in a political funeral attended by family, friends, and prominent politicians, including President Katerina Sakellaropoulou and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. His body will lie in state at the Thessaloniki City Hall, where he served as the first elected mayor since 2010, with flags at half-mast in tribute. The public can pay their respects from 11:00 to 14:00, followed by eulogies. Instead of floral arrangements, his family requests donations to specific charities in his memory.
