Greece: PM Targets Ministers’ Immunity, “Jobs for Life”

Source: US News & World Report

“Greece’s prime minister proposed ‌on ​Monday reviewing ministers’ legal immunity ‌and guaranteed ‘jobs for life’ for state-sector workers in a ​bid to restore voters’ trust after a graft scandal and to build support ahead ‍of a 2027 national election. Kyriakos ​Mitsotakis'[s] centre-right government remains ahead in opinion polls but it has been ​shaken by ⁠a corruption scandal in which some farmers, aided by state employees, faked land ownership to get subsidies. The affair was revealed by EU prosecutors in 2025 and parliament is looking into the case.” (02/02/26)
