The Mitsotakis – Samaras handshake and the wells at the Karamanli Foundation –

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis exchanged handshakes with Costas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras at the event of the “Konstantinos Karamanlis” foundation in Filothei.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis arrived shortly after 19:30 in the afternoon, in good spirits and exchanged hands with the two former prime ministers, in their first public meeting since last April.

The opening of the works was announced by the former Prime Minister of Italy, Mario Modi.

Also present were Manolis Kefalogiannis, Charalambos Athanasiou, Anna Karamanlis, Euripides Stylianidis, Asimina Skondras, Stavros Papastavrou, Stelios Petsas, Yannis Tragakis, Ioannis Varvitsiotis, Zoi Rapti, Stelios Kymbouropoulos, Adonis Georgiadis, George Vlachos, Nikitas Kaklamanis, Dimitris Vartzopoulos, Christos Staikouras, Giorgos Alogoskoufis, Stavros Kalafatis, Kostis Hatzidakis, Vassilis Kikilias, and Pavlos Marinakis.

It remains to be seen if the ice is broken

It has been known for a long time that Mitsotakis – Samaras relations were cold, while the relationship with Mr. Karamanli remained somewhat more complicated. Recently, Samaras and Karamanlis have opened fire several times against the government’s choices, each in their own way. The two “formers” had not accepted Mitsotakis’ invitation to go to Rigillis for the party birthday, while in recent weeks the situation, especially with Mr. Samara had been pulled out. Although recently the “ice” in their relations was evident, now it remains to be seen if it… has broken and if the waters will “calm” in Piraeus to close the chapter on the internal party problems in the ND.

Absent from the ONNED event Samaras – Karamanlis

In the meantime, the two former prime ministers and former presidents of New Democracy, Kostas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras, will not attend the event for ONNED’s 50th anniversary, which will take place on Saturday at the Athens Conservatory.

According to information, Antonis Samaras, through a letter, informed that he cannot attend due to the change of the date of the event and obligations that he cannot postpone.

Kostas Karamanlis will also not attend, as he will be in Thessaloniki for the presentation of Vangelis Plakas’ book, “Konstantinos Karamanlis and Thessaloniki”.
