The Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister and Government Spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis, commenting on Greece's improved status in the annual EU Rule of Law Report, stated on social media that “this is yet another positive confirmation of the systematic efforts of Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ government to strengthen Greece’s institutional framework.”
Marinakis noted that the recognition of progress in the media sector confirms “our commitment to an environment of pluralism, transparency, and press freedom. This result did not come about by chance but through targeted reforms, consultation with the relevant bodies, and practical respect for European principles.”
He also underlined that “freedom of expression and pluralism are not merely institutional obligations but pillars of our democracy."
