To mark the five-year anniversary of the murder of Greek crime reporter Giorgos Karaivaz, the International Press Institute (IPI) today renews our call to Greek law enforcement authorities to provide answers for his family and ensure those responsible finally face justice for this crime. IPI also warns that the 2021 assassination of Karaivaz is now the only case involving the killing of a journalist in the European Union in the last decade to remain in a state of total impunity with no convictions or justice secured, according to our monitoring. While other cases of journalist killings in the EU during this period, such as Daphne Caruana Galizia in Malta, Jan Kuciak in Slovakia, and Peter R. de Vries in the Netherlands, have all seen some of those responsible convicted, even if the alleged...

Greece has introduced a new law designed to tackle art forgery and prevent damage to works of art and collectibles.Like many countries, Greece previously relied on its broader anti-forgery laws to tackle art-specific issues. However the new bill (No. 5271/2026), introduced in January, targets the issue directly, aiming to combat the “manufacture and circulation” of fakes.The law proposes the set-up of an independent Department of Works of Art within the culture ministry and the creation of a registry of expert art appraisers. Measures to prevent damage to art are also built in, as well as specific provisions included to protect “cinemas of historical importance”.The new legislation offers a clearer outline of sentences for crimes against cultural property, including imprisonment of at leas...

In a video posted on TikTok, Mitsotakis said he decided to speak directly to young users because the issue has become increasingly serious. The prime minister said conversations with parents and teenagers revealed common concerns about the impact of social media on daily life. “In recent years I have spoken with many parents and they all tell me roughly the same thing. Their child does not sleep well, gets stressed easily and is constantly on their phone. But I also speak with many of you. Many children tell me they get tired from comparisons, from comments, from the pressure to always be there,” he said. The regulation will be introduced during the summer of 2026 and will take effect on Jan. 1, 2027, if it is approved by the parliament in the coming months. The prime minister acknowl...
