The finance ministers of Belgium and Greece have thrown their hats in the ring to lead the Eurogroup panel of their eurozone peers, following the surprise exit of Ireland’s Paschal Donohoe, the body said Friday. Ministers from the 20-country single currency area will elect the group’s head — choosing between Belgium’s Vincent Van Peteghem and Greece’s Kyriakos Pierrakakis — when they next meet in Brussels on December 11, a Eurogroup statement said. The 51-year-old Donohoe announced on November 20 that he was stepping down from both his government and Eurogroup roles to join the World Bank as managing director. The move came as a surprise as Donohoe had only been re-elected in July for a two-and-a-half-year term at the helm of the informal Eurogroup, a post he had held since 2020. The Eurog...

Tsipras’ return could galvanize the fragmented center-left opposition, but it could also galvanize the “anti-SYRIZA” front. Credit: Orestis Panagiotou/AMNA The specter of a political comeback by former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is increasingly looming over Greece’s political landscape. While such a return would undoubtedly galvanize a fragmented opposition, analysts suggest it could also paradoxically shore up Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s conservative New Democracy (ND) party by re-energizing the critical “Anti-SYRIZA Front” among centrist and middle-class voters. Mitsotakis currently enjoys a comfortable parliamentary majority and leads by wide margins in opinion polls. He is largely benefiting from a disoriented and fragmented left following SYRIZA’s decisive defeat in the 20...

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has met, in Athens, with Arthur Mensch, CEO of Mistral AI, one of the largest European startups in artificial intelligence, to explore areas of potential cooperation.  During the meeting, at the prime minister’s office, the two examined the possibility of training large language models within the European AI ecosystem, helping existing and new models to adapt to the Greek language and exchanging know-how, with a focus on training Greek researchers and scientists involved in AI. The importance of developing European technological solutions and Greece’s ability to contribute substantially were emphasized, both due to its highly qualified human resources and new infrastructure, including the Pharos artificial intelligence factory under construction and the D...

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has said that his country can "play a leading role in the global energy market" and "become a dynamic energy-exporting economy in the coming years." Gas production in the Ionian Sea will evidently be a major part of this scenario. In his weekly Facebook post on January 26, he called the interest shown by US energy giant Chevron in exploring the area southwest of the Peloponnese region "an important development." Five years ago, another American energy giant, ExxonMobil, also expressed a similar interest and was granted a license for exploratory drilling. Does Greece have major gas deposits? Preliminary estimates suggest that the gas deposits in the maritime area stretching from southwest of the Peloponnese to south of the island of Crete could ...
