In a significant political move, Constantine Tassoulas has been elected by the Greek Parliament as the country’s new president, local media reports on Wednesday.
Tassoulas, a veteran politician from the ruling New Democracy party, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. He previously served as the Minister of Culture and Sports in 2014 and has been a prominent figure in Greek politics, having been elected as the Speaker of the Greek Parliament three times with large majorities since 2019.
The election of Tassoulas marks a new chapter for Greece as he takes over from outgoing President Katerina Sakellaropoulou. Sakellaropoulou, a former head of Greece's highest administrative court, will see her term conclude in March.
As Greece navigates its future, Tassoulas’s leadership is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s political and cultural landscape.
