Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced the lifting of capital controls during his speech in parliament on Monday.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis referred to a change in Athens' policy concerning the granting of asylum status, an issue that directly involves the thousands of third country nationals that entered Greece from Turkey over recent years, with the center-right leader citing a simplification of procedures in order to repatriate individuals, back to Turkey, that illegally entered Greece from that country.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Friday paid a visit to the site on Marathonos Avenue used to store the burnt trees logged after last year's destructive fire in the seaside town of Mati, Attica.
