Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ post
With sadness I bid farewell to Giorgos Souflias. A historic member of our political party and a sincere servant of the public interest who for decades embodied the essence of a serious politician. Always prioritizing tangible results over easy promises.
As a proud son of Thessaly, he left his own mark on the modern history of the entire country. As Minister in critical portfolios, he worked for the development of the national economy. He breathed life into major public works and critical infrastructure projects. While promoting bold changes in the field of Education.
His consistent action, as well as his discreet departure from the public scene, demonstrate the character and modesty that distinguished him. A valuable lesson from older parliamentarians to the younger ones. I express my most sincere condolences to his family and his many friends.
