Greek Minister Spars with KKE Over National Health System
Greek Parliament: Georgiadis Challenges KKE on ESY Claims Athens, Greece – June 2, 2025 – Tensions rose in the Greek parliament today during a heated exchange between Minister Giorgos Georgiadis and members of the KKE (Greek Communist Party). The debate centered on the state of the National Health System (ESY), with Georgiadis directly challenging the KKE's assessment. "If you want to talk about the ESY," Georgiadis stated, "then first release the 'tapes' they give you in Perissos." He implied that the KKE's criticism was based on biased information. A KKE representative responded (though not shown in the video), defending their assessment and accusing Georgiadis of dodging the real issues facing the ESY. The exchange highlights the ongoing political debate surrounding healthcare reform in Greece. The video clip only captures a portion of the discussion, leaving many questions unanswered.
