❓ Deaths

A significant new wildfire has broken out in Marathias, Zakynthos, prompting emergency alerts and the deployment of aerial firefighting resources. This new blaze adds to the ongoing challenges faced by the country during the summer season. Meanwhile, authorities are actively investigating two separate cases of mysterious deaths. A police officer was found deceased in Agios Dimitrios, with initial findings from autopsy and toxicology reports awaited. In Serres, a 66-year-old man was found dead at home, days after reportedly alleging sexual assault. In economic news, a discussion on the minimum wage highlights that recent nominal increases are not effectively reaching all employees, with negative forecasts extending into 2027, indicating a struggle to keep pace with inflation and the average salary.
