A significant new government policy is set to abolish property tax (ENFIA) in 131 areas starting in 2027, providing financial relief to homeowners in those regions. This announcement comes as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, leader of the New Democracy party, generated political controversy at the Thessaloniki International Fair by directly challenging former Prime Ministers Antonis Samaras and Alexis Tsipras.
Meanwhile, the long-standing issue of substitute teachers, many of whom have been working in permanent positions for years, has re-emerged as a prominent topic in national discussions. On the economic front, Greece's automotive market is entering a new era with the reported introduction of the first electric Jaguar.
The battle against wildfires continues in Konitsa, with firefighters now on the ninth day of tackling the blazes.
