“It is with sadness that I bid farewell to George Souflias. A historic member of our party and a sincere servant of the public interest who for decades embodied the essence of a serious politician. Always preferring tangible results to easy promises, “says Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in a post on social networks on the loss of George Souflias.
“As a proud son of Thessaly, he left his own imprint on the modern history of the entire country. As a Minister in critical portfolios, he worked for the development of the national economy. He gave impetus to major public works and critical infrastructure. While he promoted bold changes in the field of education.
“His consistent action, as well as his discreet retirement from the public stage, demonstrate the ethos and modesty that distinguished him. A valuable lesson from older parliamentarians to younger ones. I extend my most sincere condolences to his family and many friends.”
