Greek Prime Minister departed on Thursday afternoon for the United States, with media reports referring to trip that is of a “strictly personal nature”.
Most media reports cited familiar sources as quoting “family and medical reasons” for Mitsotakis’ 48-hour stay in the United States. The “medical reasons”, according to the same reports, involve a member of Mitsotakis’ family, without further clarification.
Government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis later confirmed the development and the reasons for the trip during a regular press briefing on Thursday and in fielding a reporter’s question. He also called for respect of privacy in such a personal matter. Marinakis added that Mitsotakis will be back in his office on Monday morning.
