October 14, 2025
The Greek government is concerned about the statements made by Finance Minister Makis Karanikolas, who blamed Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou for spreading false news regarding the feasibility studies for the electrical interconnection between Cyprus and Greece. The situation is viewed as complicated, and the ministers had agreed to limit their public declarations to move forward united. A conference call with the European Commissioner has already been arranged to further discuss the issues surrounding the project. Karanikolas denies having kept the studies secret, asserting that all relevant parties are informed about them. The Greek side remains committed to the recent agreements made.
