Review of George Lakotris's Job Applications in the Private Sector

January 29, 2026

The case of George Lakotris, former Minister of Energy, is under scrutiny by the parliamentary Institutions Committee due to his requests for private sector work. Following the end of his term, he submitted over 10 applications for special work authorization. Lawmakers are concerned about the transparency and process behind these applications, particularly after the release of a video suggesting possible irregularities. Details of the applications were discussed in a closed session, as they involve sensitive information. This situation raises questions about the transition from public to private sector for former officials.
