The wife of Prime Minister Mareva Grabovksy-Mitsotakis is legally pursuing Member of Parliament for SYRIZA, Elena Akrita, following a post by Ms. Akrita on social media, which is deemed defamatory.

Specifically, as announced by the Prime Minister’s Press Office, “Following yesterday’s defamatory post by SYRIZA’s Member of Parliament Elena Akrita, the content of which she repeated today, Mrs. Mareva Grabovksy-Mitsotakis will take the necessary legal actions under civil and criminal law in the immediate future, aiming to restore truth and her personal reputation. We consider it self-evident that the entire parliamentary group of SYRIZA will accept the lifting of Ms. Akrita’s immunity in order for her to be accountable to justice for her false and defamatory allegations.”

The post by the SYRIZA MP that triggered the reaction of Mrs. Grabovksy-Mitsotakis is a comment on another post by journalist Thanos Dimadis, who claimed, “Mareva Mitsotakis’ mistake in Greece is that she wasn’t born Tyler”, referring to Stefanos Kasselakis’ spouse.
