Kyriakos Mitsotakis went to the event on the same day national restrictions were tightened
The Greek prime minister is facing mounting anger over claims he attended a meal for as many as 40 people on the very day health restrictions had been tightened to thwart transmission of the virus.
“[He] ought to say a very big sorry to the Greek people,” said Nasos Iliopoulos, the spokesman for the main opposition party, Syriza, as criticism of the incident grew. “It’s even worse when it has happened on the day that the government has asked citizens to remain indoors from 6pm.”
