Greece’s parliament has elected the conservative government’s nominee, Constantine Tassoulas, as the country’s president, despite protester anger as justice is sought for a deadly 2023 train crash.
Tassoulas, a key ally of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, won the backing of 160 lawmakers in Wednesday’s vote in the 300-seat parliament to succeed Katerina Sakellaropoulou. Greece’s first female president’s five-year term expires in March.
