Story summary

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis proposed on February 2, 2026, to review the legal immunity of ministers and job security for state-sector workers to regain voter trust after a 2025 corruption scandal involving fake land ownership for subsidies.
Public anger remains despite the government's lead in polls, particularly over its response to a deadly train crash in 2023.
Mitsotakis called for constitutional revisions to address issues like artificial intelligence and climate change, which require approval from two successive parliaments and a majority of 180 deputies.
A trial related to the train crash is scheduled to begin next month.
