Athens, March 14, 2025 – Greece has officially inaugurated Constantine Tassoulas as the country’s new president, following a formal swearing-in ceremony. The 66-year-old lawyer and experienced parliamentarian succeeds Katerina Sakellaropoulou, whose five-year term concluded earlier this month.
Tassoulas, a prominent figure in Greek politics, brings a wealth of experience to the presidency, having served in various key roles within the Greek Parliament. His legal background and extensive political career position him as a seasoned leader prepared to navigate the challenges of his new office.
The transition of power marks a significant moment in Greece’s political landscape, as Tassoulas takes on the responsibility of leading the nation during a period of both domestic and international challenges. His appointment follows the conclusion of Sakellaropoulou's presidency, which was marked by her groundbreaking tenure as Greece’s first female president, a role in which she worked to strengthen Greece's democratic institutions and international relations.
As Greece’s new president, Tassoulas is expected to focus on advancing national unity and stability, while continuing to uphold the country's democratic values. His experience as a parliament speaker, where he played a key role in managing legislative affairs, is expected to serve him well in his new position, where he will play a critical role in representing Greece both domestically and abroad.
Tassoulas' swearing-in is a momentous occasion for the country, signaling a new chapter in Greece’s leadership as it moves forward with its political and economic priorities.
