Antonis Samaras: The government must respond now about Chevron and Kaso

Former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras calls on the Greek government to provide immediate answers regarding the Chevron contract and Turkish interference in energy explorations near Kasos.

Former Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has expressed concerns about national issues and is demanding that the current government respond immediately to two critical matters: the contract with Chevron for exploration and extraction activities south of Crete, and allegations of Turkish interference in energy explorations near Kasos. Samaras emphasizes that as a former prime minister, he feels compelled not to remain silent on matters affecting the country.

Samaras highlights a particular concern regarding the Chevron contract, which has recently been approved by the Court of Audit. He points out that last-minute additions to the contract include terms that ostensibly suggest the potential concession of Greece's sovereign rights. This development has escalated fears about national sovereignty at a time when regional tensions are already high, especially with Turkey's ongoing assertiveness in disputed areas of the Eastern Mediterranean.

He has been vocal about his worries over national sovereignty and energy security for some time, indicating that recent developments validate his concerns. The call for clarity from the government indicates a critical moment for Greek energy policy and national security, and the response from the government could have significant implications for Greece's stance in the geopolitical landscape of the Eastern Mediterranean.
