The Athens Journalists' Union (ESIEA) held a meeting on Tuesday to establish its new board of directors after recent elections, a crucial moment for the organization representing journalists in Athens. The elections took place over three days, from February 10 to 12, and involved ballots cast by union members. As a result of this electoral process, a new leadership team was formed, which includes various experienced individuals in key positions.

The new board is headed by President Maria Antoniadou, with George Gavala as the First Vice President and Andreas M. Panagopoulos serving as the Second Vice President. The General Secretary position is filled by Stavros Kapakos, while Efthymios (Makis) Diogos takes on the role of Treasurer. Andromahi (Mahi) Nikolaras is appointed as Special Secretary, along with eight other members contributing to the board's composition.

This restructuring of the board signifies a pivotal development in the governance of ESIEA, which is essential for advocating the rights and interests of journalists within Greece. The new members and their diverse backgrounds will likely influence how the union navigates challenges in the media landscape, particularly in light of ongoing discussions surrounding press freedom and journalist protection in the country.
