The EU vaccine certificate, Greek tourism, the pandemic, and more with Kathimerini's Tom Ellis
During an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that Greece would be prepared for tourism this summer amid the COVID-19 pandemic. His statement coincided with an announcement from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who officially unveiled the EU’s plan for a vaccine certificate. Meanwhile, Greece issued its first 30-year government bond sale since before the financial crisis on Wednesday, prompting Prime Minister Mitsotakis to say this is proof “Greece is back.”
Tom Ellis, the editor-in-chief of Kathimerini English edition, joins us today to talk about Prime Minister Mitsotakis’ interview with CNN, the EU vaccine certificate, Greek tourism, Greek-Turkish relations, and more.
