Greece's conservative government has nominated Constantine Tasoulas, the current speaker of parliament, as the next president, replacing Katerina Sakellaropoulou. Tasoulas, a member of the New Democracy party and former culture minister, faces criticism from opposition parties for his conservative stance. Greece's political landscape is noted for its right-wing majority, and concerns about democratic decline have been raised. Tasoulas previously advocated for the return of the Parthenon friezes from the British Museum, supported by Amal Clooney.
