Giorgos Kotsiras was transferred by ambulance to the Hippokrateio hospital in Athens at midday on Thursday, 22 October 2026, after feeling unwell at parliament.
NEWS 24/7 reported that Kotsiras was taken to hospital with chest pain, according to its own information, while the other four outlets gave no cause.
Giorgos Kotsiras, a Greek deputy minister of transport, was taken to the Hippokrateio hospital in Athens at midday on Thursday, 22 October 2026, shortly after he felt unwell on arriving at the parliament building. According to the first reports, he walked into the building and went on his own to the parliament's medical room, where the decision was made to transfer him. An ambulance took him to the hospital. The reports available so far contain no update on his condition.
The outlets do not agree on his title. Skai and NewsIT call him alternate minister of transport, Kathimerini calls him deputy minister of infrastructure and transport, and NEWS 24/7 identifies him as an MP who serves as alternate minister of transport. Only NEWS 24/7 reported that he had chest pain, and it attributed this to its own information. The other outlets gave no cause for the illness.
No outlet reported the cause of the episode or the results of any examination at the hospital. The articles also give no information about how long he remained in hospital or whether his duties will be affected. Any further detail on his health will have to come from later reporting.
