Greek Deputy Minister Giorgos Mylonakis hospitalized in critical condition

On Wednesday, April 15, 2026, Greek Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister, Giorgos Mylonakis, was rushed to Evangelismos Hospital after suffering a fainting spell during a morning meeting at the Maximos Mansion. Medical personnel diagnosed him with a ruptured brain aneurysm. Following the diagnosis, he was intubated and admitted to the intensive care unit, where he remains in critical condition under observation. Doctors are currently evaluating whether to proceed with surgical or pharmacological intervention. Prior to his hospitalization, Mylonakis had publicly announced his intention to take legal action against journalist Makarios Drousiotis. This legal dispute stems from allegations made by Drousiotis linking Mylonakis to corruption investigations, specifically the so-called 'Santis' case. Mylonakis has denied these allegations, describing them as a smear campaign involving unknown figures.
