Samaras Launches Fierce Attack on Mitsotakis over Venezuela: “International Law Doesn’t Apply A La Carte – Remember Cyprus”

Antonis Samaras launched a fierce attack on Kyriakos Mitsotakis over his stance on the US intervention in Venezuela, accusing him of selectively applying international law. Samaras criticized the Prime Minister's avoidance of commenting on the legality of the US invasion and reminded him of the need for consistency in defending sovereignty, referring to Cyprus and Greek maritime claims. Samaras' intervention challenges the government's line, which adopts US rhetoric and characterizes the Venezuelan government as a dictatorship, without mentioning the violation of international law.
