Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will meet European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday to seek EU support after last week’s floods that left at least 15 dead and destroyed farmland and villages.
“I’m sure Europe will financially support our country,” Mitsotakis said Sunday evening from Larisa, one of the cities affected by the storm Daniel in central Greece. Europe spends a lot for the region’s green transition but not much to address the imminent impact of climate change, he said.
