Greece to swear in first woman president
That's exciting news! According to recent reports, Greece is on the verge of making history by swearing in its first female president. The country's parliament is set to elect Katerina Sakellaropoulou, a 63-year-old judge and former vice president of the Council of State, as the new head of state.
Sakellaropoulou's nomination was announced by the governing coalition, which is comprised of the New Democracy party and the Movement for Change party. She is widely respected for her expertise in constitutional law and her commitment to upholding the rule of law.
If confirmed, Sakellaropoulou would become the first woman to hold the office of President of Greece, a position that is largely ceremonial but also plays a symbolic role in representing the country and its people.
The election is expected to take place on January 22, and Sakellaropoulou is widely expected to win the vote. This would be a significant milestone for Greece, which has been working to promote gender equality and increase representation of women in politics.
What do you think about this development? Are you excited to see a woman take on this important role in Greek politics?
