A tragic femicide in Igoumenitsa has dominated headlines, with a 27-year-old suspect confessing to the murder of his 25-year-old girlfriend after initially fabricating a robbery story. The incident has deeply shocked the local community.

Meanwhile, the investigation into the death of Mazonakis continues to advance, with the hypnotherapist involved now facing questioning by an investigator, and new evidence like photographs and messages coming to light. Separately, the death of a 15-year-old in Larissa, following a significant delay in ambulance arrival, has sparked public concern.

In the political arena, new poll results indicate shifts in voter preferences, with New Democracy at 30.1% and E.A.S. at 15.2%, and a notable 'shock' for Ilias Kasidiaris.
