Daughter of former PM Samaras dies at 34
Lena Samaras, the 34-year-old daughter of former Greek prime minister Antonis Samaras, died late Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest.
She passed away at Evangelismos Hospital in Athens. Her mother is Georgia Kretikos Samaras.
Lena Samaras graduated from Athens College in 2008 and later studied civil engineering at City, University of London.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed condolences in a statement, calling the death “a sudden and deeply unjust loss that shocks us all.”
“Every word seems small and powerless in the face of such grief,” Mitsotakis said. “With Mareva, our thoughts are with Antonis and Georgia,” he added, referring to his wife Mareva Grabowski-Mitsotakis. “Their pain is our pain. Courage…”
Nikos Androulakis, leader of the opposition PASOK party, also paid tribute in a social media post, calling the news “shocking.”
“The sudden loss of Antonis and Georgia Samaras’ beloved daughter has deeply saddened us,” he said. “My thoughts are with them. Courage and strength.”
