President of Greece since 2020
Katerina Sakellaropoulou (Greek : Κατερίνα Σακελλαροπούλου , Katerína Sakellaropoúlou [kateˈrina sakelaroˈpulu] ; born 30 May 1956) is a Greek judge who has been the president of Greece since 13 March 2020.[2] She was elected by the Hellenic Parliament to succeed Prokopis Pavlopoulos on 22 January 2020. Prior to her election as president, Sakellaropoulou served as president of the Council of State , the highest administrative court of Greece. She is the country's first female president.[3]
Early life
Sakellaropoulou was born in Thessaloniki . Her parents are Nikolaos Sakellaropoulos, a former vice president of the Greek Supreme Court , and Aliki Paraskeva.[4] Her family comes from Stavroupoli , a town in Xanthi prefecture . She studied law at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and completed her postgraduate studies in public law at Paris II University . In the mid-1980s, she was admitted to the Council of State and she was promoted to councilor in 2000.[5]
In October 2015 she was appointed vice-president of the Council of State, and in October 2018 she became the first female president of the court, following a unanimous vote.[6] Her election came after the Syriza government, which was in power at the time, considered her progressive record on issues such as the environment and human rights.[7]
She has been a member of the Association of Judiciary Functionaries of the Council of State. During her tenure at the association, she has served as its secretary-general (1985–1986), vice-president (2006–2008), and president (1993–1995, 2000–2001).[5]
She publishes regularly in academic journals. She has also contributed to the book Financial crisis and environmental protection in the case law of the Council of State (Greek: Οικονομική κρίση και προστασία του περιβάλλοντος στη νομολογία του Συμβουλίου της Επικρατείας ), Papazisis Publications, 2017.[8]
President of Greece
On 15 January 2020, the Greek prime minister , Kyriakos Mitsotakis , nominated her for the post of president of the Hellenic Republic.[9] [10] Though she was chosen as a non-partisan candidate, she was an unexpected choice as her progressive politics conflicted with Mitsotakis' centre-right politics.[7] [11] She was elected to the post on 22 January 2020 with 261 MPs voting in favour in the 300-seat Parliament .[3]
Sakellaropoulou took office before the Hellenic Parliament on 13 March of that year in a session with few legislators present, as the country was beginning to be severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the first restrictive measures had been ordered.[12] Upon being sworn in, she became the first woman to serve as Greece's president.[11]
When parliament was unable to form a government in 2023, Sakellaropoulou appointed Ioannis Sarmas as the head of a caretaker government .[13]
Her presidency garnered praise for her historic role as the first female president,[14] yet it also faced heavy criticism for several issues, notably her perceived inaction concerning the violations of rule of law .[15] [16] [17] Moreover, her tenure was marked by historically low levels of popularity in presidential history.[18] [19] [20]
Political beliefs
Sakellaropoulou is a progressive. She has prioritised issues of environmentalism and minority rights .[7] She has described the Russian invasion of Ukraine as "a direct and dramatic conflict of values, between freedom and authoritarianism".[21]
Personal life
Sakellaropoulou lives with her partner, Pavlos Kotsonis, a lawyer.[22] She has one child from a previous marriage.[7]
She is an Aris Thessaloniki supporter.[23]
