Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Athens Mayor George Kaminis stressed their determination to continue a crackdown on fake late birth registrations with "unabated intensity" and the effort to ensure the detection and "exemplary punishment" of all involved.

Mitsotakis warned in a joint announcement with the mayor that "the era of inertia and impunity belongs to the past." He added that inspections to ensure the legality of administrative action are being "extended in all directions and it is very encouraging that in this effort we are finding allies in local administration as well."

Kaminis stressed that the legal gaps governing the regime for late birth registrations must be covered and that the Athens municipality will continue to modernise the way that the registry functions, as well as all its services, in order to provide a better service to citizens and improve transparency.
