Arson Attack Targets Greek Politician's Family | Global News

A shocking arson attack in Thessaloniki left 72-year-old Vagia Nestora dead after severe burns and organ failure — she was the mother of Afroditi Nestora, a New Democracy party candidate. The explosion at their apartment building was part of a series of three coordinated attacks targeting homes of party officials, including a local chairman and a former MP. No other injuries were reported, but property damage was extensive. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis condemned the violence as unacceptable and vowed justice, calling perpetrators criminals exploiting social tensions. The Counter-Terrorism Service is investigating whether the attacks were coordinated, reviewing surveillance footage — but no arrests or claims of responsibility have been made yet. The nation watches as authorities race to uncover motives and hold those behind the attacks accountable.
