Press reports revealed that Kyriacos Mitsotakis had met with the Archbishop on November 5, the day before the joint announcements with the prime minister.

According to these reports, the leader of the ND asked the Archbishop not to reach an agreement with the Prime Minister, using as an argument, among others, that Al. Tsipras is an "atheist".

"Such a meeting with this content has never existed", the Archbishop's Press Office noted.

ND however, after the initial denial by the representative of the Church, confirmed the meeting by noting that there was no briefing on the content of the agreement.
