In a statement to Parapolitika.gr, Oikonomou clarified that Lykourezos experienced a minor bout of discomfort. As a precautionary measure, they decided to visit the hospital for some tests. She further reassured the public, stating, “He did not suffer any stroke; he is communicating clearly and is fully conscious. It is astonishing how such rumours could spread even before we reached the hospital.”

Lykourezos was admitted to the hospital’s Emergency Department at around 7:20 p.m. for evaluation. Medical assessments conducted thereafter indicated no immediate health concerns. Latest updates affirm that his condition remains stable and unalarming.
