George Bratakos

George Bratakos is a notable Greek politician who served as the Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister. He has been involved in various governmental initiatives and played a significant role in overseeing administrative matters related to agricultural policies, particularly during controversies surrounding the payments of subsidies by the Organization for Payment and Control of Community Aid (ΟΠΕΚΕΠΕ). His communications with former ΟΠΕΚΕΠΕ president Evangelos Simandrakos have come under scrutiny, especially regarding the exclusion of over 9,300 tax identification numbers from subsidy payments in 2023, raising questions about government oversight and accountability.
