Veteran Greek journalist Stavros Theodorakis has ruled out any political comeback. He announced that politics and the restaurant business, the two pursuits that defined much of his adult life, are chapters now permanently closed. The declaration ends years of speculation that he might return to the ballot after his time away from office. Theodorakis built his name on television before founding the centrist party Potami, which entered parliament in 2015. He later stepped back from day to day politics, and his ventures in hospitality are now off the table too. His statement carried a note of finality rather than regret. For viewers who watched him trade reporting for campaigning and then retreat, the message reads as a clear full stop.
