The funeral of Lena Samaras, daughter of former Greek prime minister Antonis Samaras and his wife Georgia Kretikos Samaras, was held on Monday at Athens’ First Cemetery.

A large crowd of relatives, friends, and members of the public gathered to pay their respects. The event was also attended by prominent political figures including President Konstantinos Tasoulas, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, socialist opposition leader Nikos Androulakis, former prime minister Kostas Karamanlis, Defense Minister Nikos Dendias, Athens Mayor Haris Doukas, and numerous deputies and former ministers from across the political spectrum.

“What can a father say when he loses his child? What can a mother say when she will never again embrace her own flesh and blood? What can a brother say when he loses his other half, when the soul loses its most faithful companion?” Antonis Samaras said in his eulogy, adding: “I thank God for giving us this gift, even if only for 34 years.”

Lena Samaras died on Thursday at the age of 34 after suffering a cardiac arrest at Athens’ Evangelismos Hospital. The underlying cause of the cardiac arrest has not yet been confirmed by authorities.
