Kyriakos Mitsotakis stays in post despite public outrage after thousands became stranded on motorway

The Greek prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has won a confidence vote called by the main opposition over his government's handling of a snowstorm last week that stranded thousands of people on a motorway and drew public outrage.

The conservative government, which has a comfortable majority in the 300-seat parliament, won with 156 votes, meeting the 151-vote threshold required.
