What happened
The Deutsche Welle Broadcasting Council decided to continue its Greek language service in Greece, reversing a previous announcement that it would be abolished in January 2027. The Greek editorial team will be integrated into the new ‘Connect Europe’ department. The future annual budget allocated to the Greek editorial team is planned at around 400,000 euros, compared to 700,000 euros in 2026.
