Kyriakos Mitsotakis is in a political impasse, as throughout his speech at the TIF press conference he struggled to construct a coherent narrative until the end of the government term. In fact, in addition to the social and political decay that is growing, he also addressed the internal party, saying that those who ask for the steering wheel to turn to the right are a “minority”.
Three-year horizon
Initially, the prime minister said that the government has a “three-year road map and 1,000 days of pure political time”, as he noted that governments are judged on a four-year basis. In this way, I wanted to close the scenarios of early elections.
He repeated the narrative of stability
Also, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that there is no “reform fatigue” in the government, while he noted about the European elections that “I will not agree that a bad result of the European elections, but it was inferior to the circumstances”, adding that nevertheless “we are the dominant political force and there is no alternative”. In fact, he set self-reliance as a goal in the next elections, since as he said the citizens “will judge the government at the end of the four years”.
“I reject the discussions about a right turn” – Those who ask for them are a minority
With regard to the criticism he receives within the party and the opinions for a return to the right-wing roots, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that “I also hear this criticism, but I defend my views and reject the position of a right turn”. In fact, he said that these views are a minority within the blue faction, while he said that it is reasonable to complain after a bad result in the European elections, the point is to govern.
Great embarrassment for the absence of Karamanlis-Samaras
The prime minister was embarrassed when he was asked about the absence of Costas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras from his speech at the 88th TIF, as he said that “New Democracy is both strong and united. They have the unlimited right of expression. We are a democratic party”. In fact, he added that “our executives have the right to express our opinions. But we are also an organized party. To those who are concerned. New Democracy is fine”.
Fantastic picture of accuracy and EMS
Regarding the biggest problem facing citizens, which is punctuality, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that in recent months there has been a de-escalation of prices, while regarding the collapse of the public health system he said that “its good sides are rarely presented”. Someone must tell the prime minister that the bad situation in the National Health Service is not a matter of perspective, but an objective reality.
SYRIZA in aphasia – Apparently progressive and modernizing PASOK
Regarding the progressive opposition parties, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that “I don’t see an alternative. PASOK, which is supposed to be a progressive and modernizing force, did not vote for non-state universities and the judicial charter. No to everything does not suit today’s Greece. As far as SYRIZA is concerned, he said that he is “in a state of aphasia”.
The debate on PtD will take place in January
The prime minister also referred to the election of the new president of the Republic saying that “I am sorry for the recycling of this debate. That debate will take place in January. I respect and appreciate the president of the Republic. I will ask all of you to respect the institution”. Kyriakos Mitsotakis says all this at a time when dozens of MPs, especially the Samaritan wing, are asking for a face from the “broader center-right faction”.
“Failure” the fire in North Attica
Regarding natural disasters and fires, he said that very important steps have been taken, as 4,000 fires have been dealt with, while he described the fire in Northeast Attica as a “failure”. It is recalled that a month ago Vassilis Kikilias was talking about “insurmountable conditions”. Finally, it is interesting that the prime minister said about the university police that it did not work.
