The government is ready to take a step towards “normality” and return to the pre-election rhythms interrupted by the accident in Tempe, planning the next moves of its officials inside and outside the walls.

With the election timer counting down, o Kyriakos Mitsotakis is back on the touring track, starting with his visit today in Lamiawhere he is expected to come into contact with the citizens of Fthiotida, while the program includes inspections of projects that have been carried out, presentations of projects that are underway and commitments for the next day as a whole for Central Greece.

Hence the information states that before being in Lamia, Mitsotakis will probably make stops at specific points in the wider region, in order to send messages about projects of the Public Investment Program, the NSRF, the Recovery Fund, etc. while the tour will end with his speech at a party gathering.

The prime minister’s next stop, probably next week and certainly before Easter, will be Ioannina where he is expected to visit the major development projects that have started or are expected to be launched in Epirus. In the meantime, the prime minister’s pre-election program also includes excursions within Attica, such as the recent visit to Marousi during which he reopened contact with local communities and citizens.

At the same time, the Prime Minister’s visit to Thessaloniki, which was scheduled for March 1st and was canceled after the Tempe tragedy, is also pending, where he was going to announce his candidacy for the 1st Thessaloniki election, which must be taken for granted.

On the way to the polls, Kyriakos Mitsotakis will attempt to “bridge” the heavy climate that undeniably still prevails after Tempi, with the government’s positive narrative for the country and the economy.

After all, this paper is estimated to be the most powerful at the moment, the paper of the economy, which will once again throw Megaros Maximos on the pre-election debate table. In this context, government officials and the prime minister himself are expected at every opportunity to bring to the fore not only the deeds of the blue government but also the big “bets” for the future.

If such a “bet” is clearly for the current government the recovery of the investment grade, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis setting the tone on this from Brussels, from where he once again expressed the belief that the country will obtain a grade in 2023, linking this goal to stable governance which is directly linked by government officials to achieving self-reliance in elections, in order to continue the prudent economic policy of the present government, which is already bearing “fruits”.

“I am sure” said the Prime Minister stating that “we can achieve the investment grade within 2023 if the Greek people trust us after the elections and a stable government emerges”.

In the political field, the proposal of Nikos Androulakis for the prime minister “unknown X” intensifies the confrontation with Megaros Maximos insisting that the president of PASOK clarify his position in time and not after the election and to formulate “what he wants” and not “what He does not want”.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis himself, after all, is said to have asked the ministers and candidate MPs to focus on highlighting the government’s achievements in critical areas, as well as on the need to ensure self-reliant, decisive and strong governments with a solid parliamentary majority.

With this tactic, he essentially throws down the gauntlet to the leaders of the other parties, and especially to those who defend simple proportionality, to clarify in time with whom they want to govern.
