The prime minister is now investing in “off-site”, shortly before the “final” of May 21, continuing the campaign of tours throughout Greece and insisting on putting more and more emphasis on the dilemmas of the ballot box and the criticality of the upcoming elections, asking for a second government term.

Against the plan and his goals to continue “steadily forward” Kyriakos Mitsotakis raises the counter proposal of SYRIZA “they dream of power again, threatening us that the second time it will be different” the Prime Minister said yesterday from Volos and noted “they say some that these elections are crucial. Wrong, they are the most crucial elections in recent years. Because they find us at a crossroads of choice, not between two parties that will govern for four years, but between two worlds that will determine the national course for a decade. Either continuing on the path of security and progress or risking new adventures”, said Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

As the distance from the ballot box narrows, the Prime Minister will increasingly raise the risks of the following day, contrasting the stability of an independent government which is the non-negotiable goal of the ND and on the other hand all possible scenarios of the formation of a government that can either arise with the “collusion” of the losers of the ballot box, or with the tolerance of some parties towards a cooperation government.

“Some are preparing to christen themselves winners, losers, in order to create a government of tolerance, complicity, as they call it. You will have seen it yesterday in the telefight. They were calling for a debate for so long and the debate took place, to see what? That only the ND he has a composed proposal for the next day” commented the prime minister from the capital of Magnesia. He even spoke of “the dangerous Babel” of the opposition which – as he said – speaks in incomprehensible languages, distinguishing “the cliff they are leading us to”.

The prime minister also resoundingly proposed three key words for the next day of Greece: “confidence, consistency, continuity” wanting to emphasize the country’s need for a clear horizon on its path and not for experiments, adventures and shipwrecks, which he attributed to the opposition .

The stations from one end to the other in Greece

These dilemmas will be posed from one end to the other in Greece and in the few days left until the ballot box is set up, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis touring two “blue regions” today, in Lesvos, where in 2019 the ND had managed to it leads by about 10 points of SYRIZA, but also in Rhodes where its lead exceeded 13 points.

The prime minister’s next critical stops are expected to be next week in Heraklion, Crete, on May 15, i.e. the last Monday before the elections. A difficult district, as SYRIZA had a lead in 2019 with 13 points and is a bet for the blue faction.

Among the “last pieces” in the tour puzzle is Thessaloniki, where the prime minister will be on May 17 for his main pre-election speech in the city, while the information wants Kyriakos Mitsotakis to do a test ride with the Thessaloniki metro. from the Depot to the New Railway Station, thus confirming that this great project, which has gone through a thousand waves, is now on the final stretch for its completion, in line with the promise made to the people of Thessaloniki in 2019 that Thessaloniki will has its Metro and as Mr. Mitsotakis himself has repeatedly stated, the Metro will be operational in early 2024.
