Mr. Mitsotakis’ speech in detail:

We left Athens in sleet and arrived in Vonitsa in sunshine. Of course, Vonitsa is Gourlid, because the last time I came there were double elections and you elected us an independent government againso we expect a similar result in the European elections now.

As you know I am here today for a very important reason: because on Friday, Saturday at the latest, we will finally open the Amfilochia-Aktio highway to traffic, a vital project for the region.

I know very well how much you have been concerned about the question of this road and I want to remind you that four years ago our own government unblocked a project which was stuck in the cogs of bureaucracy. And today we can deliver a modern road, a safe road, a road that will unlock, my dear Mayor, new development prospects for the entire region of western Etoloakarnania.

And because I talk to many investors and see the interest in the wider region, what we were always told: “ensure we have safe and secure access”. We have an airport, we have a road and the future for this very beautiful corner of Greece is extremely optimistic.

Despite the difficulties, and there are difficulties, let’s not kid ourselveswe know exactly how much Greek households suffer, I met some farmer friends a while ago who also express their justified anxiety about the increase in production costs, what I want to tell you again here from Vonitsa is that exactly because our economy is doing better and because the country is now on a path of sustainable developmentwe have the ability to raise “banks” against these temporary difficulties.

And we will help our farmers and our fellow citizens who are tested by accuracy we will continue to support them. And wages in our country will continue to rise, thus supporting disposable income.

You elected us a self-sufficient government again six months ago and I made an obligation to you: this work, the deep reform work of the government to continue and accelerate it. That’s exactly what we do.

And of course the footprint of development and advancement must be able to reach every corner of Greece. There are no second-class citizens for us. There are no forgotten Greeks. And a region of the country, Western Greece, which you may rightly feel has been forgotten, is now coming strongly to the fore, and I think for that we have every reason, one and all, to be very happy.

We will cooperate, my dear Mayor, with the Local Government, as we have done for so many years now. We want strong Municipalities, so they can solve your own local problems.

We will also cooperate with your Regional Governors. Here, you know, three Regions meet: meets Western Greece, Epirus – I see both the Prefect of Epirus, and the Prefect of your region and the Prefect of the Ionian Islands. You are a peculiar “third international” here.

And this is what makes me believe that indeed the development that Western Greece will see will be greater than the rest of our countryprecisely because you had fallen behind and now it’s time to make up for lost ground.

Again, friends, I want to say a big “thank you” from the bottom of my heart. Say a big “thank you” to all those who trusted us in the double elections last summer.

And let me repeat that for you and for me personally this relationship of trust that we have built is one that I honor and will serve as long as I am in this office.

So thank you again so much for your love. I wish everyone a good year. And of course the new road should be well-traveled and convenient for the wider area. Thank you very much, be well.
