He admitted that “we did not achieve the goal we set out to achieve”, explaining that there were several reasons “which I take very seriously”.

He also emphasized that national elections will be held in 2027 with the government focusing on reforms.
“I was also clear in my first term, despite the many questions there were. They were disproved, they will be disproved again. And we will be judged as a whole for what we did in our second term. The next years should aim to converge with Europe and we have three years in our term, there will be no early elections. The elections will be held in 2027,” he said.
The message of the citizens was “get to work and achieve the results you committed to”, he emphasized.

Greece is an attractive destination for investments” and pointed out that there are two economic goals. “The first goal is the reduction of unemployment together with the creation of new jobs and the second is the continuous shielding of the citizens’ disposable income.”
