The deletion of Antonis Samaras by Kyriakos Mitsotakis, but also the next day the Minister of State was asked to comment, Makis VoridisMonday morning on .

Speaking to “Simera”, he underlined that for the government the most important thing remains the exercise of government policy, the implementation of the government program to deal with the issues that concern Greek society. “Here, political stability is essentially based on the support given by the Parliament and the ND Parliamentary Group, to be clear, to the government. I therefore consider that this support has been undisturbed all these years and is not in danger”, said Mr. Voridis, underlining:

“The right question is: is there a party that can claim to be more to the right of ND? What we answer to this is that we are talking about specific policies. Right or center is a debate which, if not linked to specific policies, is a bit confusing and disorienting. For example, we say that we continue the fence on the Evros. Is this a right-wing or centrist policy? The great advantage of Kyriakos Mitsotakis in a number of issues, such as restrictions on illegal immigration, tightening of the criminal code, orders for equipment, etc., is that he can satisfy both centrist and right-wing voters at the same time”.

“Synthetic characteristics are required for PtD, but this does not mean that he cannot be a person of the Center-Right”

To the question of whether Mr. Samaras can proceed with the creation of a new party, the minister noted that he does not know the intentions of the former prime minister, while at the same time he did not fail to comment on the proposal he put on the table that the next President of the Republic Kostas Karamanlis.

“In order to discuss good or bad ideas in this matter, the discussion must first be opened. The debate cannot be opened when we have an acting President of the Republic and start now to discuss 6 months, from now until March, who will be the next President of the Republic. Ultimately, this is all a debate that will open near the end of the current President’s term. Regarding its characteristics, however, the only thing we always want and the Constitution mandates is that they be synthetic. This does not mean that such characteristics cannot be present in a person who comes from the Center Right.”
