A three -month cycle, dominated by the Tempe issue, is concluded today with the expected referral of Christos Triantopoulos from the House of Representatives to the Judicial Council. The government believes that after this and following the latest developments in terms of EPAAAM’s findings, the debate on Tempi will be seconded, leaving a free field to take on other political initiatives. The aim, of course, is to achieve the rebuilding of the polls, which have declined significantly in the last quarter.

The messages from the latest polls are encouraging. It may not be impressive correction, but the stopping of the poll recession is considered an important first step. The strategy of government leadership is clear. To put clear dilemmas, as it considers that it maintains a strong advantage over opponents, when the debate comes in the production of real policy to tackle daily problems, but also in relation to the country’s position and perspective in a rapidly changing international environment.

In this regard, the prime minister took advantage of his presence in the Delphi forum and the conversation with journalist and writer Robert D. Kaplan to send a series of messages. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, referring to the domestic political environment and apparently given the rise of the Freedom Cruise and the Greek solution, pointed out that ‘The ghost of populism is always present’. As he added, the opposition is fragmented and this gives room to pop up populist voices again as “I feel that we sometimes tend to forget what happened ten years ago.”

The prime minister described the framework within which the government will move: “I am sure that as we fulfill our commitments, as we increase salaries and jobs we will have even better days ahead of us because we are in a strong budgetary position, which is now perceived by the average citizen. As long as we do all of the above and remain humble we have a very good opportunity to win the 2027 elections, “ emphasized. And he set the parameter of the dispute between the political responses and the reality of the elections, stressing that the citizens on the day they go to the ballot box would think about what is better for them, pointing out the parameter of political stability.

The prime minister, of course, also referred to the big issue of the days, the decision of US President Donald Trump to impose duties, and described ‘Opportunity Window’ The 90 -day suspension of the implementation of the measure in Europe. As he said, Europe and the US have the opportunity to negotiate a mutually beneficial solution and added that “A world trade war will have dramatic consequences for every country, including the US.”. He also reiterated that it makes no sense to impose tariffs on products such as olives and oil.

Mr Mitsotakis referred to relations with Turkey, saying that the main geopolitical difference of maritime zone demarcation remains, but that does not mean that there should be no communication channels or that we cannot work on areas of common interest, bringing the example of a visa to a visa. The prime minister also spoke of Greece’s close relations with a number of countries in the region, such as Israel and Egypt, but also about the importance of the fact that our country is a credible interlocutor with all sides in the complex geopolitical landscape of the wider region. Finally, he described the relationship with the US.
