“A cycle of toxicity was closed and misinformed the citizens” The Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, said yesterday, speaking to citizens in Thessaloniki. The prime minister’s reference to a circle that closed is anything but accidental. After all, statements at a similar wavelength were made by other government officials yesterday. It is clear that the government’s willingness to leave the Tempe case, which has dominated the central political debate since last January, triggering a high -tones confrontation and bringing about significant changes to the political landscape. And for the government itself, the polls were significant and a constant attempt was made to recover the percentages.

With the completion of Costas Karamanlis’ referral proceedings to the Judicial Council, there is an end to a long process, which included the issuance of findings, discussions in Parliament, pre -trial requests, a proposal of mistrust and was accompanied by a political controversy in particularly high tones. No matter how much in the government they think that from one point on, they have managed to regain the initiative of the moves, it is commonplace that maintaining a climate of confrontation and conflict on the central political scene no one favored and allowed the government to shift the debate where it considers it to be an advantage. Where, as a member of the Maximus Grand, the government can speak with specific data and based on the results of policies implemented, while opposition parties speak theoretically and often zero.

During his visit to Thessaloniki yesterday, the prime minister showed how the government would seek to move from now on: with many tours – the prime minister also asked for the ND Political Committee meeting. by party and government officials. Also, by transferring the discussion to the field of everyday life. Mr Mitsotakis traveled yesterday to works in Thessaloniki and, taking the occasion from the current context, put on the table and the issue of stability. “We are in a very dangerous area, with many crises that have erupted at the same time. We do not have the luxury, as a country, of a new internal division. We do not have the luxury of returning to times when we definitely want to leave behind. I would like to remind you that in a few weeks from now, the black anniversary of the tragic referendum is completed, after the banks had been closed, almost leading our country out of the euro and possibly outside the European Union.

We left these behind us. ”

It is an element in which the government will invest, recalling the adventures of the recent past. It will also invest in benefits. Mr Mitsotakis asked the citizens to be patient until the TIF and the announcements for 2026. He reiterated, however, that “As the economy is going well, the growth dividend will return to those who need it.”

At the moment, however, that according to the government a circle of harsh conflict is closing, a new cycle, focusing this time OPEKEPE and the subsidy scandal, opens. The case file sent to Parliament by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office for former Ministers of Rural Development Maki Voridis and Lefteris Avgenakis It shapes new data and certainly disrupts the straightforward narrative of success that the government would like to present from now on.

At the same time, new challenges are being shaped in the field of diplomacy. Yesterday’s development with the complaint on the part of the Libyan government breach of its sovereign rights by the invitation of Athens’ bids for maritime plots south of Crete, shows that a new, complex and unfavorable environment is being shaped in the bilateral relations. Additional reflection is caused by the fact that the announcement comes a few days after the notification of the other Libyan power pole of the Libyan power under the Haftar House of Representatives, based in Benghazi, to recognize the illegal Turkolibyan memorandum. Athens says that the Minister of Foreign Affairs George Gerapetritis He will soon visit Tripoli and Benghazi – around the beginning of July. The climate of the visit and its results will show what the new framework is.
