Finally, in a series of scenarios for possible political developments, which are constantly feeding on a sense of political liquidity and seems to contribute to maintaining, if not to reinforce, a climate of turmoil within the government majority, the prime minister wanted to put from Thessaloniki.

The fact that these scenarios are largely fueled by discussions and estimates between government officials shows that what he said is also inside the ruling party. After all, references to “rings”, “change of leadership”, scenarios for early elections and amending the electoral law primarily concern the interior of the government and the ND.

At the same time, the prime minister sought to identify the space in which the ruling party is seeking social and political alliances.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis, therefore, appeared categorical for a series of scenarios. In particular:

– For electoral law He said that “I have no intention of changing the electoral law. Maintaining the rules of the game is important for citizens to know how to put them in the next election. I believe in one -party governments. And in 2023 they believed that autonomy was not possible, but we succeeded. ”

He appears firmly in the position he consistently expresses, however, the low democratic performance of the New Democracy. They have increased the pressure on the part of the ruling party for changes that will enhance their chances of re -election. If this image does not change in the polls expected soon, it is a matter of time for the discussions to be reinstated.

– whether it will give a ‘ring’ On his succession before the election, he replied: “You will be joking. I don’t know who are moving these scenarios. I understand why some interests for their own reasons want to cause suspicions and turmoil. Let’s be a little serious. Imaginary scenarios that some people move on their own loneliness and the sadness that will cause them to be confirmed. If you believe that an elected prime minister with strong popular legitimacy, whose party is still ahead of polls with some wear and tear, but with more than 10 points from the second, such a process would begin … “. And this debate, however, is linked to the image of the ruling party and the political performance, which will largely decide whether to return to the forefront. Like the scenarios for a possible acceleration of the elections, which the prime minister also denied, reiterating that elections will be held in 2027 and that the government would run out of four years.

Mr. Mitsotakis showed that wishes to lower the tones On the front that has been shaped with the former prime ministers Kostas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras. “Certainly there have been disagreements and answers given on either side, but I think the great picture is that this lineup is the only force of stability in our country. And I believe that this logic will prevail, “he said, making a clear opening to his two predecessors in the leadership of the ND.

In terms of oppositionthe prime minister reiterated that he was moving in line to lower the tones in political dialogue and made a clear opening to the opposition party, stating that “PASOK is the main party with which we can agree”, while saying that he was accepting his proposal for Nikou.

On the contrary, put Alexis Tsipras oppositesaying that “he failed as prime minister and leader of the opposition”, but also that “there are some businessmen who have assumed the role of Mr Tsipras’ gold sponsor.”

At the level social alliancehe spoke of “a silent majority of citizens who want to approach Europe at all levels”. And made it clear that this majority, which turned to ND. And he supported him in the previous two elections, he will seek to re -order and bring back, near the ruling party.
