His relationships Kyriakou Mitsotakis with him Nikos Dendias “he is at the best point” declared on Wednesday morning Pavlos Marinakis. “Mr. Dendias is at the forefront of very important successes. Politics are not background nor aristologies, they are policies. They both have an understanding and a result“, noted the government representative speaking to .
“The prime minister’s change-on-the-fly scenarios are Halima’s fairy tales. Kyriakos Mitsotakis has said that he will be judged by the voters and not by the parapolitical kitchen of ten cafes around the Parliament. The most unfair accusation against this government is on foreign policy and defense. In these years of Mitsotakis, Dendias in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense, Gerapetritis, Greece achieved what it had not achieved for 45 years: EEZ with Italy, extension to 12 nm, Maritime Spatial Planning, Rafale, Belharra. Islanders and Evros will remember who protected them in 2020 with the hybrid attack“, he said characteristically.
“No cigarette and guitar to the Unknown Soldier”
The government representative started from the parades, stressing that some invested in provocations but it did not pass, given that there are two things that have changed and apply differently in 2025 compared to previous years: the doctrine of “applying the law” and where society is today. “Post-political Greece cultivated through the political system and tried to pass many myths. A part of society was seduced by this revolutionary and supposedly progressive mood. However, the years passed, the world understood that all this set Greece back a long way. So society has also shifted and we must see this as a government and not back down from any such initiative”. he reported.
And he added:
“One of the most extreme accusations the government has been accused of is that it fosters toxicity. Let me remind you that we are the government that has been accused of harboring a smuggler. We have been accused by the Leader of the Opposition of being the masterminds – and the Prime Minister personally – of a cover-up that was never proven. We have been accused of hiding wagons, of disappearing the dead. We have been accused by Mr. Famellos for the death of a man, Mrs. Konstantopoulou has insulted the memory of a dead train driver because he once worked for the prime minister. We answered all these with arguments and it seems that we are justified”.
“In the last period of time on the occasion of a hunger strike of a suffering father some invested by the political parties again in the mess, don’t be fooled”, Mr. Marinakis noted at the same time, while on the occasion of a video circulating on social media with police officers asking a group of young people to move away from the Unknown Soldiercommented:
“A cigarette and a guitar in the open air is fine, just not at the Unknown Soldier, not where we honor the nation’s heroes. Police officers work hard hours under difficult conditions and look at the professionalism with which they dealt with a situation. The police will enforce the law, we are achieving the goal of enforcing it. Unfortunately, the amendment was needed to be implemented because we were not all on the same page. There should be no citizens in this country who want to do their revolutionary gymnastics or play their guitars or light their cigarettes where we praise and honor those who sacrificed so that we can be free today.”
In fact, the government representative launched an attack on PASOKaccusing it of being inconsistent in its stance on the amendment. “When you say something is unnecessary, you are not saying that you will abolish it when you come to power. Today PASOK said through Mr. Mantzou that the amendment is unnecessary. Can you tell me an ordinance that prohibited any gathering of either spray or paint or anything at the Monument to the Unknown Soldier? If there was, let PASOK bring it to Parliament.”
“Politics is not done in terms of 15 members, no intention of reformation”
Afterwards, Pavlos Marinakis was asked about the scenarios about restructuringhowever, putting an end to these rumors. “There was a very recent reshuffle, about 7 months ago, there is no such intention, not even on the horizon,” as he said.
“I think that in a period where we still have a lot to do, we have achieved significant successes. In the last few weeks alone we have had major announcements: the 2nd lowest food inflation in Europe, a significant 35% reduction in outpatient waits, the lowest unemployment in 17 years. I don’t remember another 2nd four-year government and another political leader to be first in all measurements and elections by a clear margin for 10 years. Unprecedented situations and imported crises have occurred, but we have also made mistakes.”
Invited to comment on what is being heard about new possible parties from the Alexis Tsipras and Antonis Samaras, he emphasized that the world is not interested in talking about hypothetical one-man parties.
“Politics is not done in terms of 15 members. The parties must answer questions: with whom will you govern, what do you think about foreign policy, the economy, taxes, defense. The parties have leaders, at the moment we cannot compare a government with measurable work, an opposition that is in Parliament with something hypothetical and indefinite.”
