It closed with the speech of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis the first day of the 14th Congress of New Democracyat the Metropolitan Expo.
The three-day conference will conclude on Sunday afternoon, also with a speech by the Prime Minister.
Watch live the speech of the Prime Minister from the Congress of the ruling party:
The Prime Minister referred to the unity of New Democracy and stressed that on Sunday he will propose the renewal of the term of Pavlos Marinakis in his post.
He also stressed that all united in New Democracy, they make the report of “an exciting 3 years” in the governance of the country.
Mr. Mitsotakis referred to the war taking place in Europe and specifically in Ukraine.
Referring to the beginning of his government, he criticized the SYRIZA government and proceeded with an account of the work of the ND government and in particular the reforms that proceeded, “giving confidence to Greek women and men and make them proud.”
“The Congress of our party will take place every year, its doors will be open and its leader will be elected by thousands of members and friends, the New Democracy is all of Greece and all Greeks. This is our big difference, because a conference is not regular if it is held every 6 years, if it does not look for the causes of defeat and the one and only candidate leader has only an opponent. When you elected me president of ND, I promised to grow our party and I kept this commitment in full. I honor and we honor all our predecessors, Vangelis Meimarakis, Antonis Samaras Costas Karamanlis, we always remember with emotion those who are no longer with us Miltiadis Evert, Konstantinos Mitsotakis, Evangelos Averof, George Ralli and always keeping our hearts the imposing vision of our founder Konstantinos Karamanlis. The whole ND is here today, we are united, underlined the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, during his speech at the beginning of the 14th regular Congress of New Democracy.
He continued: “Our compass is the well-being of the citizen with a lot of work for the next 12 months and for another 4 years. The pre-conference dialogue was rich and ND thus strengthened its ties with the citizens. I will suggest the renewal of the term of office of Pavlos Marinakis as Secretary of the Political Committee. “Paul deserves it and we deserve it.”
