The end of his work 14th conference of ND also marked the beginning of a long and difficult one – as predicted by circumstances – pre-election period. The signal was given by himself Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis both during his speech at the beginning of the congress, as well as during his speech at the end yesterday, while the speeches of the ministers and top executives of the ruling party had a pre-election tone.
The Prime Minister may have repeated for the umpteenth time that the elections will take place at the end of four yearshowever, informally declared a long pre-election period for the next 12 months, during which the government will seek to complete its government program, and highlight its policies that have worked as embankment in multiple crises called to manage. “And you will put your signature on another electoral victory in the elections that will take place in 12 months from now. So that we will never roll back again” Kyriakos Mitsotakis said very characteristically from the podium of his party’s congress.
Works and acts of VS populism
The climate that is prescribed in this far pre-election period was also outlined by the Prime Minister himself, who set the tone and set against him any kind of populism, putting mainly and clearly against SYRIZA.
“In the time to come, and as we work to implement our plan, populism will play its last role. And precisely because it will be its most desperate attack, have no doubt that it will be tougher and “Not only jeopardizing what the country has achieved so far, but overall torpedoing its position in an unstable international environment,” he said, adding that this is the biggest threat, adding that “Stable states. And it is a critical assumption from which the tasks of the faction in the next 12 months also derive.”
The Prime Minister raised the tones and hardened his speech, commenting on the tactics of SYRIZA, on the occasion of the stance he took in all the great crises that our country was called to face, characterizing it “social sabotage”. Because, as he accused him, he employs ruthless lies to distort reality and seeks the “party” kiss of life in the artificial respiration of demagogy. “Inexpensive promises sound good. But they imprison minds. And then false expectations are born. The beautiful words burn beautifully and the populists immediately forget what they were throwing away, leaving the citizens alone to live under the rubble of the lies. It is something that “We lived it, we paid for it, it taught us a lot. We must never forget it. We must never live it again. The country turned the page. But not SYRIZA, which remains synonymous with misery and denial,” the prime minister said, raising his voice sharply. which will henceforth move the political controversy.
As an antidote to populism, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, as he said in his speech at the conference, attaches importance to credibility of political discourse and beyond the slogan “We said it. We did it” called the ND executives in their speech and include the verbs “We try” “We care” and “We act”. “Which means that the government is rolling up its sleeves, while the party is raising the flag of a more dynamic opening to society,” he said.
The goal is autonomy as a national necessity
The power of its system simple analog in the next elections it automatically means the beginning of a hard “rock” as we approach the polls, as the difficult issue is autonomy. However, as the Prime Minister described it, it does not seem impossible for the ruling party, which he called on standby, “we must face the first ballot box. The simple proportional ballot box at the end of four years until the final ballot box. “correlations that will be validated later and more dynamically in the second ballot box. The stepping stone for the victorious final straight.” he said, again and emphatically characterizing the three “S”: stability, continuity, consistency, as national issues.
The first major confrontation of the informal pre-election period
In this climate, the thread of the first great political controversy, in the informal pre-election period that we seem to be going through, is expected to be cut by the debate in the Parliament on Thursday, the Greece-US defense agreement. An agreement he signed the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias by Anthony Blinken’s American counterpart in October 2021, for which Mr. Dendias had stated after its signing “that it creates a shield to protect our country. It also creates a shell under which the United States can invest in Greece, in improving not only the defense facilities of the country, but also within a broader and more general framework of cooperation, which is created and improved. ” An agreement, however, that it had found against SYRIZA, whose stance during its vote by the Greek Parliament will judge the tones of controversy, a few days before the Greek Prime Minister’s trip to the US and his meeting with the US President.
