Kyriakos Mitsotakis interview with Thema

Mitsotakis said the country needs a stable government

Newsroom June 3 04:09

In an interview with THEMA, Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasised the need for the country to have a “strong and stable government” after the June 25 elections because “only strong governments can make the big changes”.

The president of the ND, in view of the repeated popular mandate, called on his voters and all citizens not to abandon the step toward stability that was made at the polls last Sunday. “Then we were called to win, now we are called to govern,” he points out from his office on Piraeus Street, where he has moved in recent days, but is rarely there as he has begun the new election campaign in earnest and spends most of his time touring districts of the capital and cities of the periphery.

Speaking to “THEMA”, Mitsotakis, although he appears optimistic that his party will achieve its goal of “absolute majority”, does not neglect to mention the dangers that could arise by any complacency of the voters, as well as in the new showdown, the entry of more parties into the Parliament may limit the number of MPs that the majority ND will have. Responding to criticism from his opponents about his possible “omnipotence”, he assures that in his new term as prime minister, he will be “more modest, down-to-earth and faithful to my duties”, while stressing that he does not intend to proceed with constitutional reforms without consent of other political forces.

The outgoing and prime minister-in-waiting diligently avoids taking sides in the controversies between SYRIZA and PASOK but accuses the two parties of being identified as “tax-loving”, while hinting at the fact that Mr. Alexis Tsipras did not step down from the leadership of SYRIZA after his resounding defeat. Finally, he praises the “unorthodox games in the name of Orthodoxy” played by the leaders of the newly-formed party of Niki, as well as the intervention of the Turkish consulate in Komotini for the election of a specific candidate in Rhodopes, for which he indirectly calls on his party to withdraw him from the ballot in view of the new electoral contest.
