New Democracy “remains the dominant political force in Greece – the second and third party are lower than our percentages,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday at the discussion he had with former Italian PM Enrico Letta in the framework of the 28th Annual Economist Government Roundtable.

“We had obviously set a goal corresponding to that we had in the European elections of 2019,” Mitsotakis said at the Glyfada Golf Club “Konstantinos Karamanlis”, referring to the European elections in Greece. “We did not meet it, but I take the messages by citizens very seriously. Of course there was some exhaustion due to the continuous elections, this led to abstaining also. But there were also a lot of citizens who utilized European elections to convey a message, mainly in term of the cost of living, which is at the top of our agenda. At the same time, however, the European elections did not change the fundamental political dynamics,” Mitsotakis added.
