Mitsotakis underline that this government had demonstrated a monumental ineptitude in implementing the memorandum it had signed on to and in dealing with the refugee crisis. He dubbed the sudden decision by the government to push for the adoption of a proportional representation electoral system a ploy that proved they were politically amoral. ‘We have a duty to react in unison as a political system, we are up against political amoralists’, he pointed out. He claimed proportional representation was contrary to common sense, adding it was imperative the proposed draft bill did not receive the needed 200 votes when it came to the plenary session in parliament. Mitsotakis blasted the government t for trying to manipulate and control the media and disdain the justice system. In brief account under his leadership in New Democracy, he stressed that the party was not using populism to gain approval and was speaking the truth to those who had honoured him in the party elections. ‘We put the party’s finances in order and changed our articles of association. We have started deliberation for a new program platform’, he said.
