Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited Agrinio on Saturday afternoon as part of his tour across Greece ahead of the European elections on June 9, sending a message of unity to achieve, as he said, the electoral three-pointer following New Democracy’s victories in the national elections of May and June 2023.
The Prime Minister, in light of the debate in Parliament on Friday regarding accuracy, criticized the opposition, saying, “You can’t come and say that the answer to the problem of accuracy is to reduce VAT and give a 13th and 14th salary; we’ve heard it before. We will not fall for the false and populist proposals of some who lie to you looking you in the eye. We will not deceive you like some others.”
