Prime Minister Mitsotakis’ agenda today centers around pivotal engagements following the Holy Spirit break. This includes a critical meeting at the Ministry of Immigration amidst recent controversies over Coast Guard actions highlighted in a BBC documentary. Additionally, he is actively preparing for European Summit negotiations regarding the selection of European institution leaders, where he will represent the EPP alongside Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
However, the focus of Mitsotakis’ day is primarily on the ND’s Central Committee meeting. Here, MPs will voice their perspectives in the aftermath of a challenging election outcome for the ruling party. The gathering aims to foster open dialogue, addressing any existing issues constructively to maintain party cohesion. This meeting underscores Mitsotakis’ commitment to governance reforms in response to electoral feedback and aims to reconcile any internal tensions.
MPs are expected to express various concerns, including perceptions of ideological shifts within ND and critiques of recent legislative decisions. Despite the anticipated critiques, palace sources anticipate a productive discussion aimed at addressing valid concerns and refining party strategies moving forward.
Moreover, the upcoming event featuring former prime ministers Samaras and Karamanlis on July 1st has also sparked interest and speculation within the Maximos Palace. Their anticipated remarks, which are expected to touch on both European and national issues, mark a significant political moment following the recent elections and reflect ongoing dynamics within the party.
