Mitsotakis Plans More Frequent Public Appearances

Kyriakos Mitsotakis is planning to step out of the Maximos Mansion more frequently, as he remains committed to a strategy aimed at restoring New Democracy’s connection with the public following the major fallout from the Tempi train disaster.

Already, the Prime Minister’s office is registering encouraging signs for the ruling party in public opinion polls, while placing emphasis on a series of initiatives set to unfold in May as part of a “positive agenda.”

There is also the possibility that next week Mr. Mitsotakis will make another trip outside of Attica, depending on the availability in his schedule. Meanwhile, the government is placing significant importance on initiatives like the upcoming evaluation of public services by citizens via a digital platform on gov.gr. This initiative will be presented next Tuesday by Interior Minister Theodoros Livanios and Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou.
