The results of the European elections triggered scenarios of cabinet reshuffle, which, as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis pointed out, “serve as the starting point for a new path towards 2027.”
“Starting tomorrow, we will focus more intensively on the issues, for more work and fewer weaknesses, for greater effort and fewer mistakes,” stated Mr. Mitsotakis in his statement, where he assessed the election results.
As the Prime Minister emphasized, “we have three years ahead of us without elections,” and Greece in 2027 will be much better than today’s Greece, just as Greece in 2024 is much better than it was in 2019.
Mr. Mitsotakis acknowledged that the governing party did not reach the goal it had set and admitted that “there were many voters who wanted to protest about issues concerning their everyday lives, with the most significant, the most crucial being accuracy.”
The prevailing sentiment among government officials is that the Prime Minister has long decided to proceed with changes to the government structure, and in light of the election results, these decisions will be accelerated.
The question remains whether the changes will be implemented in the immediate days ahead or whether, due to the Prime Minister’s scheduled consecutive trips to Jordan, Switzerland, and Brussels in the coming days, there will be a delay of a few days.
