PM Defends 7-Year Record, Says Gov’t ‘Chooses Comparison Over Confrontation’

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Sunday defended his government’s record since taking office in 2019, saying his administration has delivered measurable progress across the economy, public administration, health care, education and national defense while pledging to press ahead with reforms through the end of the decade.

In his weekly social media post, Mitsotakis marked both the third anniversary of New Democracy’s re-election in 2023 and the approach of seven years since the party first came to power in July 2019. Rather than offering his customary weekly review of government activity, he presented what he described as a fact-based assessment of the administration’s overall performance.

“I choose comparison instead of confrontation,” Mitsotakis said, arguing that governments should ultimately be judged by whether they translate commitments into tangible results that improve citizens’ daily lives.
