Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Sunday that Greece has made “undeniable progress” across a wide range of policy areas since 2019, as he defended his government’s record and reaffirmed its commitment to a decade-long reform agenda extending to 2030.
In his weekly social media post, Mitsotakis said his conservative New Democracy government’s performance should be judged “not with slogans, but with tangible results,” describing 2030 – the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the modern Greek state – as the horizon for its reform effort.
Noting that last week marked three years since New Democracy renewed its mandate in the 2023 election, Mitsotakis said: “I try every day to honor this mandate,” acknowledging that citizens’ expectations remain high and that his government has not always succeeded in meeting them.
However, he noted that Greece has made “undeniable progress” over the past seven years, citing advances in the economy, employment, the digital transformation of the state, healthcare, education and defense. While recognizing that problems affecting citizens’ daily lives remain unresolved, he said the government continues to tackle them with persistence.
Mitsotakis also criticized the opposition for, in his view, denying the country’s progress and dismissing its collective achievements. Instead of engaging in confrontation, he said, the government prefers to demonstrate its record through fulfilled commitments and measurable results.
