Kyriakos Mitsotakis Ends Leadership Succession Speculation in ND Parliamentary Group

In a clear message to his party that he will lead Greece into the 2023 elections under his leadership, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is expected today to address the ‘blue’ Parliamentary Group. The prime minister, who has declared his intention to seek a third term in office, aims to put an end to succession scenarios and internal rivalries that have surfaced recently. By announcing social initiatives such as the fifth increase in the minimum wage and pay raises for military personnel, Mitsotakis seeks to ease tensions within his party. During the meeting, MPs are expected to voice their concerns about returning to the party’s roots and highlight key issues affecting citizens. Mitsotakis will also review the government’s achievements so far and emphasize the importance of political and economic stability amidst global developments like US tariffs. Furthermore, he will criticize opposition propaganda regarding recent controversies, accusing them of concealment. A new secretary for the parliamentary group, Apostolos Vesyrópoulos, is expected to be elected during today’s session.
