Kyriakos Mitsotakis: European elections are not for experiments and frivolous protest

They will judge whether the country will remain stable and in progress in an unstable environment in the world and in our region. according to what he said in a message read during the anniversary event organized in Patras by the Achaia Administrative District Committee of the South West. In his message Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that in the European elections there is no room for mistakes and experiments. “In this party we are all soldiers, with a weapon of truth, responsibility and persuasion. Without denying weaknesses. But also responding with evidence to the unfair accusations. Something we will need, going to the European elections. A double-critical battle. Not only because in Brussels we are awaiting demands for more funds especially for our farmers,” he stressed. “But also because the June poll will have a national imprint. Judging by whether the country will remain stable and in progress in an unstable environment in the world and our region. At the same time, however, it will be decided whether everything we have achieved and achieved daily will continue. At a time when there’s no turning back. And it leaves no room for mistakes and experiments,” he continued. He said that “it is therefore not the time for complacency and inactivity, for thoughts of abstaining or sending frivolous protest messages” and added: “We already feel these, and we answer them, trying to get better. Instead, it’s hours of struggle and rallying. Much more so when we have an opposition to chaos and impasse. Misery and division”. In detail the message “Dear President and members of the Management Committee, New Democrats and New Democrats of our Achaia, welcome with enthusiasm your event for the 50 years of our group. An anniversary, which coincides with the completion of half a century from the restoration of the Republic in the country, with our founder Constantinos Karamanlis leading. Your presence in her today, I’m sure she’ll carry the pulse of the party across the Peloponnese. And from there, in every corner of Greece. It’s an excuse to look back at the starting point and the route that our party has run so far. To be proud of our successes, but also to learn from our failures. With the advantage of experience, to see everything that made us the strongest centre-right force on the continent. But also the party with the greatest offer in our country. The party that put our country in the European family and kept it there when it was in danger of disastrous choices. Which kept her standing in successive difficulties she encountered: from the migratory invasions to the three-year pandemic. And from the challenges of our neighbours in the Aegean, to the international energy crisis and the natural disasters caused by the Climate Crisis. This is the New Democracy, which made Greece in 2024 have one of the highest growth rates and one-digit unemployment. Supporting income with permanent wage and pension payments and constantly raising embankments to imported accuracy. Only yesterday, after all, was the fourth increase in the minimum wage and the 18 allowances linked to it announced. A dynamic and spacious party, which brings together all citizens who believe in patriotism of responsibility and the modernisation of creation. Those who want our country to overcome the decades-old pathogens that hold it back. And, with reforms, improve daily life in all fields. And most importantly in Economy, Health, Education and the operation of the State. It is the New Democracy that keeps our borders armored and our national defence strong as ever with modern equipment and means. Which strengthens the Greek voice abroad. While inside it makes sure growth increases public property. So that all citizens will have a share in it. By 2027, the average salary in the country is 1,500 and the basic 950 euros. In this party we are all soldiers, with a weapon of truth, responsibility and persuasion. Without denying weaknesses. But also responding with evidence to the unfair accusations. Something we will need, going to the European elections. A double-critical battle. Not only because we are expected in Brussels for more funds, especially for our farmers. But also because the June poll will have a national print. Judging by whether the country will remain stable and in progress in an unstable environment in the world and our region. At the same time, however, it will be decided whether everything we have achieved and achieved daily will continue. At a time when there’s no turning back. And it leaves no room for mistakes and experiments. It is therefore not the time for complacency and inaction. For thoughts of abstaining or sending frivolous protest messages. We feel these things already, and we answer them, trying to get better. Instead, it’s hours of struggle and rallying. Much more so when we have an opposition to chaos and impasse. Misery and division. So I invite you to fight this battle together in the name of the 50 years of the honored New Democracy. Each of us to become the voice of the party in cities and villages. And every friend of hers should join a national goal: Greece should remain sure and safe. Away from adventures. And continue to walk in the path of collective development and individual prosperity! Happy New Democracy! Happy birthday, Greece! Let’s go together for another win! “
