After dismantling Nikos Androulakis as a potential rival with his own help, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is now attempting to consolidate the phenomenon of Zoë Konstantopoulou. The column has identified this trend for some time. The question remains whether the public is more interested in sending a message to the prime minister and his government or ensuring relative security for the country’s future. Past events do not inspire confidence in the wisdom of the Greek electorate. Meanwhile, the government is focusing on internal dissent and succession plans within its ranks. The strategic goal of Mitsotakis appears to be leading ND into the next elections himself. In the center-left, all eyes are on Alexis Tsipras’ initiatives and Androulakis’ efforts to regain momentum. Regarding subsidies for ferry tickets, negotiations continue to finalize a model that will benefit families traveling to Greek islands. The government is also quietly shifting its development doctrine by supporting industrial units rather than just tourist investments. Following the first day of the tariff war, global markets have reacted negatively, but responses from different countries vary, highlighting Trump’s strategy to create separate negotiation tables. The ECB’s upcoming meeting could see interest rate cuts to ease borrowing costs. Additionally, new storm clouds gather over the Middle East with significant US military movements signaling potential conflict with Iran.
