Kyriakos Mitsotakis despatched a transparent message for “fuel” in authorities work, “extra work, fewer errors, higher effectivity and shorter delays”, as he sometimes mentioned, throughout his introductory remarks on the assembly of the cupboard assembly at present for the primary time with the composition ensuing from yesterday’s reshuffle.
The Prime Minister referred to the message of the European elections of June 9, emphasizing that it’s a station and a place to begin for the three years that observe.
The following day finds the ND first and with a power higher than the sum of the opposition events and Greece, a European pillar of stability, Mr. Mitsotakis emphasised, referring to the “severe turmoil in international locations comparable to France and Germany”, as he mentioned.
The chances didn’t attain the objective we had set, many voters who supported us in 2023 selected abstention however not the opposition, he famous and even stood on the message of the voters to the federal government.
“We should not overlook that many despatched us a message, extra work, much less errors, outcomes and fewer delays. March with out hypocritical turns to the precise, the left or the middle, we solely look ahead”, “Our residents requested for extra work and fewer errors, mentioned the prime minister, added the prime minister and added:
“41% to 2027 decide parliamentary affiliations”, but it surely recedes from the limelight as an event for our personal complacency and vanity, which isn’t essentially a foul factor. This authorities just isn’t afraid to take a look at its weaknesses. the residents despatched us the message we belief you however press the accelerator and never the brake, the prime minister mentioned, amongst different issues, in his presentation to the cupboard assembly with its new composition.
Swapping faces reveals nothing however making an attempt to be higher at our work. As he mentioned, we wanted a fight workers to have seen work and leads to a selected time, noting that he shall be strict with regard to the industriousness and teamwork of the federal government, “in addition to the residents who decide us”.
As for the outlook, it is three phrases: “Collectively for one of the best,” he mentioned and wished the brand new council an excellent begin.
What the prime minister mentioned intimately:
“Good day, girls and gents colleagues. To begin with, I want good power to each the brand new and the previous members of the Council of Ministers.
I even selected this primary assembly after the European elections to coincide with our new composition, exactly to ship an total message of a dynamic restart, as a result of June 9 was a cease on our path to this point, however primarily it’s also a place to begin in the direction of three years which follows.
Regardless of the given difficulties of this pre-election battle – and thanking you all for the struggle you fought -, the following day finds our faction first and with a power higher than the sum of our subsequent two opponents, but in addition finds Greece European pillar of stability. Let’s not overlook that states like France and Germany are already dealing with severe inside turmoil, which I imagine strengthens our personal position within the new European actuality.
In fact, our percentages didn’t attain the objective we had set. We’re properly conscious that many voters who supported us within the nationwide elections of Could and June 2023 selected to abstain. Nevertheless, they didn’t select – and I have to emphasize this – the help of the opposition. Quite the opposite, I’d say that it’s the positions of SYRIZA and PASOK that had been successfully condemned.
Additionally it is price stating that in absolute variety of votes we didn’t have a considerable strengthening of the extremes. And if we add to this the fatigue of the residents after successive electoral contests, and naturally the truth that these polls didn’t elect a authorities, I feel that they full the image.
Nevertheless, we should not overlook that a lot of our fellow residents, in their very own manner, despatched us a message. They requested us, in impact, for extra work and fewer errors, higher outcomes and fewer delay, in a course with out hypocritical turns to the precise, to the left or to the middle, with a path solely ahead.
And those that doubt, I encourage them to learn a hitherto unpublished interview that Konstantinos Karamanlis gave to Vassilis Vassilikos, which was printed for the primary time in a quantity concerning the founding father of our faction, by which he says one thing very fascinating: “I used to be” , mentioned Karamanlis, “all the time progressive, unaffected by dogmas and prejudices. I am neither right-wing, nor centrist, nor left-wing, so that each time I can select the answer that advantages my nation”.
Underneath these new circumstances, 41% of the nationwide elections apparently nonetheless decide, till the following nationwide elections in 2027, the parliamentary correlations, and they don’t change. For now, nevertheless, it recedes from the highlight, each as an opposition scaremonger about alleged vanity and as an event for our personal complacency and even typically vanity.
Which isn’t essentially a foul factor, particularly when this authorities has proven that it isn’t afraid to face its weaknesses and overcome them, as a result of I feel it’s clear that the residents final Sunday despatched us a message: “we belief you however strive extra. We do not imagine in “cash bushes” however we have now excessive calls for from you. Hit the accelerator, not the brake. We wish you subsequent to us and never throughout from us.”
These tendencies, then, will proceed to be our compasses in our political work, however, watch out, in our each day conduct as properly, I feel with pursuits that are suitable with the contemporary orders of the residents.
So tackling punctuality, a extra environment friendly state, restructuring the first sector, higher well being and training, I’d say are actually turning into our extra centered priorities. With out, nevertheless, having first and second gear portfolios or growing our speeds throughout the board. No portfolio is heavier than one other.
Every citizen considers his personal drawback as his personal precedence – we should always remember this – and that is what we’re referred to as to serve.
Now with regard to the ministerial construction, permit me to make two temporary remarks: its composition is all the time decided in accordance with wants. The change of individuals means nothing greater than our making an attempt to grow to be extra productive on a regular basis in our work, which I feel you may see even at present, seeing different colleagues who was once members of the Council of Ministers coming again, others taking up completely different duties.
And secondly, deep organizational modifications within the construction of the Ministries and the composition of the federal government, sure, they’ll repay, however solely when they’re mature. That’s the reason, regardless that I accepted such proposals for mergers and modifications, I made a decision that these aren’t of the second, as a result of such a factor requires a number of examine and time to assimilate these modifications.
We do not have that point proper now. What we want now could be a battle workers with a central goal: in every of the coverage areas by which you’re in cost we have now seen work and leads to a selected time.
All the time, the important thing to our success is dedication and onerous work. very properly that they’re indicators for which I can’t cover that I shall be strict, simply as very strict – extra strict, I’d say – are the residents who decide us.
I feel teamwork has all the time been one thing that has characterised us and it is rather necessary to protect it.
And let me additionally emphasize the significance, and this considerations your relations along with your Deputy Ministers, with the Secretaries Common: good cooperation is important. When there may be none, the primary duty all the time rests with the superior and never the subordinate.
We welcome, subsequently, this new starting extra skilled and extra decided, in reality at a time when the prevalence of our concepts and positions I imagine can be mirrored within the inside occasion impasses of the opposition.
So, we have now the chance to show much more powerfully in opposition to the issues, that are additionally our true opponents. By following this path, our reforms will achieve actual which means.
Reforms means leaving a mark on on a regular basis life, convincing even suspicious residents of our intentions, whereas on the identical time they are going to construct this sturdy Greece, which we would like, in 2027.
A powerful homeland, within the “coronary heart” of Europe, with a unique state, a considerably upgraded well being, an economic system by which unemployment will proceed to lower and wages will proceed to extend.
And naturally, on the identical time, our actions in Europe will even start, in a brand new five-year cycle, by which many issues shall be judged: the competitiveness of the European economic system. The continuation of a strict however honest immigration coverage. The help of Greek companies on this consistently altering setting.
The variation of the Widespread Agricultural Coverage to the information of the local weather disaster on the one hand, but in addition the necessity to help the revenue of our farmers, on the opposite. The demographic. Single protection coverage. All these are challenges that can occupy us as a complete.
Now we have already mentioned with our new group of MEPs their mode of operation. It is very important higher arrange their coordination with all Ministries.
I shall be, after the Peace Convention which is being held for Ukraine, in Brussels and my hope is that, as one of many two negotiators on behalf of the European Individuals’s Occasion, we will agree on the distribution of positions of duty within the management of European pyramid rapidly.
I feel this may take away a little bit of uncertainty, which I feel just isn’t good for Europe as a complete, in order that a minimum of we can have the vote for the brand new President of the European Fee – our proposal shall be Ursula von der Leyen and I respect that it is going to be voted by the Parliament-, to finish this vote earlier than the tip of July.
As for us, we proceed our work with the agenda of the Council of Ministers, as deliberate. We are going to as soon as once more state the plain, that we’re all judged by the outcome.
And I feel that if I had been to outline in simply three phrases the attitude that we should give to the residents who might view us with suspicion, it’s: collectively at one of the best.

“Collectively” signifies that our reforms, our modifications, our improvement in the end concern all residents and nobody is left behind, and I feel it’s as much as us to make this new starting a victory as properly. Good luck once more. Good begin to the colleagues who’re returning to the Council of Ministers, to those that are altering roles, and it’s as much as us, as I mentioned, to satisfy the excessive expectations, the justifiably excessive expectations of the residents”.
