Today, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is in Rhodes, on a visit with a strong political impact, as the New Democracy believes that the next two years will be critical for shaping the electoral climate.

The message now being conveyed to government officials is clear: “Every day counts.” This is the guiding principle behind the Prime Minister’s Office’s strategy, which aims for a constant presence in society, engagement with citizens, and highlighting government initiatives.

The Prime Minister’s tours are not viewed as mere formal visits. On the contrary, they are viewed as a key tool for political pressure, especially at a time when the government is attempting to bring the narrative of effectiveness and stability back to the forefront.

The visit scheduled for next Tuesday (6/16) to Western Attica</, where the contract for the Skaramanga triple interchange is expected to be signed—a project the government presents as a major development initiative for the region.

The plan until the polls

In the government camp, it is estimated that following the 16th New Democracy Congress and the formation of the new Political Committee, the final run-up to the spring.

At the same time, a complete reboot of the party machinery is underway, with tours by party officials, local initiatives, and organizational efforts across the country.

New Democracy’s plan for the coming period is based on two main pillars. The first concerns the promotion of the government’s work. Government officials believe that consistency between what is announced and what is implemented remains one of the party’s strongest political “cards.”

For this reason, special informational materials have already been prepared, which will be used in interactions with citizens to present key government initiatives in a straightforward manner.

The second pillar concerns the new governance program. Under the coordination of Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis, work is underway on the new “Agenda 2030”, which will form the backbone of the New Democracy party’s commitments for the next four years.

The economy and the pressure of rising costs

The economy remains the focus, particularly citizens’ disposable income. At Maximos, they know that inflation continues to put pressure on households and believe that the coming months will be critical for the government’s political standing.

That is why new measures are on the table ahead of the Thessaloniki International Fair, aimed at supporting the middle class and the most vulnerable social groups.

In fact, during his interview on ANT1, Kyriakos Mitsotakis left open the possibility of measures that would also concern tax prepayments, in an effort to send a message of tax relief.

At the same time, New Democracy is attempting to expand its electoral influence, maintaining contact with its traditional base while also opening channels of communication with new social audiences.

Particular emphasis is also placed on bringing in new faces, a trend already reflected in the new Political Committee and expected to continue on the candidate lists for the upcoming elections.

The government’s main goal remains unchanged: a majority from the first round of voting. The New Democracy party’s political narrative will follow this line until 2027, with a focus on stability, continuity, and improving daily life.
