From now until 2027, when the elections will take place, “every extra month is important,” said Pavlos Marinakis referring to the government’s plans.

“The elections will be held in 2027 for two reasons. The first reason is because I believe this is consistent with the public’s expectations—so they know when a government is evaluated—and to establish a new, informal institutional norm,” emphasized government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis.

“The second reason is deeply political and is a personal strategic choice by Mitsotakis. We’re talking about the minimum wage; we have a promise of 950 euros, perhaps even more. “An average wage of 1,500 euros; we want to have delivered some specific major projects, such as the Metro to Kalamaria,” emphasized Pavlos Marinakis.

For all of this, every additional month is important. “We will not weigh our need to convince society that we meant what we said in 2023 against any other temptation,” said Pavlos Marinakis, among other things.
