The <strong>Greek economy<\/strong> maintained <strong>growth rates<\/strong> higher than the European average, <strong>employment<\/strong> continued to strengthen, and the country attracted new <strong>investments<\/strong>. At the same time, the <strong>reduction in the tax burden<\/strong>, the expansion of <strong>digital services<\/strong> provided by the government, the implementation of the <strong>Digital Work Card<\/strong>, the <strong>\u201cProlavano\u201d<\/strong> preventive health screening program, the establishment of <strong>non-state universities<\/strong>, the operation of the <strong>Thessaloniki Metro<\/strong>, progress on the <strong>Land Registry<\/strong>, and reforms in the <strong>judiciary<\/strong> form a network of changes that affect citizens\u2019 daily lives. Also part of this framework are the strengthening of the <strong>Armed Forces<\/strong> with the frigate <strong>Belharra<\/strong>, the country\u2019s participation in the new <strong>European defense programs<\/strong>, and the utilization of resources from the <strong>Recovery Fund<\/strong> are key pillars of the government\u2019s strategy for the coming decade.<\/p>\n<h3>The assessment will take place in <strong>everyday life<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As the government enters the final year before the <strong>elections<\/strong>, the focus is shifting from the implementation of <strong>reforms<\/strong> to their impact on society. Further strengthening <strong>disposable income<\/strong>, addressing <strong>high prices<\/strong>, easing <strong>housing pressure<\/strong>, and further improving the functioning of the <strong>state<\/strong> are issues that will decisively influence the political assessment of this second term of the government led by <strong>Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/strong>. At the same time, accelerating the work of the <strong>judiciary<\/strong>, completing major <strong>infrastructure projects<\/strong>, and continuing <strong>investments<\/strong> remain critical objectives, as they are directly linked to the <strong>competitiveness of the economy<\/strong> and the quality of <strong>public services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Given <strong>Kyriakos Mitsotakis\u2019s<\/strong> intention to serve his full <strong>four-year term<\/strong>, this final period takes on particular political significance. The government aims to complete the <strong>reforms<\/strong> currently underway and to present the comprehensive <strong>Agenda 2030<\/strong>, through which it aims to maintain the country\u2019s momentum in the <strong>economy<\/strong>, <strong>institutions<\/strong>, <strong>investments<\/strong>, and <strong>defense<\/strong>. The final verdict, however, will depend on whether citizens perceive that the changes of the past three years have substantially improved their <strong>daily lives<\/strong>. If this happens, the slogan <strong>\u201cWe said it, we did it\u201d<\/strong> will take on even greater political significance, as it will be associated with a government that sought to transform <strong>pre-election pledges<\/strong> into concrete <strong>government initiatives<\/strong>, with consistency and continuity, and to lay the groundwork for the country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three years after the 2023 elections, the government can present a comprehensive review of its projects and reforms and is entering the final &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
