Concern and intense reflection prevails in Maximus Palaceafter imprinting certain qualitative features in recent polls demonstrating tendencies of deterioration and restriction of the governmental Response to critical social strata. The prime minister, according to sources with the knowledge of the processes, has already begun processing scenarios of change in the government, with the aim of renewing government stigma and restoring political initiative.
The focal point of these plans is the move of George Gerapetritis from the Foreign Ministry back to the Maximus Mansion. The close associate of the prime minister, who enjoys his confidence, is believed to be able to play a catalytic role in coordinating the government’s work and in the operation of the Prime Minister’s Office. His presence at the decision -making center is estimated to give more flexibility to daily management and enhance the government’s efficiency image.
At the same time, changes are being discussed in top ministries, with the aim of renewing persons and enhancing effectiveness in areas that directly touch the daily lives of citizens, such as economy, social policy and infrastructure. According to the same sources, the prime minister allegedly determined to place key ministerial positions who will have no conflict features but understanding, with the aim of cultivating a climate of cooperation and limiting internal friction.
The choice of this strategy shows that the Maximus Palace seeks not only to give the image of political renewal, but also to restore the government to milder and stable pace, at a time when society is tired of controversy and seeking solutions to practical problems.
When and to what extent these changes will be made remains open, but the coming weeks are expected to be decisive in the direction that the government strategy will take.
