The anniversary of the death of Konstantinos Mitsotakis honors, by posting, by the Vice President of the Government, Kostis Hatzidakis. As he says, “As today, 8 years ago, the Konstantinos Mitsotakis. A great Greek politician, who deeply influenced my own political path. I still remember, then a student, watching a television interview.
I was very impressed by the purity of his thinking, his calmness, his arguments. I met him a little later, in my 21st, as a student. And our cooperation began when I took over as Secretary of DAP-NDFK. Since then, for almost three decades, he has been kept alive. I had the joy and honor to meet him often, either as a MEP or as a minister. The discussions with him were always a spiritual exercise».
And he continues: “Konstantinos Mitsotakis was a politician ahead of his time. With a square mind and an open spirit. Tolerant of opposing views, deeply liberal, really patriot. He ignored political costs when he believed that something was necessary for his good place. And he warned, with insight, of the painful consequences of populism and demagogy. “
And, for his political heritage, “today, in the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, we have the opportunity to raise Greece higher. To do other modern reforms that improve citizens’ lives. Without great words and policies “soap bubble”. But with truth and tangible work. And this is the best way to honor the memory of Konstantinos Mitsotakis! “, Concludes the Deputy Prime Minister, Kostis Hatzidakis.
