The press conference of Kyriakou Mitsotakis to TIF It may not have made big news, but it has contributed to the demarcation of the political environment in front of us. The targeting of the Prime Minister’s Staff was to continue the low tones, Mr. Mitsotakis to provide answers to everything, but by no means the interview would not exceed the speech with the description of bold tax reform that he announced and which will be further specialized this morning (11:00) from the financial staff.
Mr Mitsotakis’ targeting this two days was evident: to reconnect with critical pieces of the electorate who supported the New Democracy In the 2019 and 2023 elections, they have either been removed or looking at those who are in disbelief.
Insisting on the strategy of the middle space, but also covering the party’s right wing, Mr. Mitsotakis targeted to families with children, in uniforms, pensioners, but also in young peopleeven making special reference to the social and age group. After all, the announcement of tax -free income up to 20,000 euros up to 25 years and the privileged taxation of up to 30 was one of the main surprises of the prime minister’s package and was much discussed.
Clear terms
Mr. Mitsotakis at the same time made sure to make the rules of the game for all players, politicians and non -politicians. Made it clear that election will be made in 2027, without changing the electoral law. Rejected As ‘ABARI’ the debate on ‘change on the go’ in the leadership of the ND that some may imagine.
In fact, Mr. Mitsotakis twice referred to the so -called “cuisine“, Saying that it may concern some people around Kolonaki Square, but not the vast majority of citizens. Of course, this message has also reached out -of -the -art centers that may have a different view of the events, and the reference to “gold sponsors” of Mr Tsipras’ return, which caused most of the discussions as much as discussions, did not go unnoticed.
Citizens judge self -sufficiency or cooperation
In an interesting way, however, twice Mr. Mitsotakis avoided describing the self -reliance of the ND as an end in itself for citizens. Reversing the dilemma, he explained that his goal in 2027 is to describe to the citizens a series of deliverables on the basis of the 2023 announcements and to call for the renewal of the political contract with him and with the ND. And as he said, it is the citizens who will decide whether the ND will be self -sufficient in 2027 or there should be a co -operation government. In this case, the prime minister seemed not to ignore the current state of fragmentation in the political system.
Double message to the former
Mr. Mitsotakis chose the logic of the recruitment and against the former prime ministers, Antonis Samaras who deleted from a Member and is raised to have a party in the coming months, but also Kostas Karamanlis who is preparing a new intervention in October in the presentation of a book by Euripides Stylianidis.
“Certainly there have been disagreements on policy issues and answers that were given on both sides, especially on foreign policy issues. But I believe that the big picture is ultimately the image of a line that today is the only force of stability in our country and the only force that can ensure the well -being of the Greeks and keep the national boat safe in very troubled times. And I believe that in the end this logic will prevail and I don’t want to say anything more than that, “Mr Mitsotakis said meaningfully.
The opening towards the former was clear, though hostilities on their axis have been multiple lately. K. Mitsotakis thinks they are trying to pull the carpet, and they do not oppose them, ignored their views and altered the character of the line.
So, as Prime Minister, Mr Mitsotakis took a step back, awaiting the answer. Experienced observers, however, do not wait … miracles, so the message can change character. And “Mountzouris” for any continuation of the tension to be charged by the government camp to the “former” who ignored the nod. Of course, as an experienced political source put it, by 2027 the road is long and the processes are many.
One way the recovery
After the completion of the Thessaloniki two -day period, the government staff returned to its base. And for Mr. Mitsotakis the route of recovery is a one -way street, no matter how much it seemed to dispel the tax breaks program described by short -sighted political goals.
Mr Mitsotakis knows that the environment is not favorable and government deterioration from six years of stay in power is not an ally. By the step of her TIF He wanted to show that he remains the dominant of the game and could re -define the agenda of the debate, considering that citizens will credit him with the return of a dividend of growth without fiscal risks.
This remains to be seen in the measurements that will run in the coming days, but Mr. Mitsotakis knows that the four months until the end of the year will not only be straight. The recovery is a one -way street, otherwise in 2026 it will enter with more adverse omen for the prime ministerial staff.
