Mitsotakis on French elex: ‘It isn’t ideological, but a difference in concept regarding progress and conservatism’
He added that the current political situation in France has “interesting similarities with our country.”
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis took an unusually partisan position regarding the second round of France’s presidential election, saying the electoral battle between incumbent Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen “isn’t ideological, but a difference in the concept regarding progress and conservatism” – with the former representing progress in this case.
He added that the current political situation in France has “interesting similarities with our country.”
Mitsotakis spoke at a pre-summit gathering of his ruling center-right New Democracy (ND) party, held in the north Athens district of Halandri and entitled “Digital Revolution: A Friendly State Vis-à-vis Citizens.”
In qualifying his statement, he rhetorically asked whether the “gov.gr” initiative – which has digitized and made online transactions between the cavernous Greek state and citizens widespread over the past two years – is “right, center or left? None of these; It’s correct and progressive… All of these political dilemmas will accompany us in the next general elections, which will come at the end of the four-year (government tenure) period, in 2023. ND is the only political formation that can guarantee stability and the country’s place in the European acquis.”
