Kyriakos Mitsotakis

Asked about Tsipras’ populism, he said that the government’s efforts to interfere in institutions are doomed to failure simply because, as he believes, it will lose the forthcoming general election.

A mysterious four-hour Athens stopover of a Venezuelan state aircraft carrying Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza on 2 March was reported by Greek SKAI television and radio today. The aircraft had taken off from Caracas and arrived in Greece without a flight plan. It had previously been denied permission to land in both Portugal and Switzerland […]

The government has no right just for the sake of keeping its hope alive to marshal means that undermine the smooth functioning of democracy.

A whopping 67 percent replied that the Prespa Agreement will greatly affect the electoral outcome.

The government agreed with creditors on high primary surpluses which it hiked even more so that it could distribute poverty benefits.

'We should go together and say in a Europe that has taken a lesson from the rise of the radical right and populist forces that such high primary surplus targets only feed into discontent.'

The government’s games with the constitutional revision undermined every effort to reach a parliamentary consensus

The fact that the provision on church-state relations was not passed by a two-thirds majority today means that it will need two-thirds to pass in the post-election Parliament.

It is impermissible for partisan criteria to take precedence over the need of the whole of society to meet the challenges of our era

The crucial political issue is that now the main opposition can deny the government the requisite enhanced majority to elect the president so as to force a general election and topple the government.

The interior minister said there will be a “technical and institutional solution” for voters who are registered in the provinces but live and vote in Attica to cast their municipal and prefectural ballots where they live.

The leader of New Democracy called for a change in the agenda of Greece-Germany economic relations.

Businessmen and bankers believe that even in these problematic conditions Mitsotakis and a New Democracy government have the opportunity to present a contemporary and effective growth model.

The report also concerns itself with Skopje’s EU course, and it calls for a roadmap for implementation and enforcement of the Prespa Accord in the longer term.

'Mr. Tsipras, who characterised Maduro’s power as ‘a model that should be emulated in Europe’, is offending Greece by insisting even now on supporting him. '

'The EU perspective is very present. The Council last year set forth a clear path toward the opening of accession talks in June, 2019.'

“I shall fight with all my might to temper the negative consequences that will certainly arise from a problematic agreement. Today is a difficult, sad day for Greece. '

'You accuse us of ceding [the status of] a people. Mr. Mitsotakis, you cannot cede something that you do not have. We did not have a Macedonian language.'

MP Andreas Loverdos says Skopje changed the order of events in the agreement and will incorporate the amendments in its constitution only after the Greek parliament approves FYROM’s Nato accession.

Analysts now view PM Alexis Tsipras as the head of a minority government that cannot fully govern despite the recent confidence vote in which it received an absolute majority in parliament.

Opposition parties are up in arms over the agreement and the allegedly nefarious backroom deals to forge an absolute parliamentary majority for ratification.

'Our intention is to inform every single Greek citizen on all aspects of the agreement so that they can judge lucidly whether the agreement serves our national interests or not,' the statement read.

Those who believed that the exit from bailout memorandums would put an end to political extremities and populist rhetoric have seen their hopes dashed.

Those in power must understand at long last that the economy and society cannot endure a repetition of the 2015 crisis.

Mr. Tsipras was greatly aided by the failure of efforts to unite the Greek centre-left – which sought to bring into a coalition Pasok, the Potami party, and the Democratic Left.
