Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis outlined the roadmap for the next four years during the first cabinet meeting on Wednesday, at Maximos Mansion.
“We are starting the second term with responsibility and optimism; a term of efficiency and important steps forward,” Mitsotakis underlined.
At the beginning of the cabinet meeting, the prime minister referred to the “unprecedented victory” of New Democracy in the June 25 elections, noting that “there is no other example of a government that wins a second consecutive four-year term with a huge difference from its political opponents.”
“We are proud but also grateful for the choice of the Greek people” he said, adding that the Greeks condemned false promises and divisive logic, and opted for realistic policies.
The prime minister set out a hierarchy of the four major priorities of the current four-year period, saying that these were better salaries, a better national health system, a better state, and a better life in a strong Greece.
He emphasised to his ministers that “the blue dossiers in front of you contain a total of 120 reforms, 79 milestones of the Recovery Fund and 959 operational actions with a four-year horizon.”
Mitsotakis reiterated that the government’s first bill will concern the state and how it will become more efficient and the second will reflect central financial commitments of the entire four-year period, such as the return of Athens and Thessaloniki water companies, EYDAP and EYATH, respectively, to the full control of the public, as they had been placed under the control of the super-fund by SYRIZA.
