Your Parliamentary Group will meet on Wednesday New Republic, where the electoral result will be evaluated but at the same time the movements of the following months will be discussed.
The party in power admits that it did not obtain the 33% leverage, a percentage that the ND had obtained. in the previous European elections. And with 28.3%, the distance from the opposition can be maintained, however high abstinence rates meant alarm for the “blue” ones.
Since Maximus the goal is to have a restart and seek to “execute” a series of reforms that were in New Democracy’s pre-election program. The Prime Minister began a series of visits to ministries and specific measures will be taken both in the battle with precision and in critical sectors such as health, transport, faster service to citizens.
In his post yesterday Kyriakos Mitsotakis characteristically emphasized that “the ballot boxes may now be a thing of the past, but not their message. I know that citizens are asking us to move even faster and more efficiently in all areas, but especially when it comes to their daily lives. And that’s what we’ll do.”
At Wednesday’s meeting, the election results are expected to be announced and to the causes that led to this in this and especially in the fact that the traditional voters of the ruling party did not turn out to the polls this time. It does not go unnoticed that there was a decline in the percentages (according to the analysis of exit polls) in groups such as farmers and freelancers, who in the national elections contributed decisively to the clear victory of New Democracy.
Without a doubt, the “menu” of the discussion will include the topic of rigor, which is the main problem for families. At the same time, the need to accelerate a series of reforms will be highlighted in order to convince citizens that there is no… tiredness.
Government officials note that the message from the polls was “we trust you, but be better, move faster.” They add that citizens voted in favor of New Democracy and Kyriakos Mitsotakis for the second time last year, with a mandate to implement a bold reform program by 2027.
The “traditional” audience
Following the result of the European elections, there were “blues” that centered on the need to address a traditional audience from the party. Mainly, they do not look at right-wing voters who were dissatisfied with the government’s choices (e.g. the civil marriage equality bill) and who chose to abstain or turn to smaller parties.
After the Euro elections Marios Salmas requested the extraordinary convocation of the party’s Parliamentary Group, to discuss the causes of the “adverse” outcome, as he described it. Nikitas Kaklamanis spoke of a “bell” and mentioned, among other things, that “the traditional and genuine popular right has long been marginalized by an improvised branch of PASOK within the faction”.
For his part, Notis Mitarakis referred to the issue of the election of the President of the Republic, which will take place in 2025. And he characteristically noted that “there are many notable leaders from the center-right, who have a historic path in politics, who could be candidates for President of the Republic. I think it’s a discussion that should be continued when she matures.”
It now remains to be seen whether at Wednesday’s meeting there will be murmurs from deputies about the openings that have been made in recent years and whether there will be references to the need to return to the roots. However, in his recent cabinet position, Kyriakos Mitsotakis sent clear messages, noting that citizens demanded “more work and fewer mistakes, greater results and shorter delays, on a path without hypocritical turns to the right, left or center”. , with forward direction only”.
