ATHENS – The period leading up to the elections on May 21 will be an opportunity “to remind citizens that we have honoured our key campaign pledges,” but mainly to “talk about all that is holding us back, about the great maladies of the state, about the sources of anachronism, the lack of meritocracy,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said, among others, in a video he uploaded on TikTok following the announcement of the date of the elections. He also underlined:

“We have to sweep these things away at even greater speed. And this is the mandate that I will personally request from the Greek people. Faster, bolder to take Greece higher and further.”
