During an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Greek PM and the leader of Greece’s New Democracy party, Kyriakos Mitsotakis highlighted that raising salaries would be a top priority if his party secures a second four-year term. Mitsotakis expressed his commitment to improving the economic situation and ensuring that citizens receive better remuneration. He also stated that if New Democracy forms a strong single-party government following the runoff elections on June 25, Greece would have the opportunity to attain investment-grade status.
On migrant allegations facing Greece, the Greek Prime Minister expressed his dismay at a video that surfaced, allegedly showing migrants being abandoned at sea. Mitsotakis described the footage as disheartening, emphasizing the need for a humane approach to addressing migration challenges. The issue of migration has been a significant concern for Greece, and Mitsotakis acknowledged the importance of finding sustainable and compassionate solutions.
