PM Mitsotakis speaks at open public gathering in the north Athenian suburb of Maroussi

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke at an open public gathering in the north Athenian suburb of Maroussi on Saturday.

About the February 28 train collision near Tempi, central Greece, which cost the lives of 57 people, mostly university students, the Premier said that “the vindication for the sacrifice of these youths is to ensure that what happened in Tempi never happens again in our country.”

“It is a mission that we must undertake. To correct all the wrongs of a Greece that dates back to the past, a Greece that hurts us, a Greece that does not express us, a Greece that does not deserve the new generation,” he pointed out.

Mitsotakis added that he has received a strong mandate since 2019 “to change the Greece that hurts us.”

On matters of the economy, he said that in 2019 Greece was “Europe’s growth laggard and today has the second largest growth rate in the European Union,” while unemployment “in 2019 stood at 17% and today stands at 11% and is decreasing.”

He then mentioned the ongoing digitization of public services and gov.gr, the government’s umbrella online platform.

“Let’s do our honest self-criticism where necessary, but we will not nullify the important work that we have achieved in these four years,” he noted.

“This struggle that I started in 2019  -to change this country and change it drastically- I will continue and complete it,” he stressed, so “let’s go, together, to change Greece, to make it the Greece we all dream of,” he concluded.
