Kyriakos Mitsotakis was asked about the percentage of voters that New Democracy will garner.
“We want to win by a clear margin” the Prime Minister emphasized on Open channel, while noting that in the last days there will be a struggle to convince the undecided.
“Let victory be clearcut so that it is not disputed the next day, and the prime minister as well,” said the prime minister.
On cooperation with PASOK
Kyriakos Mitsotakis, answering a question about whether there will be a coalition government with PASOK, let loose barbs about the party headed by Nikos Androulakis and its stance on a number of issues.
The prime minister emphasized that he wants a stable four-year government.
“We have major disagreements with PASOK. But I want a stable one-party government that adopts progressive policies,” said the prime minister.
On May Day and wages
Kyriakos Mitsotakis said he was glad that the world of labor demonstrated and agreed with the demand for better wages.
“We are facing a global crisis and there is no inflation caused by Mitsotakis,” said the prime minister.
Mr. Mitsotakis then defended the government’s choices with the “Household Basket” and the Market Pass.
“The VAT reduction doesn’t work”, said Kyriakos Mitsotakis once again, while he emphasized that this measure was tried in other countries and did not succeed.
“We can achieve what we promise,” said the prime minister, noting that all of New Democracy’s 2019 pre-election commitments were implemented.
“What SYRIZA is proposing is unenforceable”, pointed out Mr. Mitsotakis.
“If we had not supported the world of work we would have these results today”, the prime minister wondered and compared the situation with other countries, such as Spain.
On first residence and rents
Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke about the “My Home Program” and noted that he is willing to double the resources for it.
“We have increased the rent allowance for students,” particularly if student cohabitate, “which I encourage,” the Prime Minister said.
The prime minister emphasized that the Ministry of Labor will be split into two parts, with social policy and housing being a separate part, with the creation of a new ministry.
Who will he rule with?
“There will be many more women” in the new government and “big changes”, announced Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
However, the prime minister pointed out that now his mind is on the elections and the victory of the party.
In fact, he denounced the internet attack on the head of the state ballot of New Democracy, Irini Agapidakis.
On health
Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasized that his personal goal is for everyone to have access to Health, while he pointed out that the islands are a priority.
“We have not managed to solve the issue of attracting doctors”, admitted the prime minister, but “steps have been taken”, said Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
