I consider it is my duty to get past the hurdle of simple proportional representation as quickly as possible and I am willing to return the exploratory mandate to you this afternoon so that we can hold elections, possibly on June 25th,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said during his meeting on Monday with the President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou, after receiving the first exploratory mandate for the formation of a new government following the elections.
Mitsotakis said that the country needs a strong government as soon as possible, with a four-year horizon, and insisted that “the best thing for the country is to discuss the real problems, how we will increase wages and how we will support the social state and to talk about the challenges and the issues that concern the younger generation”.
He called May 21 election result a “step advancing to maturity” and reiterated that the result makes it clear that the conditions for the formation of a government in the present parliament do not exist.
