The executive state was a great success in Greece, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in an interview on Thursday.
Speaking to Star TV, Mitsotakis said that the model could be improved, both in terms of logistics and in terms of choosing who to staff it with.
Mitsotakis said that his greatest challenge for a second four-year term would be health, and particularly its efficiency and staffing, as “you cannot possibly wait 12 months for an operation.”
He revealed that he wanted to divide the Labor Ministry into two sections, one relating to pensions and another to social policy and housing.
He said the program ‘My home,’ focusing on loans for buying homes was “going very well and will be doubled,” while he also referred to other ongoing programs to help home owners change water boilers or add photovoltaics (solar panels) on their roofs.
The premier called on voters to show up for both rounds of elections, as the May 21 election is not expected to result in an independent government. He reiterated that he does not want a coalition government. “There is no chance I will accept a vote of confidence in Parlaiment that is not entirely based on New Democracy deputies,” he said, speaking of his party. In addition, he noted there will be 25,000 Greeks voting from abroad.
