Mitsotakis meets with Greece’s new main opposition leader Nikos Androulakis

·

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with new main opposition leader Nikos Androulakis on Wednesday, December 4, emphasising the importance of maintaining “open channels of communication” between the government and opposition.

Prior to their meeting, Mitsotakis expressed his pleasure in having the opportunity for a “sincere” discussion, noting that such exchanges are vital, especially in difficult times.

Androulakis, leader of the PASOK-Movement for Change party, raised the topic of Mitsotakis’ recent meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Mitsotakis described the conversation as “interesting” and said, “We expect developments” following the discussions.

In his remarks, Mitsotakis officially congratulated Androulakis on his new role and acknowledged that while opposition parties don’t always align with the government, it is crucial to engage in open, sincere dialogue for the country’s benefit.

Androulakis, in turn, highlighted the reunification of the Parthenon Marbles as a “national goal with powerful symbolism” for his party, adding that PASOK-KINAL is ready to assist in achieving it.

Drawing from his experience in the European Parliament, Androulakis stressed the importance of “consensus” and “sincere dialogue” in addressing national challenges, noting that his party has already submitted several proposals focused on social, economic and national issues.
