Mitsotakis delivered his speech on September 5 at the Ioannis Vellidis Conference Centre. He opened the Thessaloniki International Fair for the eighth time as head of government.

Mitsotakis said that his government had achieved stabilisation and progress in the economy after a prolonged period of fiscal crisis. At the same time, he acknowledged that problems remain that need to be corrected. According to him, the next step should be to extend the positive results to all households.
Criticism of the package
The prime minister presented the economic programme in the context of these statements. Critics of the government package believe that the proposed measures do not address the root causes of Greece’s economic difficulties. The publication also notes that Mitsotakis’s speech was likely aimed at the parliamentary elections in spring 2027.
