Economou: Nobody can question the difference between Greece in 2019 and Greece in 2023

Government spokesperson Yiannis Economou began his briefing to the press on Thursday by saying: "It is an unquestionable fact, which all honest citizens, admit that no government in the post-dictatorship period has faced more external crises than the Mitsotakis government. From the invasions of migrants in Evros and the constant threats of a provocative Turkey, to the pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the energy and high prices crisis that emerged later. Nevertheless, the government met and in some cases exceeded the 'compact of truth' that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis signed in 2019 with the Greek people.
"Obviously there were mistakes and problems, delays and faults. We are aware there were cases where we did not have time to do certain things that needed to be done and some were not done as well as we intended. But all of the above should not cancel out the work done as a whole. Nobody can question the difference between the Greece in 2019 and Greece in 2023. In four years, Greece became and continues to become economically, geopolitically and militarily stronger. A country that improved the citizens' living conditions in many sectors," he said.
