Mitsotakis sets the agenda in Thessaloniki as SYRIZA descends into further turmoil

This weekend Prime Minister Mitsotakis delivered his keynote address at the Thessaloniki International Fair. While he made it clear he was not showing up with a bag of gifts, he did announce a number of programs with a 2027 horizon, and put the issue of tackling issues related to over-tourism on the table as well.

Nick Malkoutzis, the co-founder of Macropolis.gr, joins Thanos Davelis with the key takeaways from Mitsotakis’ speech in Thessaloniki and the turmoil in SYRIZA.
