The next visit of the Prime Minister to Washington is expected to take place in the first half of the new year, which will be his second visit to the capital of the United States of America. “I believe I will be able to visit the United States in the first half of 2022. President Biden is someone who knows our region very well and is very close to the Greek-American community,” Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in an interview with the Washington Post. , in a period of further flourishing in the relations between the two countries, as it was reflected through the Mutual Defense Cooperation Agreement.

At the moment when on the front of the fourth pandemic wave the government strategy is summarized in the phrase “not in a new lockdown, not in measures for the vaccinated”, Megaro Maximou has a stable compass “open economy and society”, highlighting, at the same time, its narrative strong, as it is characterized, growth.

“The growth rate for 2021 is estimated at 6.9% of GDP and for 2022 at 4.5%. Thus the cumulative growth of the years 2021-2022 will not only bring the domestic product to the pre-pandemic Kassandres are being refuted and will be refuted once again.At the same time, in the new year, a further reduction of unemployment is expected, while there is the commitment of Mr. Mitsotakis for a second increase, in 2022, of the minimum wage “, is the message that is transmitted.

The Prime Minister himself, in anticipation of the debate in Parliament on the budget that will end the political year we are going through, addresses a constant call to investors, while expressing his optimism for the course of the economy in the coming years. “My view is that the country needs to grow. The more the economy grows, the better our fiscal position will be. Greece will be able to produce a primary surplus by 2023,” he told the Washington Post.

All this, at a time when government officials are standing by the findings of the polls that came to light yesterday and highlight, as they comment, the superiority of New Democracy over SYRIZA. “The political scene in the country remains unchanged, with New Democracy firmly being the dominant political force and Kyriakos Mitsotakis being recognized by the people as the most suitable for the post of Prime Minister, with a significant advantage over Alexis Tsipras… Evidence shows that the allegations “SYRIZA’s cries against the government fall into a vacuum. They finally prove that SYRIZA has a political problem, which remains stagnant and finds it difficult to convince the citizens that it is worth their vote,” government officials note.
