Mitsotakis calls for a strong mandate to negotiate better economic terms with Brussels

His government's first priority will be to create "many new good jobs and to support the middle class, destroyed by the current government through excessive taxation," New Democracy leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Friday, during a brief tour of northern Greece prior to Sunday's general elections.

The main opposition leader added, "If I have a responsibility, besides putting the country back on a prosperity track, it is to unite Greeks under a common vision and a common plan," which is to leave behind all years of the crisis and "take a leap into the future."

"We are each ready to take the fate of our country into our hands," Mitsotakis said, asking voters to give him their vote. A strong mandate, he said, will allow him to negotiate with Brussels for reduced primary surpluses, reduce taxes, and negotiate for the best possible Common Agricultural Policy for Greece.
