Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis is gathering proposals from ministers and MPs as part of efforts to coordinate the drafting of New Democracy’s programme for the next four years, following consultation with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
According to government sources, in two separate letters, the Deputy Prime Minister is seeking input from members of the government and the parliamentary group to help shape the new programme.
The deadline for submitting proposals is about one month from the date the letters are sent.
Ministers are being asked to submit proposals for their areas of responsibility, with the explicit proviso that these should reflect the views of the entire political leadership of each ministry.
The same sources say MPs are being asked to submit proposals on the government programme as a whole, with no restriction to a specific policy area.
This will allow them to contribute both their parliamentary experience and issues and needs that emerge through their contact with local communities.
