“I do not believe that citizens decide based only on a review. They look -and rightly so- mainly ahead. They demand that we constantly become better. However, the consistency that connects commitments with results that make citizens' lives a little better every day is what builds trust,” the prime minister states in his weekly post.
In detail:
Last week marked three years since the renewal of citizens' trust in 2023 and in a few days seven years since Greek women and Greek men entrusted us, for the first time in 2019, with the responsibility of governing the country. I try every day to honor this mandate.
I know that citizens' expectations and demands are high and that we do not always manage to meet them. However, since 2019 our homeland has recorded indisputable progress in many policy areas.
That is why today, instead of the established weekly review of the government's work, I chose to share with you how much our homeland has progressed from 2019 to today. In a measurable and documented way.
I do not believe that citizens decide based only on a review. They look -and rightly so- mainly ahead. They demand that we constantly become better. However, the consistency that connects commitments with results that make citizens' lives a little better every day is what builds trust.
This is what we want to be our greatest comparative advantage as well. We strive every day to be a government that proves in practice that it implements almost all of its commitments. Nine out of ten of our pre-election commitments from 2023 have already become reality or are on track for implementation. And this is the best indicator of credibility.
Within these seven years, Greece changed in many ways. From the economy and employment to the digital functioning of the state, health, education, and the strengthening of defense. I know well that not everything has been solved. There are still problems that test citizens' daily life, and on these we continue to work with the same persistence.
But faced with an opposition that chooses to deny every bit of progress and to flatten every collective achievement of the country, we choose comparison instead of conflict. Commitments that are turned into tangible results.
We are in the middle of a ten-year effort to change the country, with the horizon set on 2030, that is, the milestone of 200 years since the formation of the modern Greek state. An effort that is not measured by slogans, but by tangible results.
That is why today I am sharing with you the overall review of our work from 2019 to today. Not to dwell on yesterday, but because what we achieved together constitutes the basis for what we have a duty to change by 2030.
The homeland moves forward. With national self-confidence, with a plan and unity, with political stability that constitutes the fuel for bold reforms and fair changes. And we continue.
