Steering clear of political gambles

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is undeniably correct about one crucial aspect in his recent statements: Greece cannot afford to indulge in political experimentation. It cannot risk a casual approach to voting, a tendency often witnessed in European Parliament elections.

If citizens feel disenchanted by the government's string of failures - be it in combating inflation, the parliamentary inquiry into the Tempe railway disaster, or the overall functioning of the state - they ought to voice their discontent. However, they must exercise their voting rights with a sense of responsibility, fully cognizant of the message they wish to convey. They should refrain from casting their votes in the same casual manner often seen in European elections, supporting any demagogue who flatters them and promises unattainable goals such as increasing all pensions to 3,000 euros.
