“These are favorable polls for the government and for ND. But, I repeat, just so I’m not inconsistent, I always look at polls more, especially in the phase we’re in now, because we’re now two and a half years before the election, I always look at them as a direction, as something that shows more of a trend and I’m less interested in whether it’s up a point, down half a point, s

Two days after the budget was passed in parliament, Kyriakos Mitsotakis has invited New Democracy MPs who are not members of the government to the Maximo Mansion for a “relaxed wine” ahead of the holidays.
