The political dilemma recently put forward by ND and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is an extreme communication error...
They claim that it is "Mitsotakis or chaos," and this creates negative reflexes in society, which has been disappointed by the mistakes, scandals, and corruption in the Greek Economy.
In communication terms, it is a 100% wrong gimmick for ND to entice voters... historically, whenever such political arguments are put forward... the ballot box result is a slap in the face.
In a society that has grown tired, that is fed up with the Mitsotakis governance, the political slogan "Mitsotakis or chaos" will cause even greater damage to the ruling party.
Let us be realistic: the slogan "Mitsotakis or chaos" proves desperation... there is no political narrative along the lines of "vote for us to bring growth, reduce inflation, and strengthen national production"...
After 7 years of governance, ND and Mitsotakis cannot invoke growth or measures against inflation because the economic indicators prove that they have failed.
The relentless indicators
The State Debt, together with the loans from the Support Mechanisms, bond issuances, and repos, which constitute intragovernmental borrowing at 400.5 billion, proves that Greece is not reducing its primary debt, but rather improving the debt-to-GDP ratio through growth.
The inability to reduce real debt in absolute figures is evident.
Greece posts an inflation rate of 5.7%, among the highest in Europe, while the purchasing power of Greeks remains close to that of Bulgaria based on official European data.
The Greek Government cannot convince anyone that it can bring better days...
Businesses were helped, and that is not wrong, but businesses do not diffuse profits into the economy; perhaps Greece is one of those cases of a country where business growth is not linked to social prosperity.
However, Greece continues to allow a parasitic shadow economy worth 40 billion to operate, and this allows the Greek citizen... to still endure.
Greece has not stood out anywhere in innovation, production, or new technology sectors; we remain an outdated economy with a low standard of living among the majority of Greeks.
The proof: 86% of deposit accounts in Greece have balances under 8,000 euros.
All of this is proof that corporate profits are not diffused and the shadow economy continues to operate at the expense of tax revenues.
ND has renounced its right-wing roots
In political terms, it can only be considered a failure that ND lost 25% of the electorate and that over 1.2 million right-wing voters do not consider ND the natural home of right-wing ideology.
The centrist orientation and the osmosis with PASOK are shrinking ND, and this will be 100% recorded in the May 2027 elections, where ND will fight for 25% and not the 38% required for self-reliance.
ND governs with 12%
But let us be realistic: today ND numbers approximately 1.2 million voters, which out of the total number of Greeks who vote means a percentage of roughly 12%.
12% of the Greek people are governing; this is obviously not called a representative democracy, but a banana republic.
