(ANSA-AFP) - ATHENS, JUN 26 - Kyriakos Mitsotakis embarked
Monday on his second term as Greece's prime minister with a vow
to accelerate institutional and economic reforms, after voters
handed him a huge election victory for the second time in five
weeks. Crediting Mitsotakis and his New Democracy party for
bringing economic stability to the erstwhile EU debt laggard,
voters gave the conservatives their widest winning margin in
almost 50 years on Sunday. Hailing the "strong mandate",
Mitsotakis said that "major reforms will proceed rapidly",
adding that he had "ambitious" targets for his next four years
in power that could "transform" Greece. Among his pledges is
pouring money into Greece's public health system -- which was
stretched to its limits by the Covid-19 pandemic -- and
improving railway safety after the deaths of 57 people in a
February train collision that was Greece's worst rail disaster.
The 55-year-old former McKinsey consultant and Harvard graduate
said Sunday that he "constantly strove to improve and learn from
my mistakes". (ANSA-AFP).
