Mitsotakis Sets Economic Agenda Amidst Europe's Far-Right Dilemma

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis presented his government's economic agenda for next year at the Thessaloniki International Fair, outlining a package worth €2.2 billion.

The plan aims to reduce unemployment, raise average salaries and minimum wages, and maintain economic growth through 2030.

Mitsotakis drew a clear line in the sand regarding the country's stance on far-right politics, echoing concerns across Europe following Germany's state election results, where the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party made history by winning a crucial state election.

The AfD's victory has raised questions about the potential for further far-right gains across the continent, which is facing challenges from the war in Ukraine to economic and inflationary pressures.
