So, the prime minister has set the bar for the European elections at 33%, which is what ND garnered in the previous election process. The strategists at Maximos Mansion are on fire, crunching the polling data and crafting the party’s election strategy around it. Starting from a stable electoral base of 28%, the goal now is to target different voter groups dissatisfied with the government, seeking to regain lost votes by identifying key issues.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis will focus on addressing three key factors alienating voters and will emphasize the slogan “Steady towards Europe,” aligning the European agenda with the need for stability in order to continue reforms. The main goal is to secure at least 28%+5, with the party’s machinery in full swing to maximize ND’s vote share and maintain political equilibrium.
The focus is now on disaffected voters, particularly in the regions, who oppose progressive policies, such as the recent marriage equality law, turning to more conservative voices. The goal is to reconnect with conservative voters, presenting ND as the most authentic patriotic voice, highlighting its actions in areas like migration, foreign policy, and national defense. However, the party is also targeting progressive voters who feel unrepresented and could potentially sway the election outcome. Mitsotakis stresses the importance of voter turnout, urging Greeks to vote either in person or by mail before the deadline.
