He further stated that the report’s findings, combined with the official data reflecting what he described as Greece’s positive trajectory on the rule of law, represent “the best answer to the baseless accusations of opposition propaganda — and, above all, the most emphatic rebuttal of all those who persist in tarnishing our country’s image with false slogans.”
Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ full post
This year’s European Commission Report on the Rule of Law confirms Greece’s steady progress in this area, noting improvement across 4 recommendations compared to 7 in 2020. Greece now ranks among just 13 of the EU’s 27 member states recording positive developments across all chapters.
The official data reflects our country’s positive trajectory in recent years. But it also represents the best answer to the baseless accusations of opposition propaganda — and, above all, the most emphatic rebuttal of all those who persist in tarnishing our country’s image with false slogans.
The effort clearly continues. That is why Greece’s Agenda 2030 prioritizes the institutional reform of the state, with Constitutional Revision as a pivotal milestone. Our proposal further strengthens the independence of the judiciary, the modernization of the public sector, and the comprehensive protection of citizens’ rights.
The time for reform — for collective progress — is now. Leaving behind the rigid mindsets of yesterday and rising to meet the challenges of tomorrow. This is a bet we must win, backed by the trust of society. Because a strong and just democracy is the foundation of a strong Greece.
