It will target specific social groups as well as specific areas New Democracy the next period in order to get closer to the desired goal, which is self-confidence in the next elections. As it turned out in TIF, Kyriakos Mitsotakis it will place the burden on three pillars: first, on the youth. The difference in the last election was big in his favor. SYRIZA and during these three years the gap may have closed, but it is this social group that remains a big “splinter”. Add to the equation the fact that the next election will “enter” 420,000 new voters who will be eligible to vote for the first time. Mr. Mitsotakis is already out TEF announced a strategic plan for social housing called “My Home”, which yesterday was specialized and includes 7 meters. The ultimate goal of N.D. to reconnect with the 18-35 year old audience, which, as predicted, is the most “difficult”.

The second category is traditional voters with an emphasis on pensioners, who in a very large percentage New Democracy as well as PASOK. The increase in state pensions has already been discounted because it is legislated, but the prime minister has set the bar above 6% and he said 1,500,000 pensioners will see the increase without any personal difference. This number is by no means negligible in electoral terms and, together with young people who have found themselves in the spotlight, reaches almost 2 million citizens. For anyone to understand how big the number is, it is worth noting that in the 2019 elections, ND won with 2,251,000 votes. This number will increase even more if we include the reform of the payroll of 600,000 civil servants, with a focus on low-paid and responsible positions.

The third “category” is not social, but thematic and affects the entire Greek society horizontally. We are talking about the release of citizens from the direct or indirect consequences of the energy crisis for a total of 5.5 billion euros. The package includes, among other things, an increase of up to 300 million euros in the heating allowance, support of 250 euros for the most vulnerable segments of the population, the abolition of solidarity collection, as well as an increase in the minimum wage from 1 May. , 2023.

The housing measures announced yesterday also have an electoral focus, as N.D. wants to close the gap with SYRIZA among young voters.

Macedonia, Crete, Attica

Geographically, the government and personally Kyriakos Mitsotakis will begin trips outside of Attica, which will take place monthly until the elections. The main regions in which N.D. the base is Macedonia, Crete, as well as prefectures of particular importance, such as Achaia.

Macedonia is of great importance because as a region it has “special” characteristics compared to Southern Greece, such as a higher percentage of Russophiles, which is also expressed through the Velopoulos party, while it is a conservative region, which N.D. traditionally has high interest rates. Special attention will also be given to Crete, where they are already looking for people to strengthen the ballots. The goal on the Greek island is to sideline PASOK, which, due to tradition and location of Nikos Androulakis, is expected to have high interest rates. Ahaya is a similar case. Finally, much attention will be paid to the most popular areas of Attica, where N.D. she needs to increase his rates. Recall that in the elections of 2019, ND in Western Attica, she took second place, gaining 29.7% against 38.6% for SYRIZA. The difference to be collected.
