Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the forthcoming elections he will be a candidate in the Western Sector of Athens, Evros and Thessaloniki. The West Sector is a solid choice for Mr Mitsotakis, who often cites his special connection to the region as he was elected Member of Parliament for the Second District of Athens until 2015, and in the previous elections in 2019 he chose to be a candidate for the West Sector. In recent years, the region has been considered one of the “castles” of SYRIZA, and this is another reason why Mr. Mitsotakis decided to strengthen the ND vote with his presence. The symbolism of Evros is evident due to the great importance given by the ruling party to the fight against migratory flows and the contribution of the critical law to it, as well as the development prospects opening up there, as well as the increasing geostrategic role of the region.
