Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will travel to the central Greek city of Larissa on Saturday to engage in a public dialogue with citizens, a move aimed at consolidating support in the politically sensitive Thessaly region ahead of New Democracy’s upcoming party congress.
Mr. Mitsotakis is scheduled to lead a panel at the Grecotel Larissa Imperial as part of a pre-congress event titled “Strong Economy, Strong Greece.”
The visit serves as the third stop in a nationwide tour following similar consultations in Ioannina and Alexandroupoli.
The prime minister’s focus on Larissa comes at a critical time for the region, which is still grappling with the long-term infrastructure and agricultural damage caused by Storm Daniel.
Mr. Mitsotakis is expected to address these local recovery efforts alongside broader national issues, including the economic impact of the escalating Middle East conflict on Greek trade.
The pre-congress tour is designed to set the agenda for the 16th Regular Congress of New Democracy, scheduled for May 15–17 in Athens.
While in the region, Mr. Mitsotakis may also visit the Fighter Wing in Larissa to review defense readiness.
By engaging directly with farmers and small business owners, Mr. Mitsotakis aims to reinforce the government’s commitment to political stability through 2027, despite a turbulent international landscape.
