Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis issued a New Year’s Eve message on Wednesday, first praising the people that will be obliged to work on the holiday, from doctors and nurses in hospitals and merchant seamen sailing the oceans around the world, to food-and-beverage workers, police and first responders and to armed forces personnel guarding the country’s borders.
“…2025 is delivering a world in turmoil and in search of new balances, with unprecedented geopolitical changes and major economic uncertainties, while 2026 is also dawning with multiple challenges. However, behind every difficulty, there may also be an opportunity. In recent years, we have faced many crises. This proves that, in an environment that is changing at a dizzying pace, adaptability has become a national necessity.
“In such a complex situation, our country is trying to cope with the new economic, social and environmental realities by strengthening its position…obviously, without delays or mistakes, but with results that have undoubtedly made it stronger. With its defense shielded, its economy growing, and its society more dynamic, it is constantly improving
its daily life.”
