Dora Bakoyanni sharply criticizes Mitsotakis government and calls for alternatives

Former minister Dora Bakoyanni accused members of the Mitsotakis cabinet of arrogance and said Greece lacks a serious alternative government.

During appearances on two major Greek TV channels, former minister Dora Bakoyanni labeled one outlet ministers as arrogant and called for their immediate dismissal. She claimed that after eight years in power, the public is exhausted and that there is no serious alternative governing proposal on the table. Bakoyanni recalled her lifelong opposition to PASOK and the historic back-and-forth between New Democracy and PASOK.

She also referenced past personal tensions with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, including a 2015 leadership contest and a 2017 decision to exclude her from a future government. The comments have sparked debate about internal party dynamics and the prospects for opposition in Greece.

Why it matters

Bakoyanni's remarks highlight growing dissent within Greece's ruling party and raise questions about future political alternatives.
