PM Mitsotakis: The government does not make any concessions on issues of national security

Security is a prerequisite for development. The government does not make any concessions on issues of national security and if it fails to secure European funds it will complete the fence along the entire length of the Greek-Turkish border in Evros with national funds, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said during his speech to residents of Orestiada on Friday.

“I want to express my regret for the fact that today there are political forces in Greece that oppose this project and submit an amendment and resolutions to the European Parliament so that this technical barrier, the fence, is not financed by European funds,” said the prime minister.

At the same time, he recalled the Turkish hybrid attack against Greece at the Evros border three years earlier and emphasised that the government dealt with it successfully.

The prime minister expressed his belief that ruling New Democracy will be the big winner on the evening of May 21 and this is because, as he said, “there is no alternative government proposal.”

The dilemma of the elections, he stressed, is “stability and progress or adventures.”
