The latest statements from Adonis Georgiadis sent shockwaves through the political scene. In a candid interview, the New Democracy vice president made it clear where his loyalty lies: with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Although he refused to comment directly on former PM Antonis Samaras, Georgiadis’s words left no doubt about his stance. He praised Mitsotakis for uniting the party, stating that the prime minister’s ability to bring together figures from all corners of the political spectrum—from PASOK to LAOS—has been the foundation of his dominance. The message was clear: Samaras belongs to the past, Mitsotakis holds the reins today.
Georgiadis also addressed the idea of new political parties emerging, with a hint of irony. “Starting a party is easy. Keeping it alive is impossible. At first everyone applauds, then the fights begin. Parties are not that simple,” he said. His warning was aimed at those who might think there’s space to the right of Mitsotakis. “The prime minister wins at the ballot box—not in theory, but in practice.”
Turning to geopolitics, Georgiadis lauded the government’s recent energy agreements as “historic.” He emphasized Greece’s new role as a key gateway for American LNG imports, involving major players like Chevron and ExxonMobil. “If the Americans are investing here, it means Greece gains a geopolitical shield,” he said. This, according to Georgiadis, is the result of seven years of meticulous planning by Mitsotakis.
By steering clear of attacking Samaras, Georgiadis showcased political maturity. He neither broke with the past nor stepped back; instead, he fully aligned with Mitsotakis’s line of low-key unity. Behind the scenes, the message could not have been clearer: Mitsotakis is winning, Adonis is firmly in his corner, and Samaras is left watching from the sidelines.
Closing the discussion, Georgiadis painted Mitsotakis as a “historical leader” whose long-term foreign policy vision—from Saudi Arabia to the UAE and the United States—is finally bearing fruit. “Seven years of work have brought this moment,” he concluded.
The interview felt less like a standard political conversation and more like a declaration of allegiance: a bold, unmistakable signal that in today’s Greek politics, the advantage—and momentum—lies with Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
