A record 323,136 net new jobs were created in the first seven months of 2026, while unemployment fell to 7.9% from 17.9% in 2019 — shifting Greece’s labour-policy challenge from simply creating jobs to delivering better-paid, more productive and fully declared employment.

Mitsotakis, Sisi and Christodoulides coordinate as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan build a new collective-defence framework — but Athens is resisting the logic of rival blocs, betting instead on Egypt, the Gulf, energy connectivity and GREGY to position Greece as a bridge between Europe and the wider Middle East.

Alexis Tsipras is seeking to put redistribution back at the center of the political debate with a levy on the net wealth of Greece’s richest 1%.

The next major stress test in Greek-Turkish relations is shifting from rhetoric to the field.
