Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in a Facebook post on Sunday, opened his weekly review of the government’s work with a focus on constitutional reform. He said he had launched a dialogue aimed at creating institutions that are more modern, transparent and resilient to the challenges of the 21st century. The Greek Premier outlined the key proposals, including enshrining fiscal stability in the Constitution, changes to the law on ministerial responsibility, the establishment of non-state universities, judicial participation in the selection of the leadership of the judiciary, and evaluation mechanisms in the public sector. He added that the final proposal would be presented in March, with the aim of achieving broader political consensus.

Mitsotakis also stressed that dialogue on the National Baccalaureate would open in February, with the goal of creating a secondary education system with greater autonomy. He stressed that the changes would not affect current high school or junior high school students and that the Panhellenic examinations would not be abolished. He also announced that a 18.6 million euros contract had been signed for the renovation of the Athens Student Residence, including a full energy and functional upgrade.
He said that Greece’s first public Vocational Training Academy in the medical field is being established in Tripoli, offering free tuition and high graduate absorption. Mitsotakis stressed that patients with serious chronic illnesses can now obtain high-cost medicines from the pharmacy of their choice across the country.

He also pointed to positive developments in the labour market, including a decline in youth unemployment, an increase in female employment, and overall unemployment falling below the European average. In addition, he said the relocation programme is being expanded to the regions, with a 10,000 euros subsidy and an increase in the number of beneficiaries.

The Prime Minister also referred to efforts to strengthen infrastructure and border security, including tougher measures against trafficking networks and increased support for the Coast Guard. He concluded by highlighting investments in innovation and culture, including “green” initiatives on Halki, the Hellenic Heritage digital portal, and a renewed emphasis on accessibility, linked to World Greek Language Day.
