The Greek people grew tired of policies that encouraged anger and nationalism and realized these led nowhere, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in an interview aired on Sunday afternoon (Greek time), explaining both the failure of SYRIZA to win elections and of extreme-right Golden Dawn to enter parliament again, ANA reports.
Mitsotakis was asked by Zakaria to briefly outline his strategy for defeating ruling SYRIZA in the July 7 elections. “My strategy was very, very clear,” the Greek premier pointed out. “I was convinced that you can never beat the populists by playing their own game. And so my bet was that at some point the Greek people would crave for serious result-oriented policies, and this is what we delivered to the Greek people.”
