Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is chairing meetings of the Cabinet and the ruling New Democracy party to demand tangible work from ministers and signal official readiness for the spring 2027 elections.
The political schedule opens November with a Cabinet session at 11:00 a.m., followed by a meeting of New Democracy's Executive Secretariat at 5:30 p.m., both led by the Prime Minister. The back-to-back sessions mark the administration's entry into the final stretch of the current parliamentary term, with a focus on settling pending business and preparing for the national vote.
At the centre of the Cabinet agenda is planning for what the government describes as the last mile of its current term in office. In his opening remarks, Mitsotakis is expected to call for an immediate acceleration of government work and make clear to ministers that there is no room for complacency or political inertia.
The Prime Minister is expected to ask all Cabinet members for maximum seriousness, sustained effort, and tangible results that positively affect the daily lives of citizens. He is also expected to stress that the administration must answer public concerns through concrete reforms and projects while avoiding any trace of self-satisfaction.
Ministry priorities and the legislative roadmap
The primary item before the Cabinet is defining critical priorities for each ministry before the parliamentary term concludes. Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis and Minister of State Akis Skertsos will deliver introductory presentations outlining the framework for the months ahead.
Following their remarks, each minister will be asked to present three to four core objectives for their portfolio that must be completed without fail before the end of the current parliamentary term. The government aims to establish a clear, cohesive, and realistic roadmap that it views as the strongest forecast and guarantee for its future election result.
Cabinet meetings in Greece are held at the Maximos Mansion in central Athens, which serves as the official seat and office of the Prime Minister. Under the Greek Constitution, parliament is elected for a four-year term, meaning the government elected in June 2023 faces the end of its regular mandate in the spring of 2027.
Artificial intelligence, transport and judicial police bills
Alongside general policy planning, the Cabinet agenda features three major legislative initiatives and ministerial presentations covering employment, public transit, and law enforcement.
Minister of Labour and Social Security Niki Kerameus will present a new bill establishing rules for the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace and strengthening protections for workers on digital platforms. The legislation incorporates European Directive 2024/2831 into Greek law, giving employees greater protection over their personal data and how businesses process that information through workplace algorithms.
European Directive 2024/2831, known across the European Union as the Platform Work Directive, requires member states to adopt national rules regulating algorithmic management and data privacy in digital employment.
In the transport sector, Alternate Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Giorgos Kotsiras will present a report on tangible progress and future plans for urban public transport. The presentation focuses on improving quality of life in major urban centres by increasing route frequencies, cutting waiting times for passengers, and expanding the public transit fleet.
Minister of Justice Giorgos Floridis will also introduce a bill for the institutional transformation of the Judicial Police into an autonomous security force. Established under the Ministry of Justice, the Judicial Police assists courts and prosecutors with investigations and judicial support operations.
New Democracy Executive Secretariat and 2027 election campaign
Immediately after the Cabinet session concludes, Mitsotakis will travel to New Democracy's party headquarters on Piraeus Street in Athens. There, he will chair the first meeting of the party's new Executive Secretariat, rounding off a day of intense political mobilisation with a clear pre-election and reform-oriented focus.
Joining Mitsotakis on the Executive Secretariat are Kostis Hatzidakis, Adonis Georgiadis, Konstantinos Kyranakis, Maximos Charakopoulos, Ioannis Smyrlis, Orfeas Georgiou, Maria-Alexandra Kefala, Dimitrios Kairidis, Athanasios Papathanasis, Stavros Papasotiriou, Asimina Skondra, Panagiotis Palpanas, Christina Patrikakou, Georgios Tsakoumis, and Konstantinos Tsiangliotis.
During the afternoon meeting, the Prime Minister is expected to issue instructions placing New Democracy, Greece's governing centre-right party, in a state of readiness for the 2027 elections. Although at least six months remain before ballot boxes are set up, internal organisational work has already started.
Campaign tours across Greece are intensifying for both Mitsotakis and party teams that are already travelling around the country. Those regional tours are operating under the coordination of Kyranakis, Smyrlis, Kontadakis, and Nezis.
To close the session, the Secretary of New Democracy will present the schedule for upcoming tours and outline steps to involve the party's grassroots base in drafting the government programme. The presentation will also cover moves to renew the party apparatus and compile the candidate lists for the upcoming parliamentary elections.
