Greece’s conservative government has received a vote of confidence in parliament.
A total of 158 MPs voted in favour of the new administration led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, while 142 voted against during the roll call vote in the 300-member strong assembly, Xinhua news agency reported, citing Greek national broadcaster ERT.
Addressing the plenary session shortly before the vote, Mitsotakis said: “We are determined to continue on the path shown to us by citizens with a series of 10 national goals over a period of four years.”
He reiterated his belief that Greece would regain investment-grade status this year, after nearly 13 years in so-called “junk status”.
He said that the main priorities of the government include more development to remove social inequalities, higher wages and measures to tackle unemployment.
In addition, the government’s policy framework focuses on energy transition and reforming the healthcare and justice systems, Mitsotakis said.
