Greek New Democracy government criticized over neoliberal ideology

An analysis of the New Democracy government under Kyriakos Mitsotakis argues that the administration remains ideologically consistent in its adherence to neoliberalism, which does not prioritize social justice. The text suggests that neoliberal ideology views increasing wealth inequality as a non-issue, positing that wealth accumulation at the top serves as an incentive for investment that eventually benefits the broader society.

However, the critique asserts that this theory is flawed. It argues that the hyper-accumulation of wealth by a tiny minority often results in capital being parked in tax havens rather than being reinvested to meet social needs. This concentration of wealth is described as a source of disproportionate political power, citing examples like Elon Musk's ability to influence political discourse. The text concludes that while neoliberalism views humans as inherently selfish and competitive, the demand for a more just world remains a valid pursuit.
