Greek political and diplomatic preparations

Overview

The Greek government and the ruling New Democracy party are initiating preparations for several upcoming political milestones. In early August, the government began finalizing priorities for its 2027 Presidency of the Council of the European Union, focusing on areas such as the economy, defense, and maritime security. This period also coincides with Greece’s upcoming non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council in October 2025.

Simultaneously, New Democracy has commenced organizational efforts for the 2027 parliamentary elections. Initial steps include assembling candidate lists, such as the "blue" electoral slate for the Larissa constituency, and conducting large-scale geographical operations across Macedonia and Thrace. The party is currently evaluating over 250 individuals for potential candidacies and has established a core leadership team to support Kyriakos Mitsotakis in strategic planning and campaigning.
