KKE: The Prime Minister is deluding himself if he thinks the majority of the people agree to the constitutional revision

The Greek Communist Party (KKE) criticized Prime Minister Mitsotakis, stating he is mistaken if he believes that the majority of the population supports his proposed constitutional amendments.

The Greek Communist Party (KKE) has openly criticized Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, asserting that he is deluding himself if he believes that the majority of people agree with the planned constitutional amendments. According to KKE, these amendments aim to entrench deeply reactionary and anti-people reforms that do not have popular backing. They argue that Mitsotakis should seek consent from parties that share common strategies, likening this to recent legislative maneuvers regarding labor rights that were kept secret until close to implementation, hinting at collusion with conservative trade union leadership.

KKE specifically condemns the government's proposed reform related to the "National Diploma," suggesting it is a regressive move. They argue that only Mitsotakis and his ministry believe that this reform will add educational value to high schools, while the real issue lies in the quality of educational content. They point out that the value of education should be measured not by standardized testing alone but by the depth and breadth of the educational curriculum, which they claim remains degraded.

This strong critique reflects a broader discontent among left-wing parties in Greece regarding the government's reform agenda, which they perceive as serving elite interests rather than the public good. As the debate over constitutional revisions heats up, it is likely to catalyze further political conflict in the upcoming months, with implications for the stability of Mitsotakis's government and the response of opposition parties in upcoming elections.
