Maria Karystianou has voiced her strong disapproval of the recent meeting between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. She argues that given the current geopolitical climate, particularly with Turkey issuing a lasting NAVTEX without Greece responding with an ANTINAVTEX, such a meeting only heightens fears and insecurity. Karystianou suggests that the aggressive stance of Turkey, coupled with their statements about not leaving the negotiation table until a resolution is found, indicates that the circumstances were not suitable for this diplomatic engagement.

Moreover, Karystianou mentions her involvement in a new political initiative she is helping to establish, emphasizing that it does not conform to traditional ideological categories. She states, "I have been labeled as both far-left and far-right, exactly because what we are trying to do transcends labels. We are discussing a new ideology that prioritizes human-centric policies." This suggests a desire for political reform in Greece, emphasizing a departure from existing political divisions.

The planned name of this new political party remains undecided, signifying the early stages of this initiative. Karystianou’s critiques reflect broader concerns within Greek society regarding the country's foreign relations and internal political dynamics, as the public remains divided on how to approach issues with Turkey and the direction of Greek politics.
