At the 2nd Pre-Congress of New Democracy held in Alexandroupoli, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis articulated a comprehensive strategy for security that he connected to the concepts of freedom and social welfare. He highlighted that Greece has entered a new period characterized by legality and citizen protection, signaling a move away from the ailments of the past. This reflects the government's commitment to ensuring a safe environment for all citizens.

Mitsotakis addressed the events that took place at the Evros border in 2020, describing the management of that situation as the initial step toward a broader shift in Europe’s migration policy. He emphasized that the hybrid attack faced by Greece was effectively countered due to the readiness of security forces and the support from local communities. This incident marks a crucial point in the country’s efforts to redefine its borders and security strategy.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to extending the border fence along the entire length of the Greek-Turkish border using national resources. He remarked that cooperation with Turkey in this area remains productive, indicating that despite challenges, dialogue and partnership in matters of border control and migration policy are ongoing priorities for both nations. This approach not only aims at enhancing national security but also seeks to promote regional stability in the face of migration pressures.
