An analysis focuses on the language used by Kyriakos Mitsotakis during his speech at the Thessaloniki International Fair (ΔΕΘ) in 2026. The speech marks a shift in rhetoric, moving from previous themes of a “deep state” and “misleaders of the people” towards emphasizing “a steady hand at the helm.” This change is interpreted as a deliberate effort to construct a pre-election narrative centered around stability for New Democracy. The analysis explores how Mitsotakis’ words at the ΔΕΘ are strategically employed to shape public perception. It suggests the speech is a key component of the party’s broader campaign strategy. The focus on stability aims to reassure voters and position New Democracy as the reliable choice for governing Greece. Ultimately, the ΔΕΘ address is viewed as a foundational element in solidifying the party’s message ahead of elections.
