Kyriakos Mitsotakis is trying to include the message of "change" in his pre-election rhetoric, while main opposition SYRIZA took the lead to move strategically with the slogan towards the May 21 ballot weeks ago. Alexis Tsipras keeps both the narrative of "political change" and the "Mitsotakis or change" dilemma in the foreground.

With the electoral dilemma "forwards or backwards", with the admission that the west of Thessaloniki has not always had "the necessary attention from the state" but also with the... mute but deep concern of the New Democracy party  about dangers from its right in areas of Macedonia, Kyriakos Mitsotakis was found in Western Thessaloniki.

Without having planned the evening keynote address to a party audience, with which he usually concludes his same-day tours, Kyriakos Mitsotakis is going to Thessaloniki today, having already revealed that he will be a candidate there as well. Otherwise, the visit to the western neighborhoods of Thessaloniki includes everything that was originally planned a month ago.
