Alexis Patelis, the chief economic adviser to Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, announced his resignation from his position via a social media post on Monday evening.
In the post on his Facebook page, Alexis Patelis did not disclose the reasons that led him to step down.
“Our country has immense potential, and under the leadership of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Greece is steadily moving towards a better future for all,” Patelis wrote, lauding the New Democracy government and expressing gratitude to the Prime Minister for the trust placed in him.
The announcement marks a notable departure from a key position within the Prime Minister’s administration, with further developments expected in the coming weeks.
“I want to thank everyone I had the privilege of working with, but above all, I express my deep appreciation for the trust shown to me by the Prime Minister and for the honor of contributing, within my abilities, to the collective governmental effort. While there is still progress to be made, economic growth is now more than double the European average, and the reforms implemented have resulted in lower unemployment, significant debt reduction, increased investments, and the restoration of credibility abroad.
Greece in 2025 is vastly different from 2019. Our country has immense potential, and under the leadership of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, it is steadily advancing towards a better future for all.”
