Takeaways from New Democracy’s victory in Greece

Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the leader of the conservative New Democracy party who has presided over a period of economic stability and stringent anti-migration policies in Greece, was sworn in yesterday for a second term as prime minister after a landslide victory that gave him a clear mandate for the next four years.

Here are some of the lessons from the results:

Tough migration policies are good politics. Voters appeared to reward Mitsotakis for his hard-line approach to migrants and for the significant reduction of arrivals in the country since the height of the migrant crisis in 2015. Spying isn’t a deal breaker. It was revealed last August that Greece’s state intelligence service had been monitoring a prominent opposition leader. Analysts anticipated political fallout, but Greek voters mostly shrugged. It’s the economy. After a decade-long financial crisis that erupted in 2010, Mitsotakis persuaded Greeks that the country had made enormous strides under his watch and that he deserved another four years to finish the job. (He had some good data to point to.) The right wing rises in southern Europe. Conservatives are making significant inroads in Italy, Spain and now in Greece.
