“There was indeed a clear intervention by the Turkish Consulate in Rhodope in favor of a particular candidate. And that's a problem.” Mitsotakis said, "Because it is a partner in the interference of another state in the internal affairs of Greece, it is an issue that should primarily concern the party that elected it." He accused SYRIZA with his words.

In a statement published in Proto Thema, the NDP leader said, “Greek Muslims should feel that they have equal opportunities with their Christian compatriots and we are doing everything necessary for this.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis is expected to visit Komotini on Tuesday, June 20, as part of the election work. Rhodope province attracted attention as the only province in Greece where SYRIZA was the first party.
