The party emphasised that Mitsotakis, speaking in his official capacity as Greece’s prime minister, declared that “now is not the time to comment on the legality of the recent US actions” and immediately proceeded to endorse a “swift transition to a new government” in Venezuela. MeRA25 argues that this amounts to tacit approval and retrospective legitimisation of an operation that violates the UN Charter and international law.

According to MeRA25, this stance is consistent with Mitsotakis’ broader approach to foreign policy, citing his recent appearance alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by international courts for war crimes. The party says the prime minister “ratified Greece’s alliance with a genocidal state” and is now openly abandoning the country’s long-standing reliance on international law.

MeRA25 warns that such statements are not only morally indefensible but strategically dangerous for Greece: by signalling that international legality is optional, the government weakens Greece’s own position on issues such as Cyprus and sovereignty disputes in the Aegean.

“It is now certain that champagne is being opened in Turkey,” the statement reads, arguing that Mitsotakis has “de facto renounced the defence of international law and all rights derived from it.”

The party concludes that the current government is “not only immoral but dangerous for the country and its future” and calls for political action to remove it from office.
