One of the most notable achievements of the Mitsotakis government during its first term in office was the rapid digitisation of government services. Seen as a way of cutting down bureaucracy, saving citizens’ time and reducing tax evasion, it was conducted with great efficiency by the minister for Digital Governance Kyriakos Pierrakakis (now Education minister). As a result, according to the government website gov.gr, there are now 2069 digital services in 11 categories available to the citizen. While some of these no doubt function less efficiently than others, it is a remarkable achievement for a country which not so long ago was renowned for the slowness of its official procedures and its affection for red tape.
