Greece has come a long way since it stood on the brink of bankruptcy a decade ago. After years of painful austerity measures, tax hikes, pension cuts, and huge bailout checks, its post-pandemic economy is now outpacing the eurozone average. And despite a spying scandal, rising inflation and a tragic train crash that killed 57 people, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ center-right party tapped into underlying optimism, especially among young voters, to win a convincing victory on Sunday. He joins Christiane for his first interview after his party’s election win. 

Also on today's show: Rachel Reeves, UK Labour Party’s Shadow Chancellor of Exchequer; Rich Lowry, Editor-In-Chief, National Review
