Why were the economic policies of Konstantinos Mitsotakis unpopular?

The economic policies of Konstantinos Mitsotakis, who served as prime minister of Greece from 1990 to 1993, were unpopular primarily due to their rigid nature and a specific focus on the privatization of the country's large state sector.12

His government was committed to a policy of economic liberalism and the reduction of state power, which faced significant resistance from much of the electorate. These reforms were introduced during a period when the country was grappling with formidable economic challenges, and the public opposition to his approach ultimately contributed to the New Democracy Party losing its parliamentary majority in 1993.21
