If they are 26 to 30 years old, they volition summation €100 per month. Families with galore children payment with 2 salaries per parent. Specifically for ample families, the magnitude is generous.”

Measures for Pensioners
“If determination is simply a authorities that has fixed anticipation to pensioners, it is this one. With pensioners and the €250 support, we started the announcements connected Easter Tuesday, which was portion of a €1.1 cardinal package.

Now we are moving to further enactment them done the abolition of the idiosyncratic difference, caller pension increases, and done the simplification of taxation rates. Also, we are the authorities that has already granted 10% increases successful pensions.”

Closing Remarks connected Economic Measures

“I won’t archer you it’s enough. I volition archer you it is simply a archetypal step, immoderate the system tin carnivore and allow.”

Inflation
“We enactment households and their income arsenic a whole. Beyond that, the state’s monitoring mechanisms purpose to power prices wherever enforcement really works. This is simply a occupation faced by galore countries. We person strengthened the monitoring mechanisms, 1 aft another, and you spot the Independent Authority we are creating done the Ministry of Development. This is antithetic from creating a mendacious content among the nationalist that Western governments afloat power support prices.”

“In November, 80% of tenants volition spot a rent rebate. But we volition bash much to lick the large lodging occupation due to the fact that it is significant.”

VAT Reductions – The Dilemma
“You cannot marque a argumentation for everything each time. Otherwise, you extremity up doing nothing. Regarding VAT reduction, it was wide discussed. But the dilemma we faced was this: we heard, ‘Reduce VAT to code inflation.’ I archer you that, for the economical squad and for us, giving wealth straight to the radical is the champion signifier of indirect income support.”

Comments connected PASOK’s Doctrine “Money Exists”

“It is wide that PASOK has returned to the doctrine of ‘money exists,’ which is simply a shame for the country. The wealth we springiness is €1.76 billion. We springiness it straight to the radical to enactment disposable income. Any sensible idiosyncratic would bash the aforesaid if they had this opportunity.”

“The state needs seriousness. You cognize what statement I would similar to have? A statement with idiosyncratic from PASOK who would say, ‘I wouldn’t bash what you are doing, I would bash this instead.’”

Tackling Tax Evasion

“If determination is simply a authorities that has caught the largest information of taxation evasion truthful far, it is this one. And I deliberation this is objective. I person been Finance Minister for six months, attended my archetypal Eurogroup and ECOFIN, and heard congratulations for Greece having caught a important portion of taxation evasion.”

Challenges Cannot Be Solved by a Single Law

“We person reduced 83 taxes, but we volition not perpetrate contiguous to circumstantial choices erstwhile fiscal abstraction allows. We analyse everything, we are open-minded, due to the fact that problems remain. People request support. Bets indispensable beryllium won. Problems indispensable beryllium solved.

The important happening for america is to bash this effectively. You look dilemmas erstwhile resources are limited. There is nary infinity successful life, nary substance however overmuch immoderate privation it. Those who told the nationalist that infinity existed – you cognize who they were – caused problems. Unfortunately, 1 instrumentality cannot lick people’s problems. They are solved level by floor, twelvemonth by year. The occupation of this generation, to conclude, is not to walk the measure to the adjacent generation, arsenic each erstwhile ones did.”

On Andreas Loverdos Joining New Democracy

“People’s problems are not traditionally colored. I don’t judge overmuch successful aged governmental geography. People privation solutions. I americium blessed erstwhile idiosyncratic brings experience, joins, and contributes to a wider way of solutions wrong New Democracy. What I bash not admit is the narcissism of insignificant differences.

It is simply a intelligence phenomenon, but we spot it powerfully successful Greek politics. Daily disagreements successful parliament, and erstwhile cameras are off, agreements summation by astatine slightest 50%. This indispensable end. Political contention indispensable beryllium based connected existent facts.”

Politics arsenic a Condition of Perspective

“For me, authorities is not astir origin, it is astir perspective. And for the country, the aboriginal is astir perspective. The governmental strategy indispensable adhd and multiply, not subtract and divide. Anything other shrinks us.”
