Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis announced that Greece's next increase in the minimum wage will be unveiled before Easter, specifically in early April. During an interview on SKAI, he highlighted that recent salary and pension increases, attributed to reductions in income tax, have already had a positive impact on the pockets of employees and retirees. He emphasized that the government is maximizing budget capabilities to support financial improvements for citizens.

Hatzidakis also contrasted the current government's approach with that of the opposition, asserting that there are no "magical recipes" for boosting incomes. Instead, the New Democracy Party is pursuing growth-oriented policies that support healthy business environments, tax reductions, and feasible increases in wages and pensions, focusing on practical solutions rather than lofty promises.

Additionally, on the matter of financial support from the European Union, Hatzidakis responded to concerns regarding the end of the Recovery Fund and the potential decrease in EU funding. He reassured that there will be support from the EU despite forthcoming changes, indicating the government's commitment to maintaining economic stability and support for its citizens even as funding dynamics evolve.
