In the Greek Parliament, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis faced an urgent question from Nikos Androulakis, the leader of the PASOK party, regarding the state of energy in Greece. Androulakis launched a scathing attack on the government's handling of energy issues, emphasizing the hardships faced by households as the energy market experiences instability and price fluctuations. He painted a stark picture of families adapting to escalating costs, stating many are forced to forgo basic comforts like heating to manage their budgets, particularly affecting those with middle to lower incomes.

During the session, Androulakis noted that while energy prices in Europe are decreasing, Greek consumers are still burdened with unchanged electricity tariffs, indicating a failure of the government to control the energy market effectively. He argued that the lack of a comprehensive energy policy exacerbates the struggles of ordinary citizens who rely heavily on affordable energy to maintain their standard of living. His comments reflect broader concerns about the administration's overall energy strategy, which he deems insufficient to address the pressing challenges faced by consumers.

Additionally, Androulakis criticized the government’s approach to transitioning away from lignite as a source of energy. He argued that the lack of a cohesive plan for this transition has led to confusion and shortfalls in energy supply, making it clear that the socio-economic implications of energy policy are not being adequately addressed. This dialogue highlights the ongoing political tensions in Greece as energy affordability remains a critical issue for many Greek families.
