Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced that the government will prioritize addressing the cost of living and is open to a pre-scheduled parliamentary discussion on institutional matters and the rule of law, following a request from the leader of PASOK.
In a recent address, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis indicated that the issue of cost of living will be a top priority for his government as they navigate current economic conditions. He expressed willingness to engage in a preliminary parliamentary discussion concerning institutional frameworks and the rule of law, responding favorably to PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis's proposal. This discussion is expected to address key governmental structures and their alignment with democratic principles in Greece.
Mitsotakis acknowledged the government’s commitment to maintain fiscal discipline while actively working to support the citizens facing economic challenges. He pointed out that the government’s prudent financial policies have allowed them to comply with budgetary constraints while still achieving surpluses that can support social programs. He highlighted recent important developments, including salary increases for workers that stem from recent tax reforms aimed at alleviating economic pressures on households.
The emphasis on the cost of living reflects broader economic concerns in Greece, as many citizens are grappling with rising prices amid a changing economic landscape. By prioritizing this issue, the Mitsotakis administration seeks to demonstrate its responsiveness to public sentiment, while also reinforcing the importance of sound fiscal management amidst ongoing discussions about governance and legal frameworks in the country.
