“The government will face the situation with determination, respecting the international and European rules for immigration but also without any willingness to become our homeland.”
This was pointed out by the Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis in an interview with ERT tonight, recalling that the current government was also in 2019 when the issue in Mytilene and in 2020 in Evros with the guided illegal immigration. “Since then, the situation in the eastern Aegean islands is completely controlled and this has been done because of the determination of the government. It is not in particular in the middle of the tourist season to discount this issue. “
He pointed out that the action would be developed on three levels: contacts with the two governments in Libya, management management at sea and also management on Greek soil.
Regarding the decision of the government based in Benghazi to describe the members of the European delegation for migration, under the Migration and Internal Affairs Commissioner, Magnian Brunner, Mr. Hatzidakis, referred to the chaotic situation as two forms that two forms. “I don’t think it was a positive attitude. The European Union is trying to find a solution in this extremely strange situation, as it has attempted with other neighbors in the south and east, in a complex issue such as immigration. Libya must understand that it cannot ignore the European Union factor. It should also be clear that the way for Libya’s financial support also passes through Athens, ”Mr Hatzidakis clarified.
The Deputy Prime Minister also underlined:
-For the subject of OPECEPE: The procedures have begun for the Financial Police in cooperation with the AADE to cross and return the unnecessary paid, starting with those who received great subsidies. The government’s willingness is to take steps forward, as they did with digital governance, the modernization of PPC, EFKA, with tax evasion.
-For the elections: We have no reason to go earlier than 2027. We have an absolute majority in the House, we have been elected for four years and have an obligation to take advantage of the fact that there is political stability to make the necessary changes and to make the daily life of the Greeks better. Our citizens judge strictly, they want more in economics, education, health, foreign policy, defense.
-To reach 10 years from the referendum.“The New Democracy voted without any condition, despite the fact that there were different voices within the party. And we did it because the alternative unfortunately was the dismissal of Greece from the eurozone. I have told Mr Meimarakis that the biggest time for himself and a very important moment for the New Democracy was exactly that. That we did not ask for rewards and put our homeland above all. SYRIZA was confronted with his false promises and we – rightly – did not become a SYRIZA number two but we helped stay home. “
-To change the economic model: We do not need to blame tourism, shipping and real estate. They are our national advantages and give jobs to hundreds of thousands of Greeks. However, obviously we should not stand there. There are areas that are developing such as logistics and the pharmaceutical industry. We have additional mobility in the field of innovation for which we have the most promoted institutional framework throughout the European Union, we have funding from the EAETE and soon a new fund fund, as well as leading scientists in the field of artificial intelligence. So we have the ability to participate dynamically.
-For economic policy: Fiscal policy will continue with seriousness and will be firmly combined with social policy. We do not give social the monopoly of social sensitivity to anyone. What we can only achieve as it seemed is fiscal balance and neat management that are combined with growth.
