“There is a new package of money recovery from investments that have not been made. This money is returned to the Greek taxpayer, “the Minister of Development stressed Takis Theodorikakosspeaking today (30.8.2025) to Real FM 97.8. “Checks start with the 2004 Development Law and reach the 2016 Development Law. I want to be clear: we are not going to leave a case. Hundreds of millions of euros are returning to public funds and are heading for real serious investments that will offer many new jobs. “
For school supplies and his recent meeting with the Union of supermarkets, Mr. Theodorikakos emphasized that “it is a social demand not to increase prices, as it is something that concerns hundreds of thousands of families and our children. I have been committed to supermarket chains that have a serious market share, so do the other companies. Competition is the one that pushes prices down for the benefit of consumers. “
Referring to the prices, the Minister of Development noted: “I am in this ministry a year and in the food sector we have succeeded for having negative inflation for five months. I know people are having trouble, because prices have risen around 35%-40%over the last five years, but the same thing happened throughout the earth because of the pandemic of both wars that are unfortunately continuing. ” As he pointed out, “we are trying to turn the country’s productive model not only in tourism but also in industry and other economic activities in order to be a viable country.”
Mr Theodorikakos also referred to the creation of the new Independent Consumer Protection Authority, which – as he said – “will have 300 new auditors and powerful digital tools, so that the citizen knows that he is addressing a single point to find his right and to support the state”.
Referring to the issue of organic products, he noted that “extensive controls have been carried out on certification bodies and two companies have already been imposed a six -month suspension”.
For the Thessaloniki International Exhibition, the Minister of Development stressed that the prime minister “will also present reliable commitments to the middle class and the lower social strata this year, through extensive tax exemptions awaiting society”.
Finally commenting on political developments, Mr Theodorikakos said that the possibility of creating a new party by Alexis Tsipras “in itself is a defeat confession”, while answering a question about changing the electoral law, he noted: “There is no such thing. What the country needs is seriousness and unity, to all get the heavy veil of toxicity and division. “
