Government reshuffle and subsequent reform initiatives, citizens’ demands and interventions in the economic field, its democratic image New DemocracyTempi and the commercial ‘war’ of United States with Europe And not only, are the issues to which the Vice President of the Government responds to Kostis Hatzidakisin his interview with the newspaper “Realnews”.
Starting with recent changes to the government figure, the K. Chatzidakis He points out that “The prime minister, with this (the: the establishment of Vice -Presidents) and with other decisions he made in the context of the reshuffle, aims at even better coordination, as well as accelerating and promoting government work in critical areas for the country and the citizen. In this context, and in close cooperation with the relevant ministers in each ministry that belongs to my own area of responsibility, we will promote two or three targeted interventions that will have a substantial impact on both the economy and the daily lives of the citizens, “he announces and assures that” Acceleration of investment initiatives and projects, dealing with the weaknesses of the so -called “deep state” with a more typical example of OSE. In such initiatives I want to emphasize my new role. Not in words, but with work. Not with theories, but resulting. We build on what we have done and move on with even more dynamic gait. For a more powerful and safer Greece, a Greece that will not expel but give perspective to its children! “
In the next point of the interview he says that “It is true that in the second term of the New Democracy – Although, if you see our program, we keep our pre -election commitments and move forward – the narrative of progress was not imprinted with the same purity that existed in the first four years, when it was clearer in the world, etc.). But there is an important work in the second four years, “he opens, citing the main reforms, such as:” The adoption of the law on non -state universities. The results in the fight against tax evasion. Reforming initiatives to accelerate justice. A work that should obviously need to be communicated. Beyond that, the government still has a lot of work to emphasize a series of initiatives. “
After all, as he argues, “The majority of citizens do not just want fancy slogans. Much more they want seriousness, stability and higher speeds. This is what the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is advised. And that I think will be the stake of the next ballot box. Our vision is a Greece that will rise higher: with an even more powerful economy, better salaries and new jobs, better public services and, of course, a quality education, with strong institutions and a justice that will not crawl. A Greece that will move forward with steady steps forward! “
Subsequently, and in question of the objections, within the ruling party, the salaries of the uniforms, the Vice President responds as follows: “There is no doubt that those days were not a communicative time for the government. However, if we look at the issue cooler, we will find that at the end of the day all this will soon be forgotten and what will remain is that the government in the economy, in various ways, steadily raising Greece higher. This apparently also applies to the issue of salaries in the security forces and overall the government’s wage policy, which is proceeding with a plan, based on the capabilities of the economy and budget strengths. I want to make it clear that we are not in the era of “Give everything”, notes with emphasis and explains:
“Because we all experienced the impact of the policies of that time, and our weakest fellow citizens have felt more intense on their wealthy with the then -level of their standard of living. Primarily the employees and the pensioners. At the same time, however, if you look at the wider image, if we leave a communication problem that the government had or did not have for a few days, it is clear that, especially in the field of economy and the reinforcement of available income, essential steps are taking ahead. Interventions such as the increase in the minimum wage, the deprivation of wages in the State, the increase in pensions, the parallel increase and the average salary, along with the reduction of taxes and the creation of more than half a million new jobs, show that we do not apply fragmentary policies, but a plan to do so With pro-investment policies. And that, in the end, is the crucial and I believe that they are more interested in citizens: that is, not the impressions of the moment, but the consistency, the credibility, the progress in improving their standard of living! “
In the case of Tempi he notes that “In recent days, the downing of various myths that had developed on the tragedy of Tempi began and have come to light various efforts to conceal the truth from those who attempted to the back of the cheerful parents to take advantage of the issue. In this field I believe that the truth will be seen and it will also prove that the government has nothing to hide. “
While in relation to the image shown by the ND in the polls, the Vice President of the Government acknowledges that “It was preceded by a difficult two -month period. We are also just before the middle of the second term of the New Democracy and it is reasonable to have a reduced gathering of our voters. Even so, however, we see that in the polls the New Democracy remains far in front of all other party formations. I’m not saying obviously that the situation is easy. If we continue with even greater persistence on a political course with all the necessary changes that will respond to everyday citizens’ problems and raise Greece higher, as I described them, then yes, you will see a much more positive political landscape for the New Democracy. It is enough of course not to be afraid of action and political costs and of course we are not arrogant. Moving on, I believe that the conditions will be created to realize that the New Democracy, in today’s political scene, is the only political force that guarantees them security, growth and perspective. The only political force that Greece can really touch, without the risk of the progress of recent years! “.
In the matter of duties, finally, he stresses that “We are watching the developments carefully. The most important issue for the time being is the duties that were imposed a few days ago by the US. From the trade wars we all go out. Greece does not have such large exports to the US but we do not laugh, these developments will have some negative impact on European and global economy for at least one time. Greece cannot be an exception and this means that government and people must be very careful at this juncture. In any case, the Commission will handle the issue from the European point of view. So we will see how things are evolving -considering that in the recent past the US has sometimes changed strategy. As far as our country has been with the US developed bilateral relations for years, which have been further strengthened by our government. Both the military, as Greece is one of the most reliable US interlocutors in the SE Mediterranean and economics. For example, the fact that for the first time in decades of US giants invest in Greece: Pfizer, Cisco, Microsoft, Google, Amazon. But also Chevron and ExxonMobil in hydrocarbons. We will even seek these relationships even in the current environment to maintain them, and if we can strengthen them, always having the dimension of European unity as a priority, because a strong Europe means a stronger Greece! “ ends up.
