If the attacks stop – something that remains to be confirmed as we are talking about an area with many years of delivery of multiple conflicts – the impact on the Greek economy will be limited: this was pointed out by the Deputy Prime Minister Kostis Hatzidakis in an interview with regard to the Developments in the Middle East.
“There will be a relative normalization in oil. Where there could be a more important problem is in tourism, because we have hundreds of thousands of tourists from Israel every year, many of whom had canceled. We will see what happens in the coming days, if there is normalization and a sense of greater security, then the year that started very well, I hope it will continue, “he also said. In any case, he underlined, the market checks will continue with determination until there is normalization of the situation, as any increases in international prices are not interested in being immediately passed on to the pumps.
Expressing the position of the Greek Government, Mr. Hatzidakis emphasized that the demand in this area is peace. “From the beginning we had made it clear that it is not acceptable to have Iran nuclear weapons, but from the first moment we also clarified – and as a non -permanent member of the UN Security Council – that the answer is not the war but the restraint and finding peaceful and sustainable solution. There was a demonstration of power and modern war techniques from Israel, there was also US support with bombings in the fields where there were nuclear and reaction from Iran with victims in Israel and attacks in Qatar for which it was previously notified. It is obvious that the strong part is Israel, while Iran is in a more difficult position, “he added.
Asked about OPECEPE’s issue, The deputy prime minister stressed, speaking to the Open: “We will hide nothing, nor will we let suspicions be suspected, but we will have to read the case first and where there is a documented suspicion. But we will not go into witch hunt. There are already trials at national level for various savvy who appear to have received illegal subsidies and in all these cases we will exhaust the potential of justice. “
Mr. Chatzidakis He noted that this is not the first time fines have been imposed for this reason in the country, as the phenomenon has existed since the 1980s, and many financial corrections have been imposed for periods of governance by PASOK and SYRIZA. Nor is it a Greek “privilege” and is even a problem more acute in the Mediterranean countries, he added.
“At this time, investigations are being carried out by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office in 17 countries,” Mr Hatzidakis said. “This does not remove the importance of the problem, nor the need to be decisive. Interventions were made after 2019, for example, the subsidy was abolished for those who have grazing without animal capital, arrangements were made for a more effective organization of OPEKEPE, etc. But the issue was not addressed, the reaction had to be manifested earlier and in greater depth. That is why, by the decision of the Prime Minister, the absorption of OPEKEPE by AADE, “he added.
Finally, about the fires in Chios, the Vice President of the Government spoke of a strange situation, as we had many fronts in a few hours and continued: “I do not want to urge, but this is a fact. It goes without saying that there was a mobilization of the state mechanism from the first moment. “
