THE Kostis Hatzidakis In an interview with ANT1 Among other things, he stressed that the government’s growth and reform initiatives benefit 2.5 million Greeks. The Deputy Prime Minister said that in the budget of 2024 we have had the best fiscal performance at least since 1995, since there is comparable information in the Eurostat.

“The combination of these factors (growth, tax evasion and digital work card) has allowed us to have this financial performance. So we came and gave a social dividend based on the development and the government’s reform initiatives. And they benefit about 2.5 million Greeks in one way or another by these measures. Therefore, the results of the government’s work appear. And I am glad that my personal effort and my partners for two years at the Treasury has led to these results, “he said. Chatzidakis.
At the same time, he said that the results of the government’s work are shown. “I know there are many who say that ‘we don’t give our angel water.’ A simplistic regimen has been adopted where all good people have gathered against us. We are the “stingy”, in this view, that we do not want to share money. But what really happens is that with us steady steps are taking place. We have a neat policy, we combine fiscal prudence with a pro -investment approach and with measures to modernize the economy. Because all this is implemented, this progress translates into growth and growth translates into social measures, ”he said.
