“Only in Greek universities there was a debate, whether it is self -evident, when an illegal act is carried out to come automatically the police”
“A very important law that was passed in 2021 by the government must be updated on how to apply discipline, that is, suspensions and deletions of student status without going through difficult processes. So he will know, who does something similar to law, that once he is arrested, his student status will be suspended“, The government spokesman said Paul Marinakis For the phenomena of violence and delinquency in universities in an interview with Action24.
Mr Marinakis stressed that for the first time since the post -revolution there is no active occupation in a university area.

Mr Marinakis criticized the attitude of opposition parties, recalling that they had voted “present” or voting against critical laws.
“Only in the Greek universities there was a debate, whether it is self -evident, when an illegal act is carried out automatically the police, whether the Rector calls her or a citizen calls her. The law changed in ’19, until the Mitsotakis government, this was not self -evident, ”he said.
For domestic violence, he stressed the steps taken with the creation of specialized police offices, the use of the Panic Button and the help line.

Concerning the possibility of a new political dipole Mitsotakis – Konstantopoulou, he rejected the scenario, stressing that the ND is clearly preceded by efficiency and said, among other things, that the president of Freedom Failure represents authentic populism.
“The main message that polls emit is that the more effective the government is, the closer it will be to the next self -sufficiency. We managed and won 2 units within a relatively short time. We are closer to a goal that is far from time, but the issue is not two years, the issue is the policies. Citizens want a result, ”he said.
Mr Marinakis made it clear that the elections are still far away and the early discussion of collaborations is not meaningful.
“If there is a political force, at the moment in the country, which can claim a net mandate in two years that will be held, this is the New Democracy,” he said, noting that “we will ask for that time, self -reliance. We do not believe in partnerships. “
At the same time, he fired strong criticism of PASOK and Nikos Androulakis, referring to “alliance with parties of populism” and “choosing another course”.
For the measures to be announced at the TIF, the government spokesman said they would depend on the available fiscal space, which has not yet been determined.
Mr Marinakis made it clear that the government would not promise measures without first knowing how much money there is. Priority, he said, will be placed in the middle class, with an emphasis on taxation and not to provoke. He reiterated that there would be no tax increases, except for the special burden on the ENFIA banks to support housing policy.
He also added that all the uniforms They will see increases in July, and there have already been improvements in their salaries in recent months and that the announcements for the Armed Forces were made earlier due to the needs of military schools. He pledged that no one would be left behind: police, firefighters, ports, everyone would join support measures, with point but permanent interventions.
For them Greek -Turkish Relationships stressed that we support dialogue with Turkey, but without negotiating issues of sovereignty. The official announcement is expected for the next Mitsotakis-Erdogan meeting under the Supreme Cooperation Council. “Dialogue does not mean naivety or concessions,” he said.
