Our government’s policy is always the share of the good economy of the economy to return to society, the prime minister stressed
“In my contacts with both foreign leaders and investors, but also in the speech I had the opportunity to do, I think that We broadcast the message of strong Greece. Indeed, our country is no longer a state that is seeking support, but that provides it. And if it once was a financial risk, today is an example of progress, which I think is worth pointing out, as opposed to With the real “amok” misinformation I met returning to Athens, because even my photo with President Trump I read that it was false when it was officially published by the White House protocol. And all this when very serious developments are happening, such as the prospect of peace in Gaza. I would like to express my satisfaction with yesterday’s announcements that were made to the White House and express my wish that this plan, which seems to be well -processed, will be accepted by Hamas, so that we can proceed with the immediate release of all the hostages, in the immediate downturn in Gaza Strip Government. And of course, always keeping alive – and this is the official time of Greek foreign policy – the prospect of creating two states in the region, which will be the only way to finally solve this crisis, which has been holding for many decades now and obviously influenced our homeland, as we are in our homeland. Kyriakos Mitsotakis in its introductory position on the cabinet.
“So, referring to ours again, I would say that this battle for the truth is becoming a front that runs through all the fields of the news: From the case of Tempi or OPEKEPE, from the fake news that we are constantly seeing, to the health sector, to unfortunately in national foreign and defense policy. That is why our own answers should be direct and documented everywhere. After all, now as ever, realism becomes a factor in stability and normalcy, “he added.
Subsequently, referring to the issues that will be discussed at the Council of Ministers, he spoke about the tax reform announced to the TIF and emphasized the benefit of citizens by saying “I remind you that more than four million Greek employees, pensioners, professionals, farmers, The same will happen in addition to 150,000 uniforms through their new payroll.
I want to focus especially on the intervention we make for the younger generation, a truly pioneering intervention: No young person up to 25 years old with income under 20,000 euros will pay income tax, while for young people between 25 and 30 the tax rate is reduced from 22% to 9%.
I would insist, from talking to general abstract markers, always focusing on these examples, which are really very impressive if you look at them. A young seller, for example, with a net monthly fee of 980 euros will earn an additional 1,072 euros a year: more than one salary.
A 25 -year -old employee with a salary of 1,260 euros and with a child will benefit 1,429 euros. Get a large one, a management executive with a salary of 2,000 euros, four children, will earn more than 2,300 euros a year.
And, of course, hundreds of thousands of pensioners are exempt from the “bold” of personal difference within two years. Small owners will see benefit, as the tax burden on rents will be reduced by the import of a new tax scale, 25%. “
“ENFIA, as we have said, will be reset in 12,720 villages and towns throughout the Greek territory within two years. VAT will be reduced to dozens of remote islands. All this will now be presented to the Council of Ministers today, and officially, within the next few weeks of the state.
It is, as we have said, an intervention that, together with permanent increases in wages and pensions, form an important “embankment” in the wave of precision. At the same time, however, they also state the conscious choice of the government to support the new generation, the family and the Greek region, not with extraordinary benefits but with steady, permanent measures that will apply after the rise of any ratings, “he added, stressing that the policy of the government is always in the government.
“But these choices are the result of bold reforms that have taken place in recent years, with the most important being the intervention we have made over time to limit tax evasion. And I would like to emphasize that this is something that is recognized in all meetings with international investors in all meetings with international investors, and separates us from the vast majority of European countries, many of them strong countries, which are currently in a state of fiscal imbalance. This is not the case in Greece and our government will never allow it to ever happen again, ”the prime minister said.
He then referred to the values of electricity, which, he said, seems to be next month, we hope that they will be stable and possibly decreasing.
“If I had to make a comprehensive reference to energy prices, after a period of very intense fluctuations, where I want to remind you that the Greek state budget supported households against the extreme outbreaks of energy prices, it seems that we are fixed by one of the regularities and we need to return to the regular Consumers, for households, for businesses. Especially for energy -efficient businesses I think we will soon be able to make some more specific announcements, ”he said.
On the issue of recruitment to be approved by the minister, the prime minister said: “The efforts to improve daily life are complemented by the recruitment, almost 20,000, which we will approve for 2026. I would like to express my satisfaction -and the minister will say so, so we have the minister -so we do so. We have more doctors, NHS nurses, new firefighters, executives who will join the Armed Forces, the Security Forces. We will be presented by the relevant Ministers the planning. It is just worth seeing the big picture: In the last six years we have added 140,000 permanent civil servants, with half of these positions to meet health and education needs. These numbers reflect, first and foremost, our social priorities, much more so when we have also launched a framework for additional fees, productivity bonuses for civil servants, to those who achieve the goals of their services. We will increase, we will double the budget for 2026, we will increase the beneficiaries of the productivity bonus significantly. And of course, for the first time in the circle of these remuneration, the officials of Municipalities and Regions are included, and will certainly have contributed to the achievement of the goals that have been set and of course directly and with their personal evaluation. “
In addition, he referred to the Ministry of Defense’s initiatives for the salary upgrading and restructuring of the Armed Forces, for the qualitative rebuilding of military schools and the term of office.
“They are significant, they are bold changes, and some reactions may cause, but I think they are moving in the right direction. They are changes that rebuild our defensive function at the level of live material, to improve working conditions, which make the conditions for postponement, exemptions and transfers stricter, by removing many old distortions. And of course, our goal is for our recruits to receive real education, the term of office instead of a waste of time. We will not talk about important initiatives in the field of equipment today. I will only mention that on Thursday, if I am not mistaken, we will discuss in the House the supply of the fourth frigate Belharra, coupled with the modernization of the previous three. We are in discussions, as you have been informed, and with Italy about the possible acquisition of 2+2 more frigates – which are in extremely good shape – from our neighbors, ”he said.
“All this, I think, constitute the best practical answer that the government’s priority is the essential, qualitative upgrading of the Armed Forces in all fields. This is something that is now presumed by all the facts and something that I think is worth highlighting us all, in spite of those who want to present a different picture of how powerful our homeland is really, ”he added.
On the bill of the Ministry of Migration on Legal Migration, the prime minister said: “I would say it is the other side of our strict policy on illegal entrances to the country. We are simplifying many procedures for receiving workers from other states, in areas such as agricultural production and technology, establishing new tools such as Tech Visa, so that we can attract workers to our country who will choose to work from our country.
In any case, as we have said many times, the other side of a very strict policy on illegal immigration is to determine ourselves, in our own terms, who will enter and work legally in our country. And I think this is serving the bill that we will discuss today. “
In closing, the prime minister said: “Two comments, however, would be held by it: First, that the issues we will discuss prove the clear orientation of our government on the side of both society and homeland. And secondly, that our own answers to this ever -increasing pseudology of the opposition will be first and foremost our work, which is doing our program.
And I think it’s good to keep these two data, as the situation, unfortunately, becomes increasingly toxic and our alert should be ongoing, On the one hand, directly denying the fake news that has now proven to be rapidly dispersed in public opinion and on the other, with our own efforts to be persistent with our own endeavorwhich still has to give more and better to everyone. “
“It’s the difficult way, but it’s the one -way street of progress. We are called upon to walk him with confidence in our strengths and persuading our fellow citizens. Let the impressions do us. The Greeks who hear and think are ultimately much more than those who only know how to shout. And the former expect a lot of us and only from us, “the prime minister said.
