“In a comprehensive policy, the Prime Minister of the country will be mentioned on the weekend (6-7.9.2025) for the next period: for a more productive economy and a society that will take-mainly the middle class and the poorest and weaker economic groups of Greek society-a great deal of Greek society,” Takis Theodorikakosspeaking today (1.9.2025) at Open.
Takis Theodorikakos, referring to value of electricityhe said that “all citizens have to greet, see what the prime minister announced positively: that if the reduction in the power of electricity in wholesale does not go to the retail, he will intervene and take action. This is a very serious announcement, which concerns all of us, all Greek citizens, and will affect the whole chain with no doubt. “
Mr Theodorikakos also underlined intensive controls across the market: “I have ordered a new cycle of strict controls these weeks and I want to warn the people of supermarket be very careful. We have created a code of ethics for misleading discounts, it has worked well so far and if some have thought they will violate it, they have been wrong. “
For the prices at school supplieshe stressed that in his recent meeting with supermarket representatives it was agreed to maintain the same or reduced compared to 2024, while pointing out that “as in October last year after strict controls and demands were forced to voluntarily reduce 750 codes. I asked to do this year as well. I expect their immediate response. “
Mr Theodorikakos also referred to the creation of the new powerful independent market control and consumer control authority, with 300 additional auditors and digital tools, and in the coming weeks the new digital application will be ready so that each citizen can send a photo with his mobile phone. In addition, he stressed that “we will review things about the institutional framework, such as maintaining and after the end of October the measure of freezing offers on products that have been priced”.
For them popular markets He emphasized that “I will support the role of popular markets with all my might and will do everything in my power to have more producers in the lay people. We will strengthen with more farmers and producers existing folk, and in collaboration with municipalities there will be separate laymen for producers only. We want to support our agricultural production in practice. “
For the rise of veal price, he replied that it is a pan -European phenomenon as meat production has been reduced, while in Greece we consume 160,000 tonnes of veal meat and produce only 40,000. However, it also referred to products that have significant reductions such as pasta -8%, cleaning and individual hygiene types where we have negative inflation, while oil has decreased 30%.
And finally, he was asked about Recovering money from investments of older development laws They were not completed, stressing that “I have not heard from the opposition about this issue, not even a good conversation. This case did not come into my hands as a scandal, nor was it a public topic of discussion. More than a thousand companies have received hundreds of millions of euros from 2005 to 2019 for investments that have been completed, they did not do so, the law is clear and we will hunt for the last euro back. My mandate is clear: the first 43m euros have been confirmed by AADE and I will insist until the end so that there is not a single euro left in the interests of the Greek taxpayer to go to real productive investments that will create new jobs. “
