Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Sunday, speaking at a nationally television press conference from the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), appeared certain, as he said, that the Eurozone’s Stability Pack will be revised, when asked if his announced tax breaks and continued support to pandemic-battered businesses and wage-earners will worsen the country’s fiscal figures.
“I consider it certain that as of 2023 we will return to normalcy.”
Asked about the prospect of a snap election – a favorite press question by local reporters after a year or so of any government’s tenure – Mitsotakis repeated that his government will exhaust its four-year constitutional mandate.
“I want an election win, and that’s why we’re planning with a 10-year horizon… I will ask (voters) for an autonomous government,” he said.
Queried over the enactment of minimum scores for entry into tertiary education institutions in the country, the Greek premier said he prefers for a young person to study at a public vocational training center and become a web designer, instead of entering a university from which that individual will not graduate.
On the issue of skyrocketing electricity rates, which are expected to “electrocute” the wallets of households and budgets of businesses in the coming period, Mitsotakis said relief measures may be expanded to the first quarter of 2022, “the state and the Public Power Corp. will cover, to a great extent, the hike in electricity rates”.
