“The subsidy for electricity and gas bills will increase from April. For homes it will reach up to € 72 / MWh, from the current € 40. For professionals the aid will be doubled to eventually cover 50% of the increase and reach € 130 / MWh “.
This was emphasized by the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in a post on twitter, summarizing what he said during his speech in Parliament in the context of the discussion of the bill of the Ministry of Finance.
Also, 250,000 beneficiaries of the Minimum Guaranteed Income will receive a double installment in April.
At the same time, families will have one and a half extra installments of child allowance. In other words, 1.4 million households with more than 3.2 million members will benefit, he said, adding that our most vulnerable fellow citizens will be supported with 200 euros that will be allocated in April, directly, to 900,000 low-income retirees, uninsured seniors and people with special needs.
The Prime Minister pointed out that these amounts will be unsecured and will not be offset against other debts.
At the same time, he stated that the government is boosting the disposable income of almost all Greeks, reducing ENFIA not by 30% -as originally promised- but by 35%, thanks to a policy of responsibility that wants social benefits to always be based on fiscal our endurance.
