“The government is here and will be here for every citizen tested” said the Prime Minister at the meeting of the Council of Ministersturning the page of the political agenda again on the internal issues that remain and the government is aware of them, focuses on them and launches support policies.
With the air of the “winner” after the successful trip to Washington and the decisive moves against the Turkish frenzy that followed, the Prime Minister and the government once again bow over the daily life of the Greek citizen, which concerns every aspect, from the accuracy and the energy impasse to security, education.
During his speech, the Prime Minister, knowing that energy precision is plaguing consumers, emphasized the reductions that have been made for electricity, stating the return of up to 60% of the amount paid by consumers to the bills, through the platform that will open in mid-June. , in the neutralization of the adjustment clause from July 1, with the price stabilization mechanism, and the taxation of 90% of the super profits of the electricity generation companies.
A move that, as the Prime Minister noted, caused “embarrassment to some”, of course photographing the opposition and especially SYRIZA, while he said that the head of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, urged Davos and other countries to imitate Greece.
Nevertheless, the relevant bill was passed in Parliament only with the votes of ND. “The government is here and will be here for every citizen who is tested,” he stressed.
However, in parallel with the message of support of the citizens, the Prime Minister chose from the podium of the Council of Ministers to contrast the government policy against populism, as he said and drew even more “intense” the dividing line that ideologically separates ND from SYRIZA.
A clear example of the attitude of the two parties is the news episodes that occurred at the Aristotle Universityfor which the Prime Minister reiterated the message of the government that it is not going to allow such diversions and will put an end to the lawlessness of the Universities.
“Life itself reveals the hypocrisy of populism, just like yesterday, when some young people attacked the police officers who were protecting the construction works of the new library at the Aristotle University. I will only say that if some people want to come back with sledgehammers and make them glasses and nails, the state will not allow it. And that if they are looking for blood and ‘heroes’ of episodes, they will not find them in collectives with the revealing name “Lawlessness” said Kyriakos Mitsotakis, calling on SYRIZA to choose: “with knowledge and freedom or with hoods and violence? Library or sledgehammer?
The government’s position, however, is clear, with Kyriakos Mitsotakis stressing that “our response to the demolition of libraries is to build new education, higher education,” referring to the new bill to upgrade universities.
A bill that enables the university to open new horizons for students and teachers. Establishes internal Erasmus programs, parallel studies in schools, double degrees, student startups, connection to work before graduation. And all this combined with a new, modern model of administration and promotion of teachers, which combines transparency with meritocracy, to the standards that apply in all advanced countries.
“A very bold and very reformist bill” as the prime minister described it, calling on the members of the Council of Ministers to support it and emphasizing that “This will be the great ideological battle that we will give in the coming months.”
Of course, the prime minister can refer to elections in 2023 at every opportunity, but inevitably even after the congressional procedures of ND, SYRIZA and PASOK – KINAL, the pre-election period, even if informally, is here.
Consequently, the government is not at all willing to let the opposition play alone in the arena of everyday life, which is also the easy way of criticism, but in a targeted and coordinated way it will continue to strengthen the citizen in every way and as much as the budget allows. .
